Stokes gets one to keep low on Faf and bowl him off the bottom edge. Vd Dussen currently 93*. Next partnership is the key.

These two need to be there at the close today for SA to have any chance of avoiding defeat. That was an absolute stinker of a delivery to Faf, feck all you can do with those.

And Wood wraps up a 191 run victory and a 3-1 series win, getting Nortje caught behind down the leg side (given after review). 
Wood the clear man of the match, an excellent performances by him and fantastic to see.
Pity he is made of glass, top class performer when fit.

BBC website and some of the papers going big (and to be fair some of this comes from quotes from the England players) that this series win - a series win where they lost one game and were playing arguably the worst South Africa team ever - makes Joe Root an excellent captain and has really put the frighteners up the Australian side ahead of the Ashes. Yet again highlighting why I can't support this mob, even against the Australians.

Exactly. Hopefully the Aussies give them an absolute cunting when the time comes.

I still want them to win but for the reasons you have given they need a serious reality check. If the Aussie fast bowlers are all fit they will get destroyed & the likes of Curran, Woakes & Broad will be ineffectual on those pitches with the Kookaburra ball. Get the feeling that any positive result in the tests against a very poor Sri Lanka will make them believe India are there for the taking. They never learn.
