A glorious summer day greets us here at Newlands with bright
sunshine and a gentle south easterly wind to keep everyone cool
The flags are at half mast in honour of the victims of the tragic
events surrounding the Tsunami and fund raising events abound
On the cricketing front we can expect Dippenaar to be back with
possibly Langeveldt replacing the youthful Steyn

niggle leaving place for Key as the likely replacement

Africa have won the toss and chosen to bat first

Honours just about even after the first session of play on the
first day of this 3rd Test Match of the Series

Yet again honours have been even as the jousting continued in the
final session
Perhaps England will be the happier of the two sides as they
managed to frustrate Dippenaar, and to a lesser extent, Smith out

Giles bowling to 6/3 fields and keeping the ball outside the right
handers legstump
and both Flintoff and Hoggard bowling to 7/2 fields without a fine
leg and both pitching it well outside off

Match State: Lunch - Day 2
Another evenish session although England will once again be the
happier of the two taking 3 wickets while South Africa amassed 90
runs
There is much still to play for here and had one of the wickets
been that of Kallis England would have been on top
There is still plenty of bounce which will continue to trouble the
batsmen
England will hope to remove one of the two remaining batsmen early
and then get into the tail to restrict South Africa to well below
400

Match State: Tea - Day 2
Yet once again the honours were shared although South Africa is
likely to be the happier of the two
Smith always wanted 450 and wont be unhappy that they ended 9 runs
short
England will need to bat sensibly and have the line up to do well
There bowlers where a touch short though and local knowledge is
sure to assist the South African bowlers
There is nothing to suggest that this battle will cease to be as
combatitive as it has been so be sure to join us after Tea as we
continue to bring you live coverage

thoughts as it stands

Match State: Stumps - Day 3
South Africa made England toil for all they were worth and England
in their turn played the rules to the hilt removing 7 overs from
the days play as time was called
Already England would need to make the highest 4th Innings score
to win a match previous best being the 418 by the West Indies vs
Australia
They did their utmost to slow things down bowling defensive lines
and inviting South Africa to make the running
The home side was happy to accumulate but are likely to want to up
the tempo tomorrow with a number of their big hitters still
waiting to be unleashed
Join us tomorrow as we bring you live coverage of a match that is
very much in the favour of South Africa

South Africa firmly in command on this forth day with only two
results really available in this Test match

Match State: Stumps - Day 4
South Africa firmly in control requiring 5 wickets in 90 overs
tomorrow and one has to realistically believe they will do that
The 350 that England require is not the issue which means the only
question is if the 5 remaining batsmen can stay out there for 6
hours
Thorpe certainly is capable and to a lesser extent Jones but
should one of them go early it is likely to be an early finish
With the new ball just 3 overs away South Africa will be the ones
who snuggle up in better with pleasant dreams
Join us tomorrow as we bring you live coverage of the final day in
this Third Test match in the series
