Test : Day Three, Change of Innings.

England were lamentable in the field. As a consequence, they now have a target to chase down of a gargantuan 376 runs to win.
The only upside is that they have over seven sessions to make that total - but giving them a 1% chance of doing it seems a tad generous.
The fielding was below par. There were so many opportunities for run-outs if only accurate throws could have hit the stumps - they didn't!
The pitch was giving assistance to bowling that was well pitched up - so England decided to try short-pitched stuff instead. Undoubtedly, this was designed to confuse the springbok batters - but didn't!
Bowling was well below par. Anderson only took two wickets in the match; Broad bowled poorly at the start of the first innings and was patchy thereafter. Curran was the pick in the first innings but descended to the lowest common denominator in the second.
Archer got a fivefer but was going at an astronomical six an over - fine in limited over matches but unacceptable in tests.

Update. Some excellent batting from Rory Burns in partnership with Sibley and latterly, Denley, saw England through to within 255 runs of their target with nine wickets remaining as they head into Day 4, tomorrow. Sibley perished giving a return catch to Maharajah who is going to be a pain in the proverbial tomorrow to all the England lefthanders.
England's chances of a rather improbable win have probably increased to about 15%.
