Re: ENG vs. SAF 1st Test at Lord's Thursday 10th. July

End of day 3:

England 593/8d
South Africa 247 & 13/0 (4.0 ov)

Ian Bell out on 199 and Eng declare at 593. From SA only Prince hit 101 others couldn't even cross 50, Monty gets 4-74, resulting in SA follow on.

A terrific day for English bowlers... They really dominated throughout the day , apart from Ashwell Prince 's 101. which wasnt simply enough

South Africa trail by 333 runs with 10 wickets remaining

Openers shutting England out. Smith gets a century.

Re: ENG vs. SAF 1st Test at Lord's Thursday 10th. July

SA 2nd innings: 242/1 (Stumps - Day 4) - 104 runs the deficit.

Very well played South Africa. The English commentators (Mark Nicholas, Geof' Boycott) were like flat wicket! flat wicket! but you still gotta put bat to ball so hats off to Smith & McKenzie for suring gr8 mettle and grinding the runs. They can force a draw here.

Re: ENG vs. SAF 1st Test at Lord's Thursday 10th. July

so it will be a draw ?
wat do you guyz think ?

If SA don't lose too many wickets before lunch than then it will be a draw.

SA 312/1

McKenzie 131 not out
Amla 57 not out

Heading for a draw.

SA 372/3 at tea, 26 runs ahead

Amla 88 not out

Minimum of 29 overs left

Hasim Amla 104 not out.

Definete draw.

Match drawn.

Good performance by South Africans in the 2nd innings to save the match.
