64/6 now. Should be all over tonight. Some really poor batting from South Africa in the second innings.

Poll: Tory leader

The wicket has deteriorated dramatically.If it was anywhere but Lords,it would be deemed unaccceptable.

Poll: Has the Europa Cup been worth entering this year?

I doubt it, it's the fourth day of a test match. It's supposed to deteriorate. South Africa have mostly been the architects of their own demise this afternoon.

Not to the extent this one has.

Disagree. Hardly any of this afternoon's wickets have been down to the pitch. It's hardly a crumbling mess.

All over! Anderson and Broad must be delighted to have an extra days rest.
Good start for Joe Root's captaincy. Hats off to Ali

Uneven bounce and a lot of turn. 19 wickets in two and a half sessions on day 4...

Still prefer it to a shirtfront but that wasn't quite a five day wicket.

Good word there "shirtfront"

It was a "Bunsen"

How many of those 19 can be directly attributed to the state of the pitch? Especially in the Saffers' second innings.

Poor batting from S.Africa.

Shame about Wood getting a cameo think it could have been a superb little run chase.

The pitch was fine, it was turning but that's what should happen. The problem is for too long pitches have benefited the batsmen too much.

Boring seeing flat track bullies, far better to see a century that was genuinely earned.

Peace

Difficult to say - once you get it into your head that it can turn sharply and/or keep low you bat differently.
A couple of balls in the first over went through to the keeper on the third bounce.

That was a day 5 wicket not a day 4.
