Amla & Faf scored 170's each to guide South Africa to 568/5 & then Amla took a shocking decision to declare the innings in a no time limit match, with Rilee Rossouw playing just 7 runs short of 100. Proteas were in a position they could reach 700, but they declared the Innings. Will the gamble work or is it the start of choking ?
 
Well played... Amla and Du Plessis played aggressively, but also build partnership carefully... i don't think innings declare comes at wrong time, we have better bowling attack compare to england... Even in good batting pitch like this, we can restrict them below 500...

Root's ton helped England to reach a respectable total.

@Baahubali @Raghu @Cyclops11 @UK768


 
My prediction are spot on... we bowled as planed... root is in good form, so it takes times to get him out... but there is some lower-order partnerships, which we may end sooner... it's ok, we got little lead from 1st innings... let's put huge target, which England can't able reach...

AB & Faf both got out on 97, but their innings aids South Africa to set a huge target of 559 for England.

@Raghu @Baahubali @Cyclops11 @UK768
 
Good batting, but our bowlers failed to control run flow.

What will happen if match is drawn @Aravind.

This great finale has already gone past 6 days(due to no time limit rule). Final innings will be posted tonight along with closing ceremony.
