Archer in doubt

Bit of internal friction in the 1st test from the poms, mainly Stokes and Broad, cant be good for moral.

Dry deck apparently. Somerset spinner Dom Bess likely to play ahead of Jack Leach. If Archer is fit looks like they will drop either Broad or Anderson

Archer took 4 wickets but went at 6 an over in the 2nd innings.

Needs to tighten up a lot.

Burns out of tour...

Stumps Day 1

Poms in trouble I think, a good batting deck

England 2/212 second time around, lead by 258

 

[TheParraboy]

Shaping up as a great test match

Poms 4/218, 264 ahead
Dom Sibly 85no

2 days remain

 

[Fangs]

Stokes going bonkers until that.

Not the first time he has done it at Capetown either. 258 at the same ground in 2016.

 

[TheParraboy]

Poms well on top - lead by 361 - 5 wks left

Stokes 72 from 46
Sibley 107no

 

[jargan83]

Decent enough start for the Saffers - 1/83 chasing an unlikely 438 to win

 

[Mr Angry]

FTR I hope RSA keep playing in thier summer...

Maybe people will start showing up.

We never need them at the MCG on boxing day.

I am happy they are playing a Northern hemisphere team.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Double.
