England - South africa test

[HowardKennitby]

South Africa all out for 309 first innings. That total should make a competitive match.

It's more than they should have got, & England is going to need 550 at a good rate to force the win required.

How's it now?

90/4

[HowardKennitby]

England all out for 315. South Africa start second innings 6 behind. Still game on.

[Nibble]

Well from 50-4 to this total of 315 is a good effort by the middle order, and respect to the tail.... As you say, howard, GAME ON!

[HowardKennitby]

South Africa all out. England start second innings 345 behind. Quite a bit to do to win this one.

[HowardKennitby]

South Africa win by 51 runs. Take the series 2-0.

[kayakamina]

Terrific game. Pity it's not a 5 match series.

[HowardKennitby]

Why? Would you have liked then to win 4-0? They were the better side all over. Good effort by Prior & Swann though.

[kayakamina]

I meant that the cricket has been so entertaining & the teams so well matched that another couple of tests would have been nice.

[HowardKennitby]

I knew that :-)

[kayakamina]

Except, of course, the 1st test which was very one-sided.
The second & third have both been exciting.
