LUNCH

The last wicket falls and so lunch is taken at innings break..
(The times seem to have been altered.. I though lunch was half an hour ago?)

England 303 (100.1 ov) (RR 3.02)
South Africa To commence 1st innings.

I assume 2 full sessions from here... 60 overs to be bowled

I am not watching this game.. just following scorecard... so I I have not got a "feel for it"

From just the scores it looks evenly poised.. either side could win. (or it could be a draw)

There seems to have been a lot of lost overs that there is no attempt to make up.. it would be a shame if they simply ran out of time and it ended in a draw.

2 full days remain. It seems to me that England will set SA a large target, but SA may be able to make that? Or at least bat out time and save the match (Get a draw?)
Depends on how the pitch has deteriorated as we start day 4 and will go into day 5

Again... I am not watching this game to get a "feel" for it.

The bare numbers on paper....

SA still require 280 runs with only 6 wickets in hand... on a pitch that is 5 days old and likely deteriorated considerably.

England should be able to take 6 wickets on a 5th day pitch :roll

And so score a victory.

But..... Cricket is a funny old game....

There are 90 overs to be played.. SA need 280 to win ... that is a mere 3.1 runs per over.

Easy Peasy... sort of target in an ODI or T20 :)

AB De Villiers Is ONE of the players still at the crease.....he alone has been known (once) to score 100 off 31 balls... Gnomesayin? :cool

South Africa could win... at a pinch?

South Africa could hang in there all day and rescue a DRAW from the game. :)

Don't think I will make this one, Rumpole.

But looking forward to tomorrow's Cricket match (NZ v SL ODI). ;)

K

This one could easily fizzle out very early with wickets falling.

We'll see :cool
