Keep an eye on it England look like they maybe trying to set up a win Scoring at 5 an over which is going some in Test Cricket. SA could only have 10 players to bat as captain Smith is in hospital after been hit on the head and concussed in an accident before the start of play during catching practice.

So long as we don't start losing wickets we are going to be at least 300 ahead by the close of play today with 98 overs to go tomorrow. A quick spell of batting in the morning could get us 350 ahead with 90 overs left. Game on!

Craig, I hope you're right, but I think you're being optimistic ... it'll have to be one helluva bowling performance. Fingers crossed you're right though ...

Looks like you're right, England seem to have come out playing for a draw since tea. Very slow scoring at the moment, we will be lucky to get 220 ahead at this rate

they might just want to see the back of Ntini and then let rip again. Pitch is starting to play up a bit

Flintoff throws his wicket away needlessly, on the verge of total collapse now

Its turning out to be a cracking series- think England needed a challenge like this before the Ashes in the Summer- we are a good side- I wouldnt write us off in this one just yet

Strange Test this one, I'm guessing draw is odds on now. We need to make damn sure we bat until lunch tomorrow though ...

The weather is as good as, if not better, than anything seen on the previous 4 days. The earliest finish so far at least an hour of play left.

Why oh why didn't I take England at 10/1 yesterday afternoon? At least I got some at 5/2 during the tea break. Excellent stuff by England and well done too to Graeme Smith.

I also had the day off, to watch highlights of the NFL/AFL playoffs. Cricket was so exciting I didn't watch any gridiron ;D
Just think what we will do when Harmison returns to form!
