Today's cricket

They've been thoroughly outplayed this series. Hats off to South Africa. And to do it in England too - a great achievement.

[Dynamo Dan]

England 6-2 both openers gone.
Disappointing, no pi$$ poor.

Pretty harsh. I doubt you'd find many top order batsman capable of dealing with those deliveries when they're fresh on the crease.

South Africa are better than us and have won the key moments in the series. We've not disgraced ourselves by any means - well Pietersen has but that's another story!!!!

Agree with Noel and Dan, South Africa have just been too good for England. They took the fight to us from the off in our own backyard and in all likelihood after tomorrow will be deservedly rated the best test side in the world.

Any predictions on what time it will finish today. I'll go for 2.40.

Just watched Taylors run out, no excuse for that.

3.30 for me Chaddy

Bairstow just gone. Shame, looked like a good aggressive innings. 136 for 5 at the moment. Probably be lucky to make it to Tea.

They did get to Tea! Fighting effort from Broad and Prior. But Broad's gone now and with the new ball due in 10 overs it might not last much longer.

95 to win. Could we, just could we

[Stagger]

285 for 8 still an up hill battle. 346 to win.

Let down again by bats men. Only one of top 5 batter's made more than 4 runs.
