VillanUK: Maybe Stokes will kick off this innings. I think it's going to be short but sweet!
This was sent before the Stokes reverse sweep...

BBC Test Match Special"Umpire Johan Cloete has had his confidence shaken here. He made a howler in the first innings, two more mistakes in this one, and his confidence is rattled."

Imran Tahir runs his fingers through his hair in frustration as ball tracking shows the ball to be pitching outside leg stump. Carry on, Ben.

Ben Stokes fails to connect with a sweep shot and is hit in front. The umpire raises his finger, but Ben Stokes reviews it...

Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special"I'd love to see the Christmas Test come here to Port Elizabeth. There are lots of families here who would love to come to cricket, and I think they could sell it really well."

Ben Stokes joins Alex Hales at the crease. This England batting line-up has plenty left to give. They've got Adil Rashid, who has 10 first-class centuries to his name, at number 10.

Neil Manthorp
BBC Test Match Special"Geoffrey, I agree with you on Behardien. He's even only a part-time bowler for his province, the sort of standard of bowling you'd expect in the nets."
Geoffrey Boycott adds: "He wouldn't even give me a good net!"

Geoffrey Boycott
Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special"I feel for the England captain, in some ways he'll think 'I did what I wanted to do reasonably' as he got after the spinner and the occasional bowler Behardien with his military medium rubbish. I don't know how he gets to bowl for South Africa. Keep on bowling him, you're not going to win too many one-dayers."

Morgan c De Villiers b Morkel 29 (Eng 169-3)
A big 'heave-ho', then a big 'oh no!' as skipper Eoin Morgan gets too early on a slower(ish) delivery from Morne Morkel, ends up stretching for it and AB de Villiers runs round to take a fine, tumbling catch at deep mid-wicket.

Daniel Monks: Is there any other way to play a yorker other than to "dig it out"?
Eng 168-2 (need 95 off 96 balls)published at 34 overs
That's the 50 partnership, off 48 balls, and England coach Trevor Bayliss applauds from the comfort of his plastic seat on the balcony.
Trevor strikes me as a bloke who'd like to sit on his porch, chewing tobacco in his rocking chair while watching the grandkids play. He's very undemonstrative.
As is this England run-chase. This game been shoplifted: it's in the bag.

BBC Test Match Special"Behardien's bowling is a bit like Paul Collingwood's - only not as good."
Geoffrey Boycott adds: "You can't let him and Duminy get through their 10 overs for a reasonable amount of runs."

Filthier than a dog which has just rolled in mud.
Farhaan Behardien bowls a half-tracker and Eoin Morgan guides him through the covers for four. Next time he serves up trash, the ball is smeared over the mid-wicket boundary towards the bins at the back of the stand. Rubbish!

Eoin Morgan's bat is perpendicular when he's stood waiting for the bowler to deliver. So when he decides to charge poor Kagiso Rabada, he looks like a club-wielding warrior. The young bowler keeps his nerve and the Morgan shuffle brings just a leg-bye. Five from the over.
Steady as she goes.
