Pakistan's last wicket was I think their highest partnership and their 300 score became competative possibly - we shall see

SA v India - let's bat (SA) and 55 all out ! Lowest score ever against India by anyone

India's reply 153-4 and then in a blink 153 becomes all out ! Madness

SA 2nd innings 62-3 - Dean Elgar only the 2nd batsman ever to be out twice in a day on his last test appearance ! Should be finished tomorrow - the first match lasted less than 3 days

So just the 23 wickets so far at an average of 11.7 (it was 10.4 at HT)

Madness and still playing (last hour, unless there's a collapse and they could enforce an extra hour)

Surely there's an enquiry about the state of the wicket? No way do Test batsmen get such a walloping on what would be considered a normal pitch. I mean you wouldn't expect a Palace Shield game at South Shore CC to record 153-4 becoming 153 all out, that's madness.

Not sure if it's a record but six ducks in one Test innings and six wickets for no runs must be some sort of record.

Not to mention 23 wickets in a day!!

Saw bits of it. An absolute shambles of a wicket which is scandalous for such a high profile international test match, large crowds and a global television audience.
 
And the craziness continues

Resuming on 62-3 SA lose 4 quick wickets but then Superman Aiden Markham smashes the ball for a hundred (20 off one over)

The lead won’t be enough unless they get another 100 - will need a lead of 150 minimum (current,y 50 odd)


Have a good day
 
30 wickets have now fallen midway through day two, that is astonishing and as mentioned if it wasn't for Markham's amazing knock the Test could have been over by lunch on day two 😩

I'm not sure what is the record for the quickest Test but this has to be a contender.

I feel sorry for the people who've bought tickets for days 3,4,5🥴 Or the South African Cricket Board who have to refund them!

I went to Day 2 of a test at Headingley against the West Indies and saw the end of it. Early 2000s?

Gough skittled them out twice.
