Second Test, day two, Cape Town
SA lead 1-0 in four-Test series
Before Stuart Broad begins his over, James Anderson has a good look at the ball. I don't know if he asked the umpire to inspect, but I wouldn't be surprised if England are trying to get it changed. In fact, the fourth umpire is hovering on the boundary with some spares. Ooofffft, Broad gets one to scuttle at Van der Dussen. Only the line saves VDD from hearing the death rattle.

England will know that if they can get two or three wickets they are pretty much into the tail.

Bess wheels away, throwing his hands to the sky when he thinks he's about to squeeze through Van der Dussen's defences. VDD, who doesn't appear to get rattled too easily, is expressionless in response. There are still 23 overs until the new ball.

It's the sort of innings England needed.

Van der Dussen has ridden his luck a little but, but give him credit - he has stayed in his comfort zone. He has played well and it was what his team needed.
SA 151-3
It doesn't matter how, it's how many.
Rassie van der Dussen has overturned being given lbw, dropped and caught off a no-ball, but has his second half-century in as many Tests.
He goes there by angling Stuart Broad to third man for four. Earlier on, England weren't shy of a word to VDD.
They aren't so chirpy now.

It doesn't look like England have scored enough runs - and that is the problem. If England can South Africa out for less than 300 they'd be delighted.

Hmmmm. Maybe this is the reason why Bess is bowling with a long-on. The fielder comes up for one ball, so Elgar goes downtown for four. The fielder goes back. Then again, if the fielder is up and Elgar is willing to go aerial, isn't that a reason to stick with him in the ring?
Graham Onions

England need to contain - and hopefully get a couple of wickets before the new ball. This is such a key period now. Even if you drift along and go at two and a half or three an over, South Africa are going to be in control of this game.
I think - and I'm not certain of this - that the French Olympic team at the 1900 Games was mainly made up of Britons.
Stuart Broad, England's best bowler today, after tea. Two slips and a gully. Wide of Van der Dussen's off stump. Left alone.

Simon Goodall: France can't be that bad surely. They've got an Olympic silver in cricket.
Bess, behind his shades, is happy to give the ball some air, but that's not tempting Elgar. For some reason, there's a long-on, who must surely be one of the least busy fielders out there. Jonny Bairstow is fielding. I'm not sure who for.

The genuine concern will be what the legs are like for these fast bowlers coming back. Anderson and Broad have been around for a long time, they're both in their 30s, and on these long, hot days, have they got it? Can they summon up the energy to break through?
The players are back out there for the 33 overs that remain in the day. Dom Bess is going to bowl to Dean Elgar.

This England team is drifting towards abject mediocrity. The batting is weak, the bowling ageing and toothless, the captaincy poor. Worrying.

Generally England bowled bowled pretty well in that afternoon session. Root has juggled them round as you would expect. It's good to see Stokes running in, with that dodgy knee. Dom Bess has done OK - he's more in that containment role. I'll be interested to see who Root starts off with in this session...
Countries that should have a decent cricket team but don't.
The first international match was between the USA and Canada.
The USA are getting their act together again, mind.

The pitch is dry. There's a little patch, about a good length on off stump, from the Wynberg End, where the ball has misbehaved just enough to be unsettling.
