Steve Taylor: Running in to bowl during a league match in a local derby. My bootlace snapped and the boot flew off over my head and landed in front of me onto the wicket. 

Paul Barratt: My first game for the village team, age 14. Fielding in the deep, I kneel to take  a hard hit ball, which bounces up to hit me on the forehead, before rolling over the boundary. Somewhat stunned, I see with horror that my mother is running on to the field to administer first aid…!

"South Africa have now batted for 126 overs. England faced 125 overs in their innings."

Ben Stokes ended the last over swearing at the umpire after his bouncer was called a wide. He begins his latest set of six by asking the same umpire if he can change the out of shape ball. I think Bruce Oxenford takes great delight in using his ball shape contraption to prove all is well with the current cherry.

Faf du Plessis adds to Stokes' frustrations with an easy two into the leg side.

"The pitch is as flat as you know what. My mum could bat on there in a timeless Test, you would never get her out. Quite frankly it is very difficult to bowl them out. I don't think it is anything to do with England; the pitch is winning. It's not great for cricket. We were lucky to see Stokes and Bairstow yesterday, otherwise it would have been tedious." 

Steven Finn, with muscles that could crack a nut, throws a few glares around the field when a quick single turns into three because nobody was backing up the throw. 

Kando Williams: While diving to stop a certain boundary, slid beyond the ball and disappeared from view into a drainage ditch - very messy.

Colin Sausage: Edged to 3rd man. Thought it was four so stopped & walked back and watched bemused as they ran me out? Ball had stopped before rope.

Will Thornton: Joined a new club, turned up hungover, bowled one ball, threw up on the wicket, then dropped a dolly. They still let me stay.

You wait for a run and you get two at once. Faf du Plessis clearly going into second gear against Ben Stokes here.

Up in the stands Beefy and Lamby are having a natter. Those two were different gravy back in the day. Knocked the stuffing out of many a bowling attack. 

Woody: Playing for Harlow 3rd XI as 15-year-old. Misfielded simple stop at square-leg. In anger, chased ball so hard to boundary that I couldn't stop and disappeared into the stinging nettle-filled ditch. Had to leave the field embarrassed and covered in stings. the nickname "Nettles" stuck for some time...

Shall we make a deal? I'll tell you when South Africa score a run and you keep me entertained with your embarrassing cricket moments?

Shake on it?

Chris Bay: England vs Sri Lanka in the third Test at the Rose Bowl, 2011. I was lucky enough to win hospitality tickets which meant free beer from the bar all day. Nearing the end of the afternoon session, I decided to get up from the balcony to get myself another beer. Cue Ian Bell waving his bat at me angrily and the TV cameras zooming in on my reddening face, which many friends then screen grabbed and plastered all over social media.

It's there. Surely. Finally. Thank the L...D'oh!

Faf du Plessis gets a leading edge off James Anderson but the ball drops just short of a panic-stricken Steven Finn at mid-off. He was slow out of the blocks for that one, but might not have made it anyway.

Matt Roberts: Hales getting Bairstow out can’t be as bad as Surrey CCC keeper Rory Burns bowling Captain Cook.

Time for some Joe Root. Is Alastair Cook racing through the overs so he can get his feet up in the dressing room? This match is going nowhere as both teams close up shop for the day.

"England dropped De Villiers last night and if they had got them four of five down in that evening session it would have been a totally different approach to day three, but De Villiers and Amla have really put a peg in the ground for South Africa."

Hashim Amla has now batted for 500 minutes. In that time, he could have steamed through the Rambo box set, used up his monthly talk time on his pay as he goes mobile or read The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.

Instead he's batting England into submission. Maiden.

Gareth Davies: T20 Somerset vs Surrey 2014. Clear skies and a packed house at Taunton. I’m donning my Tribute Ale promo hat which entitles me to a year’s supply of free beer if I catch a six. Jason Roy heaves one into the crowd. Where’s it going? It's landing on my head. This is too good to be true! I fumble. And I’m live on Sky Sports.

Alex Hales is a tricky customer. One delivery is so slow, Faf du Plessis has time to make a brew before digging it out. The next is fizzed through and gives the batsman the hurry up. Maiden over.

"I'd like Amla to find his tempo again. Andrew told us that since his 150 he has scored three runs in 30-odd balls."

That's better, Jimmy. The Burnley Express moves away from his wide-of-off-stump line to drag his length back and the ball shapes away from Hashim Amla's flaying outside edge. The batsman was genuinely deceived there. Well bowled.

Peter Walters: "I once faced Alex Hales' bowling as an 11-year-old, he played for Gerrards Cross I played for Chalfont St Peter, he arrived with a reputation and I lost my wicket to him. He also smashed my bowling all over the park. I feel no shame now as Jonny Bairstow faced the same fate."
