Coin toss absolutely vital. Saffers win and you're looking at them batting long twice on a road with no chance of a declaration until the game is dead.
Go on Smiffy!!! Win that toss. |

By:
looking at England's batting lineup their only chance of beating SA is bowling them out cheaply in one of the two innnings.
I think england will need to be batting by lunch tomorrow at the latest to have a sniff. |
|
By:
just looking at the teams on Sky, SA look so superior and England distinctly lacking in the middle order

By:
backing england to start now that Finn is playing at 5.2
too high that will probably dump anything before we bat though |
|
By:
iv got an oreder waiting @ 6.0

By:
Is it raining? draw price in free-fall
|
|
By:
thats because the market expects slow batting for 5 days from /SA
|
|
By:

Cloud cover.

draw is highly over priced ,should be atleat 3.0-3.25 at this point of time ..
|
|
By:
its never gonna be 3.0... SA wont go for the win unless england collapse..
|
|
By:
underpriced
|

Well I'm confident Saffers will bat at least 5 sessions first dig. They'll go at it at about 2 runs an hour with no risks.
England will have to bowl a hell of a lot better than they have done in the series so far to make inroads this morning. All the pressure on them with the conditions. |
|
By:
teams set up to win
if they are not in a position to win they play for the draw. but they always try to win |
|
By:
2 runs an over not hour
Even the Saffers aren't that slow! |
|
By:
Come on Jim!
|
|
By:
I want Smith out early. Back in the hutch!
|
|
By:
And Amla, can't be letting him rack up 300.

By:

Broady takes a time from tweeting to have a bowl.

By:
I'm laying the draw, lump and leave. 5 days is a long time.
Agree Finn is a good selection d13phe. |
|
By:
me too laying draw
|
|
By:
Forecast is tidy for Saturday. Not sure about any other days.
|
|
By:
Broad will just get the batsman in as usual
cant remember him ever ripping out the openers with the new ball |
|
By:
Not ideal batting conditions here
|
|
By:
Average 1st innings test score at Lords is 397. Need to be skittling them for less than 300.
