    They're really slowing the over rate right now and it's incredibly frustrating. Philander is off the pitch so they are doing it deliberately to avoid having to bowl their 5th and 6th bowler too much.

    In my eyes it's cheating. The only way to stop it is to have run penalties at the end of every day/innings.

    Morris bowling terribly ruined that plan. Finally they brought the spinner on and he gets TRJ.

    Should have reviewed it. Think it would have been out but you've got 2 reviews left and no more batsmen to come. Just review it.

    Okay plum. Even still there's a chance they might find an edge ir something.

    two sixes and Stokes gets his century!

    The first was caught by Faf but he fell over the rope. Close call.

    But brilliant hundred. And a 3rd successive 6!

    350 up, think that's a decent score if we can bowl well enough.

    Loving those sixes, the first was fortunate but good hit on the 2nd to bring up his century.

    351 all out.
    Decent score I reckon

    353 all out, a decent score but not a winning score imho!

    Should be a good score on this wicket (not that I've seen a single ball bowled !) - but Michael Holding said over 300 was a good score so I wont argue with him !

    The pundits seemed to believe 300 was just above average, 320 would be decent enough so 350 should be good. Was greedily hoping Ali could hang around for 370-380 though.

    TRJ looked great against the quicks and scored some great boundaries but he didn't last long against the spinner (might have been first ball).

    Broad is bowling like a pussy. Anderson gets back on and wicket straight away
    These are great bowling conditions, and philander is apparently unwell
