Well that's one way to bring up your 100 
England Cricket Summer 17 - South Africa & West Indies

- Start date
Stokes is a star! If only England had a decent top order...
353 all out. Seems like a decent score all things considered.
I think it's quite a lot.
Decent total, all things considered. A wicket or 2 before tea and it's bloody brilliant!
30-3. Toby Roland-Jones with the wickets of Elgar, Kuhn and Amla.
Some lovely deliveries for those wickets. Our 350 looking pretty good.
47-4. Roland-Jones again.
Some debut this.
De Kock is not a Test Match number 4.
Cracking player, but he should be in at 6 in a proper batting line up.
Fair play to TRJ today, perfect conditions for him and he has nailed it.

Touch of Martin Bicknell about TRJ.
Sky comm's having a bit of a shocker there. Obvious inside edge and even when it showed up on ultra edge they still managed to miss it on first viewing...
47-5. With your team in the shit, you leave that and have the nerve to use your last review on it!
What a terrible leave...
feck's sake what a leave
Not a bad debut from TRJ, did alright with the bat now a different animal with the ball
@ Du Plessis sticking his leg out wider and not looking at the Umpire to try and make it seem like it was nowhere near.Incredible debut from Roland Jones.
Yep, making it harder to follow at work
Resigned to just keeping an eye on the score in the tab rather than going into it as much
That rabada delivery yesterday was something else
England going great, conditions probably even more favourable for bowling now, but that England innings of 350 for me was well over par, and Cook's innings was pivotal, clear MOTM for me right now (despite Stokes century and TRJ's 4for)
EDIT
Oh and nice leave FAF
51-6. Morris caught and bowled by Jimmy.
Well this has turned out well!
Philander not going to bat, so England should be hoping to force a follow on tonight with the bowling unit only bowling around 35 overs, the weather tomorrow will make batting tricky and the bowlers have good spells of rest.
Avoiding the follow-on is down below 40 now, with England needing 2 more wickets. No idea if that will go back to 3 overnight, not heard anything on Philander.
Right on cue, Broad bowls Rabada 114-8

114-8South Africa are horse shit.
Rabada's yorker yesterday was glorious. Corker of a delivery. Malan had no chance whatsoever.
Roland-Jones bossing it today. Good to see.
Roland-Jones bossing it today. Good to see.
Toby with 5 wickets
Nice 59 from Westley, found runs harder to get today. Let's see what Malan can do
If him and Stokes can stay in for the next 30-40 mins we may see a fair bit of catching practice for the crowd. Set up nicely is this test.
England looking good for a win unless weather plays a major role
I can see why England are batting on here tbh, the pitch looks significantly easier to bat on than over the past two days and the weather is set fair tomorrow. Think they'll want 500 and 4 sessions.
Good shout
Kuhn Clean bowled, he is worse than Jennings
TRJ has got the big wicket of Amla
Faf againDu Plessis outdoes his leave from the first innings. Proper pub league stuff.
Good grief.
I absolutely love Ben Stokes. This damn guy...
