Stokes gone for 56, 190-5. Much needed century partnership for England.
Finally a wicket for Rabada.
Roooooooooot on 83*

That's a captain's innings from Root.
How many times can he do that to save face for the openers before he gets dragged down to their level though?
Third Test on.
England batting on a slightly-damp, but drying Oval, aboot 50-1 - Jennings out for his third duck innings.
Boycs in great form on TMS, "As well as digging into Keaton Jennings' cricket technique, Geoffrey Boycott on TMS is having a grump about "these modern coffee cups with lids on them". Apparently, Boycs - whose name, lest we forget, is an anagram of Grotty Coffee Boy - prefers an old-fashioned china cup."
88MPH inswinging yorker kittles Malan out.
Sounds just like Waqar Younis or Wasim Akram in 1991.
Unplayable when it's bowled at that pace.
Must watch on C5 highlights when I get back from tonight's game.
121-4 Cook 55*.
Sick of these one sided test matches tbh. I want England to win but ffs it's dull as sh!te for folk with day 3, 4, or 5 tickets if the result is pretty much known. Nae fight in these batting (unts. I blame 20/20.
20/20 is horsesh!t & ruining test matches. If you can't win one, you should try not to lose it but they just all go into big bash mode. They should be forced to watch endless re runs of Michael Atherton leaving a ball

Of course, for 40 minutes, until Allan Donald was knackered, this was the most attritional, gladitorial sporting telly of 1998 whn it was still on BBC (**** off Murdoch).
