They still have the ODIs and T20s to play, so they will be in South Africa for a while longer yet. The best teams in the world are never satisfied with just winning the series, they want to win every game in the series. That said, I think you have to give credit to South Africa here, and not lay all the blame on England. Sure, England haven't bowled at all well (Woakes in particular), but South Africa have shown great application with the bat in this Test. Rabada was also brilliant with the ball.

No century for Amla as he departs for 96. I'd imagine Bavuma and de Kock will thrash out now for another 5 overs and then declare.

I have no idea what ABdV is thinking here. The weather is not looking good, England are time wasting in the field and South Africa are struggling to get the lead up to 400. The lead is 378. England aren't chasing that down. The highest successful 4th innings run chase at Centurion is 251. This is very defensive captaincy from ABdV

The rain has intensified and the players are coming off the field. It looks as though this rain will force ABdV into declaring now.

As harsh as it may sound, given South Africa's recent run of form, you would hope that ABdV would be more worried about getting the win than allowing batsman to reach individual milestones.

Play will resume in 20 minutes. South Africa have declared. So the rain did indeed force ABdV's hand.

"With the time remaining, and what SA have managed today,

they would be setting themselves up for a loss if they declared now

leaving England a target (albeit a high one) reachable at just over 3/over."

381 would be the 7th highest ever successful run chase in Test history. There have been just 9 instances of teams successfully chasing down scores of 350+.

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."		(13.09.2025, 10:58)(10:58)0
