Charlie: "I'm sure others have commented but man it's depressing to see the ground so empty - if Test cricket can't pack in a few punters for a marquee series like this, it doesn't speak well for its health outside England and Aus - what is going on? " -- The weekend was good. Mondays come with their own challenges for the general public

Kannadachi : "The only positive was that David Bedingham didn't take a review with him. "

Hazlewood to Bedingham, OUT, big appeal for lbw and given! Bedingham pushes down the wrong line and that'll its curtains. This was a length ball originating outside off but angling into middle and leg. Bedingham goes across, exposing his leg stump, and the ball hits the outside of his thigh. The leg-stump being visible makes it an even easier decision for umpire Kettleborough. They don't even review. Plumb dismissal and again Bedingham misses out on a half-century

Sriraj: "If the light is holding up well & we get more overs than previous days, South Africa could even push for a win towards the final session! Pitch is looking good with the old ball" -- won't that make for a cracking fifth day
