Underway again with England winning the toss and batting having reached 107-2 against some good bowling. Cook on 45 and Root 27
Jennings got a duck and Westley 25.
Philander back on causing troubles after having to go off for a gut problem.
Root caught behind off him for 29.
Malan comes on at 113-3
I was waiting for someone to put this up as I'm getting lazy, thanks Colner :)
England 136 for 4
Cook 66 and Stokes just coming in on 7, saying that they are having a look at a Stokes run out... .. . . . . . he's safe.
Rain stopped play.
Ends 171-4
Well done Cook on 82 and Stokes 21. Difficult conditions and some tight bowling.
New recruits added little so far! Westley unlucky to be caught out by rain breaks.
Tomorrow morning will be crucial for us. The South Africans will come at us with a very good bowling attack and Cook and Stokes will have to deal with it, otherwise we could be in real trouble if either of them go quickly.
Interesting times ahead.
Agree but ... Wonder if rain will be a significant factor
Dry to start with in Vauxhall this morning, but its very overcast in my garden but hopefully it gets brighter a few miles down the road.
