Anything above 250 looks difficult on this pitch, slow and low now. England definitely had the heavy roller on this morning.

Stokes just walked on a LBW lol
England might regret not batting quicker in those 50 overs yesterday.
Conversely, think how much worse a position they would be in had they gone for it on a pitch that really was not much better yesterday rather than playing carefully.
Ah, the good old English batting collapse. 
Philander 
Liam Dawson genuinely makes me angry.
So, who would take the boredom yeah?
Be over tonight, if batting doesn't start to look rather easier when England have the ball in hand.
Can't see him playing again, unless Root loves him as much as Ballance
Agree with this. England's tactics were right.
They're in a bit of a pickle right now, though. I'd love to see them wrapped up for another 15-20 and SA make a fist of the chase.
Shame there's no Du Plessis.
Still possible to get a 350 lead from this if Bairstow plays well, as Wood is no mug with the bat.
Very important runs from Wood. feck off back to the pavillion now..
Still not taken the new ball
He's having fun here. Demoralising for SA.
Time for some more six hitting from Jimmy.
Come on Jimmy send some out the park.
England all out for 233. South Africa need 331 to win.
I think batting QDK at #7 is one of the worst tactical things I've seen in cricket.
He is the most accomplished young player I have seen in a very long time. They need to take the gloves off him and stick him in at #5 with a view to taking 3 or 4 eventually.
If they think Kuhn is just 1 player away from the 11, they should just slot him in somewhere in the middle order and give him the gloves.

Good total set, will be challenging for SA. Really good test pitch.
I personally think it's a game winning total for England.
That ball on 0.4 from Anderson made me aroused.
It bloody should be!
Considering the pitch, I think it should be a fairly comfortable win but Saffers are genuinely good in 4th Innings test matches.
Shoot, looked out
Damn. Thought that was low enough.
Good catch Bairstow
12-2
Really poor shot selection, but well caught and bowled by Mo.

Moeen looking good so far.
25-3. Another ridiculous shot.
25-3 Wood with his 1st
SA have sent in the gun to surpass all other guns
Moin Ali ... 4 overs, 4 Maidens 1 Wicket
Amla gone. 28-4.
What a waste of a review too.

Rather hopeful review, that one.
