South Africa vs England 2015/16

South African Dale Steyn is out of the next test due to a shoulder injury... How sad

In the 3rd test South Africa win the toss and have opted to bat first

Dane Vilas replaces an injuried Quinton De Kock behind the stumps.

South Africa will be bowling last without a spin option

Amla's leading a charmed life.... The blind umpire failed to give an obvious LBW and the next ball took the inside edge just past the off stup for 4.
Stokes is furious but he's proving to be England best bowler.

Current score SA 97-1

It couldn't have been that obvious because the review also went against England.

If the umpire had got the decision right in the 1st place then he would have been out.
It was hitting half ball, middle stump. And with the silly system that we have it goes down as 'umpires call'

After the review the umpire was shaking his head at his call and so was I

South Africa at tea are 152/3. England bowled well in the afternoon session, but South Africa still in a good position.

De Villiers is OUT!!
South Africa on 161/4.

Edit: Du Plessis now out too.
186/5.

Another South African run out. Bavuma out for 23

Although you have to give a lot of credit to Jonny Bairstow in getting to the stumps.

Current score SA 212 -6

Close of play South Africa 267-7

South Africa 313 all out. Probably a decent total.
