    Follow on passed, but another 182 runs to tie it up is a long way away

        Going well so far. Need to keep up this intensity after lunch and not let them get easy runs.

          Patel bowls the last over to de Kock and creates a couple of half-chances.

          80/4 in that session.

            Didn't catch a ball today, fucking work, but great to see Nicholls confirmed as our number 5 batsmen for the next 6 years. I still think there's some defensive flaws that need work but you can't deny his potential, mentally he appears pretty strong, some good knocks against quality opposition under his belt now. 118 against SA on day one of a test is nothing to be sneezed at.

            CDGH to take another 6 tomorrow...

                      SA in some ways remind me of us. I see us at 100/6, I give up hope. Then I login a few hours later and see somehow or other we made 300 odd.

                      You get SA at 100/6, I feel ok ... but then there is still a decent chance of them making 300.

                        Fucken cracker day in the capital. PERFECT conditions for cricket....or in my case to sit in the pub and watch on TV.

                          Great from Nichols, shows the bonus of picking a good young guy who can tweak his technique & grow into being a test player. Anbd has the time to be in that team for 8 more years.

                          As opposed to picking mid thirties guys.

                            Jeetan takes 0 for 50 off 10 overs. Wagner's been equally expensive with 1 for 75 off 17.

                            Jaapies with a chance to press on for a decisive advantage - though while I'm typing Wagner takes offense at being likened to Jeets and gets Bavuma.

                            So we also have a chance to wrap them up conceding only a modest advantage and require them to bat last on a pitch that might offer a small amount of assistance to the fiery and terrifying Jeetan!

                                Jappies 9 down and 50 odd ahead. How many overs until stumps? We don't want to bat an uncomfortable last 20 minutes or something, best for our bowlers to tank the last few overs
