Always got somebody to step up and produce the goods if needed and such good depth to their batting.

Fair play to March for his maiden ton, but only 7 runs off the last 2 overs and all they doing was saying how wonderful Aus were

The way India have started the chase, it could be decisive that they didn't reach 350 that looked there for the taking
Michael Clarke is the latest cheerleader screaming you beauty when March hit a boundary.
Help ..

One of the best cricketers that I have seen

After more than two decades and 164 Test matches, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, one of West Indies' finest batsmen, has retired. Chanderpaul finishes as the second-highest West Indian Test run-maker, 86 runs short of Brian Lara: Lara got 11,953 (11,912 for West Indies and the rest for the ICC World XI), while Chanderpaul scored 11,867 (all for West Indies).

they do get a bit nauseating at times

not having a neutral or away commentator as well makes it worse i think , mark nicholas doesn't count as he is worse than the aussies

Agree re the commentators .I suppose all commentators favour their own team but it just seems more obvious when they do it

Better from England

Jimmy gets a wicket as well

Surprised that Rabada came in at 8

Abbott looks a better 8 to me

Thought JB should have gone for that

Looks like we need 15 wickets to get SA out...!

Well played India and Manish Pandey

All the commentators keep saying how wonderful Mitchell Marsh is

Screwes up the last 2 overs when batting and then goes for 77 runs
Ben Stokes he is not !

Not sure what South Africa's tactics are here. Surely they should be pushing on or declaring

Jack Bannister has died aged 85. I always think of him as Uncle Jack because of his friendly and avuncular manner.

Spreads calling England runs at 375 - 390

Think we may get rolled over for less than 200 or get 600+..

Can't make my mind up so a watching brief for me

One of the comms mentioned that this ground has the smallest average for opening partnerships for touring teams in World cricket

The average is 21
