Come on England! Big wicket that for Mo. England have been far better after tea and with a good push with the new ball, could at least pull themselves back into this one. That looked highly unlikely at tea.
I have no idea how Duminy keeps getting selected.

A good last hour from South Africa. They weathered the storm, and have scored freely with the new ball.
Not a great day for Jimmy in a series that has been a bit disappointing for him. I wonder how much, if at all, that injury is still bothering him.

Bavuma in competition with DeKock : Broad takes the stick !
Current partnership 50 runs, 11.4 overs, RR: 4.45 (Bavuma 24, de Kock 25)
323 - 5

South Africa 329/5 at stumps. Very much South Africa's day, and Stephen Cook will rightly receive the headlines for his century on debut. England bowled better after tea, but it was a case of too little, too late. South Africa have put themselves in the ascendancy, and will have their eyes set on a score of 500+.

Arrived Day 3 at Wanderers and what a day.
Today at Centurion not so good.
Bairstow will have to do what Prior did and become a better keeper, moving to the left as a trigger does not help.
Amla what timing, that man is a genius.
Back in the morning so hopefully we make some early inroads.
Beautiful setting.

Water is wet, the sun comes up in the morning and Broad gets AB de Villers. He really is his bunny, isn't he? AB perishes without scoring. South Africa 238/3. England have bowled a much better line (and length) since tea. Runs have been hard to come by and that has paid off with two quick wickets.

After some of the comments AB came out with I just wished it was Anderson that got him but either way, I'm happy he's gone for a duck. What's the saying in England these days..."chat shit, get banged"...
Re: 4th Test: South Africa vs England at Centurion - dillinger10 - 01-23-2016
Excellent points, Mail, re: Bairstow. I really hope that he can make improvements, as he really solidifies England's middle-order, but you can't keep giving the opposition chance after chance.
This was a better day for England. Stokes continues to pick up wickets, and Cook and Root have put together a partnership to help settle some of the jitters. Compton was desperately unlucky to get one that kept so low. I suspect the erratic bounce will be a big feature over the next three days of this Test.
