South Africa in England

[Sureshot]

We need just two wickets. I can't see Morkel lasting long against Monty with those rough patches.

It's very tense. Fantastic match.

Does Colligwood not know How to Bowl?
If yes then it won't make much difference if someone tries him for at least one over.
Singles like these will be enough for South Africa to get their mark.

MONTY!!!!!!!

Anyone see Vaughan's captaincy there? What was he saying?

Monty finally successful. More pressure on Smith and RSA now. They desperately need Smith to do get out.

Oh, i can't bear to watch, i just don't think we can do it. Smith is just to much of an awkward Bugger.

Monty Peee !!!!! This may well be another Edgbaston thriller. These guys are finding Monty difficult on an Edgbaston pitch. Spare a thought for the guys in Galle playing Mendis and Murali !

Iam just relishing the fact that we have 2 very good test matches going on simultaneously.A welcome relief from the monotonous ODIs and T20s.

The game is still on.This could easily come down to how the SA tailenders handle the pressure.A wicket could tilt the balance any moment.If it does come down to the tailenders, England will have the edge with Monty and Freddie.

As I type, Flintoff comes back.England would love to get Smith here.If they do get him before the target goes below 70,England will be the favorites.

Good to see the pitch allowing Monty to come into the game here. Conditions often make a spinner useless in England, but this is good.

You ever seen a Test at Old Trafford?

As long as Smith is batting South Africa are favourites.

Monty is really underrated though.I rate him as a better spinner than Harbhajan.

Lol, at not spotting the no balls. That is school boy. Aleem Dar is having as much fun as Steve Bucknor.

A back foot no ball! This match has everything.

England can`t afford to leak even 10-15 runs here.Its all about pressure.A brief relief from the pressure would mean a shift in momentum.
It seems Monty bowled 10+ no-balls and it went unnoticed by Dar.Could get interesting if it comes down to single figures and SA lose it. Aleem finally notices it!

My mind goes back to something Nasser Hussain during commentary in the Egbaston test of 2005.
One umpiring error,a dropped catch or a great piece of fielding could change this game.We`ve already had the umpiring error here(in fact many) and a fielding error by Bell!

I really want to see a result today.Can`t see it happening though.

This is going to be one hell of a close game.

1 more wicket and I think we have it, but, at the moment, I still think we can, but, we need another wicket for sure.

 

[Skater]

This is officially South Africa's game now. We need them to need 99 with 3 wickets in hand.

 

[angryangy]

With Smith entrenched, it's very much South Africa's to lose.
