England are 351/5 at close of day 3 ... Morning session will decide if this is an England win or draw.

England 425 all out, a 6 run lead. Unless SA collapse in their inning (an injured Petersen and Smith is cause for concern), it should be a draw
The clouds are rolling in though LTW - The ball is swinging as well. These next 10 mins could be interesting.
But yeah surely this will be a draw.

Ha ha - I've met the trumpet guy a couple of times. He's a top bloke.
Seriously? One session to go and 200+ runs to chase. I'm liking your optimism mate. Great spell from Broad though.
I'd be shocked if England can win this....they can lose this though!
10 wickets in 1 session?? Again no chance.
Draw is still the favorite, but if England can take 7 wickets in one session for 100 odd runs, the S.A attack is just as capable if not more.....that's the reason I say, if they go gung ho trying to chase that, they could end up losing the game.
S.A will easily attack for a while, and if things don't go their way, resort to bowling really wide outside off with a packed offside field....England win is unlikely, unless everybody has a brain-fade!

Well just to be a bit cheeky - I've just put £5 on an England win. They won't get it but fuck it. It's a pint and after all..... You never know. 😉
How? How are you guys seeing England win this?
It's a test match guys...there are no field restrictions. I'll personally pay Smith a visit and laugh in his face, if he loses it from here.
Scoring 250 in a session is near impossible...but 10 wickets in a session has happened a lot more often than you would like to believe.

I wonder if Prior and Pieterson are gonna come out first - Guns blazing! Should be fun to watch! 😀
They have nothing to lose really. If they go cheaply then I guess they retreat back into their shell and get the draw.
I bet your right mate. Shame though it would have been fun.
WOW - should be interesting. I'm not sure why they declared (or why so many stupid shots were played by the top order), but hey, I guess there's enough time for England to tie the series
Ha ha KP out first....😱
A bit streaky that!
