  Brook run out, he wanted a second run but Smith, rightly I think, sent him back; there never looked to be a second run. 81-3.

  Smith goes for 54, 102-4, not looking good.

  New boy Baker goes first ball, 131 all out inside 25 overs. Dreadful.

  Root almost takes a catch at slip, but it is judged (rightly imo) to have just bounced beforehand.

  And frustratingly, Archer has an lbw decision not given, and not reviewed, next ball when it would have been out.

  Bethell takes a wicket, but he's been very expensive. 297-6.

  So, the solution for England to win is for me not to post about them until after the game is over; they've just won by 342 runs, having posted 414-5 (including a maiden professional century for Bethell and another one for Root) and then proceeding to bowl South Africa out for just 72.

  What an extraordinary turn round from the thrashing we got in the first match!
