SA struggling to make any impact on day 1.

Flat track?

Flat track it was England declares at 8/593 day 2.

Smith sends England in so Steyn Morkel and Ntini can scare the English out of the series early on.

Each goes for a 100 plus.

Smith heads for drawing board again.

Outclassed and outplayed!!

SA all out 247 forced to bat again!

Two days to go and nearly 340 to get.

I'll check the odds.

Head To Head
England 1.40
Draw 3.10
South Africa 67.00

Skip the middle bit.

Wasn't quick enough to edit it out.

I bet there'll be a bunch of debate among some people now about KP being the best batsman in the world.

Looks like the last day is going to end in a boring draw, when it all looked so promising at the end of day two.

Sadly.

Well the old Merv haster say azow it's abit better than snatchin' defeat from them jaws ov victory!

What has happened to Lord's pitch, its turned into a batman's paradise. Heard the commentator say last 5 tests have produced draws. It used to always produce great games.

Jeez sack the groundsman'n'is mob'n'turn loose a hatful ov Merinos ter maintain them hallowed pastures in St John's Wood!

headingly'll be over in 2 days.
England 112 @ 68
SA 586-6 dec off 94 overs (Kallis 296 off 202 balls. Caught in the deep of Fred going for 6th six in the over to bring up his 300 shortly before declaration)

Will Fred get a run?

Hope so.
