4th Test Match Manchester

England finish on 362 with Bairstow unlucky being called lbw on 99 after alternating brilliantly and guarding Anderson from the strike.

Weird that Jimmy Anderson is bowling from the Jimmy Anderson end.

Cracking innings by Bairstow and he was unlucky to be given out, however, he has given us a real chance with that last wicket stand which was a masterclass in farming the bowling.
Mind you, he has fumbled the first two deliveries from Jimmy so he needs to forget it, however, Jimmy takes matters into his own hands ----Elgar gone!!

Anderson traps Elgar lbw with his 3rd ball, SA 3 for 1 :)

Lunch SA 12 for 1.

My wish almost granted. Well done Jonny and Jimmy.

Amla gone for 30 bowled Roland-Jones caught Bairstow, SA 54 for 2.

The ball has lost a lot of it's movement since Lunch.

Kuhn gone for 23, SA 84 for 3

At Tea SA 93 for 3.

SA move onto 131 for 3 with Bavuma 46 and Du Plessis 27 being very difficult to dismiss.


Just as I write Anderson clips the offside of Bavuma's stumps, 131 for 4.
