What a bloody day that was. 140/0 at lunch. 329 all out at stumps. A few Proteas will have trouble getting to sleep tonight.

Third time in the series Bavuma has fallen to off-spin.

He's thrown away a Test hundred.

That's some nifty batting by Ackerman to get a first Test 50. My guess is Aiden said "well done and if you get out, I'm gonna moer you." #GottaGoBig

Except if you're Steve Smith. Some taping on the left side of his neck. He's out and Inglis will start Looks like Lyon for Boland, and Green and Connolly in with Renshaw to open.

Bavuma’s nine-hour masterpiece was art we risk losing in South Africa’s Test purge | Barney Ronay

T20 franchise cricket is trash sport and killing the red-ball game is cultural vandalism. What would George Orwell have made of this?

110/6 and to still win by an innings is a hell of an effort. Cape Town's going to be tasty....

Guimarães is not a Champions League player - against this level of opponent (yet). Poor selection by Arteta. MLS should have started this game.
