Hopefully we can avoid the follow on.

I'd be surprised if it was enforced. Batting last on this wicket is going to be tough. It's already showing signs of uneven bounce. Also, we were in the field for 100+ overs, so England would look to put us back in and grind us down even further.

A crucial session that is going to be great to watch I think. Hoping for great fighting knocks from our lower order

Lizelle Lee going strong for the ladies in a must win match against India. 62 from 47. India won the toss and put SA in to bat. 89/1 after 14 overs.

Was hoping to see Stokes get Rabada to see what reaction there might have been. :D

Ugh, and now QdK is stuck with the tail. I can understand the logic behind him at 7 (sort of a Gilchrist role) but the difference is that Gilly was usually coming in at 350/5 and with a license. Our middle order is putting QdK under unnecessary pressure right now.

Vern can bat. It was due to the night watchman that QdK came in so late.

Dang, but he is a clean hitter. Lovely 4 that

Yeah, hence I referred to him coming in at 7 (which would usually happen). And I agree with you that Vern is no mug with a bat. But would you put money on him right now sticking with QdK for 20 or 30 overs?
