Good to see Jimmy back, though

Moen Ali refused a recall, no doubt seeing it’s a tricky tour.

Amla was a thorn in our side last time they met.

Good start for England at Centurion but the Saffers are building slowly. 152-5.

Good stuff from Broad to wrap up the SA first innings in the first over.
The pundits were saying yesterday that 300 is a decent score, so England just need to take their time and get a first-innings lead

FFS!

England 142/3, now 150/6. Fuck's sake.

[kancutlawns]

Lost the test by 107 runs. Surprised we got that close to the target even with the start to the second innings. Some solid looking scores at the top of the card but result wasn’t really in doubt. Who’s to blame?

- de Kock should have been caught in his first over - he went on to make 95
- England collapsed from 142/3 to 180 all out in first innings.

That pretty much sums it up.

And shit bowling yesterday.

Root putting them in as well.

A shame to see a once formidable Test team comfortably beaten again.

The albatross of a Captaincy.
