Dean Elgar always appears to be the only SA batsman that knows how to bat with the conditions. This pitch has 400 plus on it batting first yet SA find themselves struggling once again.

The pitch is showing wear already so why do SA play three quick bowlers? Surely somebody in the SA camp can read a pitch prior to the toss. This match won’t get to lunch on the 4th day

And two of the under pressure batsmen run themselves out...almost like they don't want to be there...

The number one rule in Test cricket is, never run yourself out. SA lacking a genuine all rounder. Yet another wicket thrown away when well set on 35

220 all out on that pitch is a pitiful score. Pakistan will double it at least.

About half of what you suggested is a decent score...going to spend a lot of time in the field unless we get 2 them down today...18 overs to bowl...

Talk about getting it wrong, but SA must get Ali and Rizwan as those two are class acts.

Poor, poor captaincy and total lack of authority from de Kock getting himself talked into taking the review when he himself indicated to the bowler that the ball was missing leg, no reviews left and they are 5 down.

Pakistan getting to the 400 you spoke of...the Pakistan players are playing without fear whilst the South African players are trying to stay in the team...shows in the performances...

This a a career defining inning by Markram. No matter how many runs he scores from now on in in this match he will be a batsman to watch. His 59 so far has been one of the best fighting knocks that I have seen for a while.
