Strong comeback by England within the collection. Stokes led from the entrance with each bat and ball, Foakes was sensible too. And Anderson what a champion! 950 worldwide wickets for a pacer ? SA will rue electing to bat first. #ENGvSA

James Anderson is the primary quick bowler to take 100 wickets towards three completely different groups in males’s Tests
Muttiah Muralitharan: 104 v SA, 105 v IND, 112 v ENG
Shane Warne: 103 v NZ, 130 v SA, 195 v ENG
JAMES ANDERSON: 100 v SA, 112 v AUS, 139 v IND#ENGvSA #bbccricket— Mark Puttick (@GryllidaeC) August 27, 2022
WELL PLAYED Eng ??????? ?? Sadly as soon as @OfficialCSA had modified their crew choice & chosen 2 entrance line spinners, they principally had little alternative than to bat first. Personally I’d not have modified a profitable crew, with if wanted Elgar & Markram to bowl just a few. BIG third TEST! #ENGvSA pic.twitter.com/TksblWRQ1G

Ben Stokes is correct up there with the most effective “steppers” out of the crease towards spin in world cricket right now. Maybe even the most effective #ENGvSA

Have already watched about 10 replays of that brute of a ball from Stokes. Happy to watch it not less than 586 extra instances. #ENGvSA
