But it's quite alright for professional women to swoon over a sportsman's appearance and squeeze their biceps etc. Double standards, both are totally harmless and it's absolutely ridiculous to even consider it news worthy on this scale. She was hardly doing some deep digging journalism for the Cook Report.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-35231783- I've found the (over) reaction to this incredibly embarrassing. He only asked her out for a drink for god's sake.

Theres a time and a place for these things, i.e. Just ask her once the interview ends, but apart from that he's a single guy asking a woman to join him for a drink, hardly worthwhile of massive media coverage.

England need to be very careful here - they could lose this game. 23-2 and SA all over them.

Big trouble now 116-6.

Big trouble now 116-6.

Big trouble indeed. What a collapse. Need to somehow survive the session. Ali and Bairstow are in.

C'mon you Saffers! And please let it not rain. Win this, get Steyn back again for the next test and boom. Confidence will be sky high going into the 3rd test

Only England could hit 600+ declared and then be hanging on

Think you can calm down now. 1-0 to the good guys.

We could have won this change in weather came at the wrong time, but will be very confident heading into the 3rd test.

South African captain has resigned!

Nah, we'd have batted it out no problem.

Usually a bit more bounce at Jo'Burg, so here's hoping it isn't another 600 plays 600.

Amla just isn't a captain, which I think even he knows.

[den]

There was plenty of bounce at Cape Town Matty. Plenty of short balls went for four over the keepers head. If there's more bounce than that, they'll be going for sixes.

Day 1 definitely, I was thinking that it was a results wicket, however it seemed to become easy paced as the game went on.

I suppose it just didn't disentegrate as you would hope, and as there was no swing or seam, ended up as a draw.

Though we did drop plenty of catches- ie AB on 8.

We dropped 8 catches.

The ball was lifting off a length on the last day.

Good test cricket wicket.

Catch your catches, win your matches.

[Mattyblue]

Damage was done day 3 with all the drops.

Very patient double ton from Amla too.

[onlyonejackwalker]

Good first day for England. The pitch will suit their attack so we need to polish off the last three quickly tomorrow. Come in England! Be good if Cook can get a big score first innings.

[onlyonejackwalker]

160 + for 4 at tea chasing just over 300.

Cook and Hayes both failed again. Root and Stokes leading the fight back.

Important final session. Don't lose it here England!!!

SOUTH AFRICA 46 FOR 7!!!!

Absolute dynamite. Broad 5 for 1 in 31. Go on England.

Come on Rovers.

[onlyonejackwalker]

8 down. Be good if Anderson can get a wicket.

[onlyonejackwalker]

Go on Jimmy. 77 for 9.

[Mattyblue]

When Broad has one of his mega spells like that, Test cricket takes some beating, exhilarating stuff.
