England only need 255 runs to win. They have lost only one wicket and have the full day to chase this target which is less than 6 runs an over. Personally I think this achievable, if England does not lose quick wickets.

The target looks acheiavable considering that England have 9 wickets in hand but anything can happen in a match and we all saw how they struggled in the first innings and went on to loose wickets at regular interval and who knows that might not happen again, either way it is a reachable target and hope the England players could somehow win the match, there will be only two outcome in this match, England can defend and loose their wickets or go for the win.

As expected OZ won the match very easily by 247 runs and only thing NZ would be happy is that Blundell made century and played well for 121 runs. With this NZ lost the series as already down by 2-0 in 3 test match . Travis was the player of the match.

At least NZ try to avoid the complete qhitewash by giving some real effort to win the next match which is about to happen between Jan 02 and 06.

On the other match, Can england get another 255 to win the match?Looks easy but let's wait and see.

It is still very difficult to predict and I would give 50/50 chances to both the teams. If the target was in the 300-320 range, then I would have gone with England. But they need 376 to win (255 more with 9 wickets in hand now), and the South African bowlers seems to have regained their form. Today is the fourth day and Keshav Maharaj will be getting a lot of support from the pitch. Also, Vernon Philander picked up 4 wickets during the first innings and he may prove to be a bit tough to handle for the Brits.

England started really well and they are giving a good fight for the South African bowlers, they just lost their first wicket and if they are able to build partnership like these then they have a fighting chance to win the match as Jose Butler has given them some thrilling wins in the past and if they can take the team closer to the target then they have a long batting line up to challenge the South African team, it all depends how the pitch behaves in the last two days.

121/1 ~~and 5 overs left today~~. Early Stump

Tension for SA and big relief for England, considering their first inning misadventure but game is 50-50 now. one more good partnership means home run for England and SA need only 1 good spell.

Tomorrow's morning will be the right time,if they really wanted to win the match or if the ENG batsmen got settled then they will simply take this match away from them.But I still feel the match got 50/50 side for both the team.

They have two days full days no one its enough time for them one opener is already set and he can give them some good stand with other batsmen now need some calm and patience from expereinced players for this historical win very good fightback by them after very poor first inning bowlers also on target now just batting lineup can complete this all.

I believe that it was a good thing that I cashed out my bet on SA early at 1.5x. Considering the current scenario, I believe that ENG now have a chance to win this match.

I was not expecting this from England they are doing very good job against average bowling of South Africa bringing them under pressure if these openers able to stay some more time on crease then surely South African moral will down and England can win this game as they have 2 more days.

Quinton de Kock was the stand out performer for South Africa and considering this as a bowling friendly wicket where the bowlers took 15 wickets in a day you need to give props to Quinton de Kock for his stroke play in scoring 95 runs where the rest of the batsman was struggling

Agreed. I have no idea why they are sending him so late down the order, but he seems to be doing well in any position these days. South Africa could win this one if they give England a lead of +300 since Philander is on fire currently.

Proteas sent tailender Anrich Nortje as Night watchman, just to save De Kock. no teams likes to send regular batsman when few overs left for the Stumps. Agreed they have good chance of winning the first game.

Going to be interesting match as England require another 351 runs and still 10 wickets left . But very much likely that SA will win the match easily as 2 days still left in the games play . If England has slightest of the chance then the top 3 batsman has to big innings.

South Africa have a really huge lead and it is difficult to chase that much score in this pitch but England have the players to chase any score if they are able to built partnerships as there is plenty of time for the match as this is just the third day and the target for England is 376 and they have a session left in the third day and two full days to win the match and it is not that easy as it sounds but it will show the temperament of the English players if they are able to win from this situation.

Wondering with the decision of OZ of not giving NZ the follow on. OZ should have asked NZ to bat again and get them all out quickly as they got in the first innings so this would have made them win by an innings and some runs rather than now by winning by some runs.

This is not always as easy as we think. Australia must have thought this through to not give them a follow-on. Either way, this looks like Australia's game all the way since I am not expecting much from the NZ batsmen currently.

In past also we have seen that if follow on would have given they would have won by innings and few runs, as the bowlers are not that tired as they got them all out quickly else yes OZ would have batted considering if bowlers are tired. Now need to see when OZ will declare and how much runs can NZ make in second innings.

272/10 its second inning total of South Africa now England need exactly 376 for winning in this first test and taking lead in this series for me its mission impossible for them as they have no good batsmen who can stay and give them some hope but still cricket is game of miracles lets watch what happen in next few hours for me England going to lost by 150 to 180 runs.
What you saying guys about this.

New Zealand is struggling and they already lost 6 wickets for 102 runs and they will be forced to follow on and a innings defeat is inevitable looking by the way things are going as Latham is still in the crease even though he got a life when Smith dropped his catch but no one is able to give him the support and for Australia Cummins and Pattinson are bowling really well and how long Latham can survive is to be seen.

New Zealand blasted out for 148, with Cummins taking 5 wickets for 28 runs (17-5-28-5). Only Tom Latham put up some sort of resistance for the Kiwis and the other batsmen surrendered without a fight. However, it was surprising to see Australia batting again, rather than enforcing the follow on. Had they enforced the follow on, then the match would have got completed by today itself (the New Zealand innings lasted just 55 overs).
