Late with this Phil. Too long in the lounge?
Sounded like a gritty day and 350 could be a good score
Could moan and ask what happened to the Cook days of 4 runs per over though?

Well done to England - entertaining 20 minute hoick adding 20 runs and a NO for Moeen to help his average.
380 runs needed by SA to square the series.
3 Hopes…
It started early again ?
Or not as the heavens have opened
