4th Test Match Manchester

[Altobelli]

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

[Altobelli]

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

[Supersub6]

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!!

[Altobelli]

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

[Altobelli]

Lunch SA 12 for 1.

Thanks Alto
Lots of movement in the air and off the pitch, so I thinks it's possibly a good total on what seems a slow outfield. Hope Bairstow can carry his bat.

My wish almost granted. Well done Jonny and Jimmy.

[Altobelli]

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.

[Altobelli]

Kuhn gone for 23, SA 84 for 3

[Altobelli]

At Tea SA 93 for 3.

[Altobelli]

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.
