Matthew Hoggard
Former England bowler on The Cricket Social

Test cricket is dying. England is an anomaly. Look at Newlands. Most of the fans are English. We're all trying to protect Test cricket. How much is it going to be played in five years?

Eddie: Those two contrastingly brilliant innings' from Sibley and Stokes, highlighting perfectly, for me, modern Test match cricket and why it must stay a 5 day game.

Jamie Hoyle: Loved that Stokes/Sibley partnership this morning. Two completely contrasting styles of play that complemented each other perfectly. More of the same please...

Ollie Pope is given the job of chasing the Hadada ibis out of Dean Elgar's eyeline.

Better from Stuart Broad, a maiden.

Malan sees off the rest of the over.

There were two noises but it was front pad then back leg.

And it was going wide of off stump. Good decision not to review.

Pieter Malan mistimes his shot, is hit on the pad and the ball deflects to slip.

England go up for lbw and caught.

Joe Root asks James Anderson if he thinks Malan hit that.

Anderson isn't interested and turns back to his mark. Root doesn't review.

More busy work from Malan and Elgar, picking up the runs when on offer.

Maybe a bat drop if you're playing against India?

Phil Raynor: Surely a mic drop would be more appropriate.

James Anderson strays a touch down leg and Pieter Malan clips it away crisply for a couple.

South Africa have scored 438 to win once before... in that amazing one-day international against Australia, external in Johannesburg in 2006.

The day Stuart Broad isn't convinced absolutely every lbw shout is out is the day he has lost his love of Test cricket.

Waaaay off that yet.

In fairness to Stuart Broad, the first slow motion replay didn't appear to show the ball hitting the bat.

But ultra-edge has a spike. The thinnest of nicks.

England lose a review.

He's hit it.

Stuart Broad brings out the celebrappeal!

He's absolutely convinced he's got Pieter Malan lbw dead in front.

Only, umpire Kumar Dharmasena doesn't agree.

Long debate...and Joe Root sends it upstairs.

Dean Elgar also gets off the mark with a four, square driving a full, wide, fairly dross delivery by Stuart Broad to the fence.

Get 'em in boundaries.

The sun is behind clouds, the wind is blowing straight down the ground. It's a very good time to bowl.

Pieter Malan is balancing on that very fine line between leaving like a genius and getting his off peg knocked over shouldering arms a la Michael Clarke.

Hello. Pieter Malan makes a very, very late decision not to play at a James Anderson delivery that evades off stump by an inch.

A leave that Rahul Dravid would be very proud of. Oohs and aahs from England.
