So what do we reckon then, draw or win ? I'm saying draw.

Flintoff back on the field.

If we win this one then 11(+) wickets would mean an MOM for me...

Having said that I am still trying to work out how Kallis won the MOM for the second test?

Read, S Jones, G Batty etc are all around the bounderies fielding when the ball is hit for 4. Good thinking by Fletch to save valuable time.

What a good idea ! That shows Duncs got more sense than I gave him credit for. Normally those three would be chewing nails in a nervy fashion. Much more productive.

I think it is safe to say Hoggard or Gibbs. If SA draw this with an undefeated 150 from Gibbs then he will get it. I took 3-1 on an England win at 20-3, so have a double interest now in seeing the final wickets go down. What chance of Pollock holding us up again like he did in Durban???

Good for you, Milo. Heartbreaking when you think that they were 7/1 at the declaration this morning, though, and a whopping 12/1 at lunch yesterday!

Harmison taking a bit of a chance here with a flurry of bouncers to Smith. First one so high it was called wide, somehow he still manages to get away with two more in the over and then sends down another, which is no-balled. And to a man whom everyone on the field knows was concussed yesterday. He'll get no sympathy from the umpires for that, and if he does it again he'll be out of the attack for the rest of the game. Steve Bucknor has spoken to Vaughan about it.

I actually agree with the tactic, but he also needs to pitch the odd one up, to actually get him out...


Gilo is on for a bowl...

The tactic is fine twice an over, but after that you are going to get no-balled. Four in an over and you are certainly going to get warned for intimidatory bowling.
