Congrats Pat - 300 test wickets and best figures for a fast bowling captain at Lord’s 6-28
Quality review there
Day 3’s will get a session then.
I give it till just before tea.
Will Australia declare?
No, but I’d be surprised if they survived for more than 10-15 overs tomorrow, so S.A. won’t be chasing more than 230-240, but I struggle to see them survive for 2 full sessions
Aussies will win comfortably 200+ only chased once at Lords since 2005.
SA have to make big inroads into that target today if they are to have a chance, pretty much ideal batting conditions at present.
Australia are still massive favourites.
If they had batted like this in the first innings then….
Collapse incoming.
If a collapse has to happen , it should happen soon.
Where’s @JU97ICE
Under a hundred needed.
Australia still in it, but need a wicket.
It’s been a brave innings by Bavuma.
Just hope the saffers can get through now.
I take it you’re all gutted for those plucky underdog Aussies??
Don’t generally mind the Aussies. But then the cricket.
It’s not like I want the poms to win over them.
But any other team winning over the Aussies , even if it’s Pakistan
Still wouldn’t count them out considering the opponent.
It’s going be one hell of a session.
The match is far from over. Fair play to SA for making a game of it though.
I still expect a surprise (if that’s even possible).
