Saffers haven't surrendered to the thought of a green demon and are very positive. I like that - we can't do it

17 - 1 off 8

Yes, please. I have succumbed to Spark Sport and spent some money.

Southee burns a review. Does he ever get one right?

No shot offered and not out decision reviewed. Umpires call - Saffers will have to go back to being positive I feel

Very strange review. It looked a decent sized edge with bat well away from anything else.

Agree. 28 overs; 4 for 44 is a great effort.

Set my alarm for 4am and wake up to this. Good stuff. Serves our rubbish selectors and administrators right. Good thing we selected a spinner.

The only thing that could make it worse would be for the traitor Conway to get a double hundred.

Fantastic effort by Henry.

Is Boult unavailable for both tests or just this one? If he is available I really hope they give Henry another crack and look elsewhere in the team rather than a straight swap.

Just one. Swap Boult for CdGH? If our batters go well here

Popped out for 20 minutes to clear the snow off the driveway and we have another three wickets when I return.

I'll try and stay awake. Keen to see how Stuurman goes. He's quite a skiddy type.

From cricinfo
This is the first time South Africa have been bowled out for below 100 in the first innings of a Test match since... 1932!
