Elgar's end sums up South Africa's fate as England win looms

On another rollercoaster day, the South Africa skipper not taking the review after being adjudged LBW could be the final turning point of the Test and series

Santhosh Kumar: "England are trying to end this quickly."

AMITESH: Keegan looked so promising against India earlier this year. Sad to see him not scoring as per expectations against England.

Samuel: "Once again SA relying on their bowlers to bail them out."

Sarth Shah: Might be the last innings we see Broad and Anderson bowling together but then we think that after every series. Two absolute legends of this format! 'They could be around for next year's Ashes'

Badhri: Why don't ICC change the rules so that third umpire checks Hawk Eye when umpire gives out, regardless of whether there was a review or not? This will help such howlers when teams do not want waste a review. Had it been done, Elgar would have remained not out. 'Elgar himself was convinced, walked even before being given out'

Cricket in Transition: The rise of the 'open' relationship

As cricket undergoes seismic changes, the way its players are thinking about and designing their careers is changing rapidly. But is this really the doomsday scenario that many are making it out to be?

South Africa's Mandela moment reversed

England had something bigger than each other to play for at the Oval on Saturday, the first day of actual play in the third Test

Murali: It is a shame that Marco Jansen could not get to play the second test match. He would have made a big difference.

Murali: Jansen already proving why his non-selection in the previous match was a poor decision.

Younus: "Considering only 3 days for this Test match, England will go with the same Bazball theory in first innings to get a result in this decider."

Mustafa Moudi: Blue Vs Green are all becoming low scoring thrillers this week - Pak Vs Afg, Pak Vs SL (Yesterday) and now this. Though this is a Test, the name and jersey number are still in colors (Thanks to WTC) !!

Amaan: This South African batting order is too vulnerable and the only way they can win this match is by their bowling.

Along came a spider to explain why bowlers make batters look good

South Africa's bowling coach breaks down his instructions to a young attack

Saurabh: "If entire 1st day's play is washed out then technically it will be a 4-day game. So follow on lead will be 150 right?" -- Yes!

Sharath J: "This is the worst feeling for a Test Cricket Fan: Thinking about this Test match for over 10 days, taking a day off from work on match day and it rains just before the start time."
