They obviously have a plan to get rid of Piet. I like this Bayliss! But Compton should leave it to Hales. Compton should work on turning over the strike as opposed to big hitting.

Compton's gangsta.

Commentators getting their noses rubbed into it by the excellent Compo.

If they did any homework at all, they would see his strike rates are very healthy indeed.

List 'A': 78.8

T20 : 114

First Class: 47

Bayliss looks to have turned an average and some better than average bunch of Test Players into a very good unit. We are good in England, useless in the sub-continent, but playing well in this series

By:

Whisperingdeath When: 02 Jan 16 11:36

How low will the draw go?

By:

detraveller When: 02 Jan 16 11:38

..and at what price would you be willing to back SA? They are now at 5.1

By:

johnnythebull When: 02 Jan 16 11:38

600, still have nightmares about Adelaide.

England 113/1, Wright a cracking ton & Willey 3/19. What's going on??

The players definitely seem to be enjoying a more relaxed environment. Add to that you don't see the bowlers chuntering and moaning all the times re misfields/ drop catches. There was a time when Swann, Broad & Anderson bullied the fielders.

Injera When: 02 Jan 16 11:51

I wouldn't give Bayliss too much credit. We've got a lot of excellent players who are maturing all the time.

Wood, Vince and Plunkett would walk into this Saffer side.

Bayliss and Cook were both quick to give support to Moores in the Summer.

Annoyed I had to use some of my England Green to Cover the Draw especially as I don't think it will be a Draw but can't afford to be wrong.

By:

jucel69 When: 02 Jan 16 12:09

The draw drop has stalled, time to cash out and wait for a while.

By:

johnnythebull When: 02 Jan 16 12:13

today's SA side is a poor imitation of their powerhouse sides of yore

By:

dylansdad When: 02 Jan 16 12:44

off 2 watch cardiff turn over blackburn

so sitting on my SA lay for a bit

By:

tomtimtum When: 02 Jan 16 13:05

Market very flat

By:

tomtimtum When: 02 Jan 16 13:10

Might see another price crash on SA with that wicket, during tea

By:

Whisperingdeath When: 02 Jan 16 13:18

Shame about that was sitting pretty there, still am but could do with England batting SA out of this game

I'd say England are in a very strong position and they need to hammer it home now. Would like to see the draw go odds on so I can lay it back and then slam into England. The pitch will be bone dry before the end of the game.

I expect SA to bat well so will be patient before I buy into England but for me as long as this session goes well for England there is only one winner although I am over heavy on the draw right now.

I hope the ball does not swing after tea at this ground

By:

Injera When: 02 Jan 16 13:22

WD - just hope we don't get silly cameos fom the lower order.

England need to go big..

By:

tomtimtum When: 02 Jan 16 13:25

SA 4.5 into 3.9

By:

Cardinal Scott When: 02 Jan 16 13:27

Can hardly believe how much the market reacted to Compton, as if he was a England's GUN bat.

By:

detraveller When: 02 Jan 16 13:32

There you go...

By:

Injera When: 02 Jan 16 13:34

If anyone doubts that we need a Compton in this side, that shot from Taylor proves why.

By:

Cardinal Scott When: 02 Jan 16 13:34

I may Red Out for small loss on all 3 outcomes after what has happened just before and just after tea. :-(

By:

Whisperingdeath When: 02 Jan 16 13:50

I think sit tight for now as SA have to bat last. Those two wickets have destroyed my colour scheme but still not too far behind here. Confident England will prevail but not in their ability to screw up this innings!

By:

DAN1974 When: 02 Jan 16 14:01

sounds like most of us are in the same boat, i was nicely green after trading the draw then layed SA just before the compton wicket. still slightly in front but need to be patient and hope England can post 350.

By:

Injera When: 02 Jan 16 14:11

I've greened out for now. I can't call this session or these prices at all. New ball to come.

By:

trader pj When: 02 Jan 16 14:12

England well on top IMO - and who wants to bat 4th on here?

350+ is a certainty

By:

tomtimtum When: 02 Jan 16 14:28

England run line 413 with lad

By:

Whisperingdeath When: 02 Jan 16 14:33

The only certainty is there are no certainties!

By:

tomtimtum When: 02 Jan 16 14:34

was moaning id missed the 3.5 lay on SA, glad I did

By:

Injera When: 02 Jan 16 14:35

It's just so hard to call.

Careless from England.

By:

tomtimtum When: 02 Jan 16 14:42

run line 361

By:

detraveller When: 02 Jan 16 14:44

I think England will struggle up to around 350 mark.

By:

DAN1974 When: 02 Jan 16 14:45

what price SA if England do post about 350 ?

By:

the whizz kids When: 02 Jan 16 14:45

Draw price is crazy. Anyone else think it's now on the very low side. I just can't stop laying it.

By:

tomtimtum When: 02 Jan 16 14:50

Looks good to bat on, think it will go lower during SA innings

Im trying to do that too because England have a very strong bowling lneup. But Days 2 and 3 should see better batting conditions and you cant keep Amla and co out of form forever.
