Lrrr

Looks like Westley is getting the nod with Malan also called up incase they want to play an extra batsman, Dawson retains his place in the squad despite being largely unspectacular.

Talk of Stoneman, Westley or Malan replacing him. I'd go Malan personally, may only have been T20 but showed he had the ability at an international level.

In the scheme of things yes, given that if you finish a few places apart you're potentially starting to look at hundreds of thousands of pounds difference in winnings for league position, maybe getting towards millions.

I played cricket from the age of 8 till last year so big fan of it myself, but I'd still stand by saying each test match, odi, t20 match matters less/has less riding on it than an individual football match. Obviously when you get to series deciders they do but until then? Not so sure.

It still hasn't started

End of the day for cricket there is no league that overly matters, yes there are rankings and bragging rights winning a series, but how much does winning/losing a series matter? It's generally 'oh well onto the next one', whereas Football a lot more rides on each game.

While you can understand CA's viewpoint they're shooting themselves in the foot at this point.

Fair enough I just went off the scorecard

Tbf they were only 3 overs short of what they should have been in the end, considering they were 5 behind at lunch.

Just seen South Africa only got through 25 overs in the first session, already dragging a bit

It was half a seam from being inline, in the split second Jennings had to react to the ball its very hard for him to know that its pitched half a seam outside the line, all the ball had to do with be a fraction further over and hit the stump by the smallest amount and he'd have stayed out. Blame if anything lies with Ballance as he should have given him the biggest indication.

Handy bowler that Craig Overton fella

Gary Ballance, the new Shane Watson ****ing awful decision to review.

Difficult call about that Jennings decision, with the fact he's been given out the ball only has to flick the stump for it to stay out, so I don't think you can really blame Jennings for not reviewing it. If it had clipped fractionally he'd probably have got done for wasting a review instead.

Well, Somerset going for it at least, target of 337 to win by the looks of it

Is this the most lefties in an England batting line up....?

Good toss to win by the looks of it

Newer matches when they start appear at the top of the live scores, so need to scroll down for somerset

What like this? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/scorecard/ECKO41281

Big effort from Kent and Dickson this...

Would such a (Gary) Pratt thing to do

BBC have listed everything as tea, so much suspense to see what the next break is called.

Lots of wickets falling (apart from in the Somerset game....) who'd have seen that coming... maybe anyone whose actually ever used a pink ball, they swing ridiculous amounts.

Didn't realise Ian Blackwell was now an umpire
