Right, Sky are heading off to The Hundred. So that’s my cue to wrap up as well. Thanks for your company. Looking forward to seeing how England bounce back from this when we do it all again next Thursday at Old Trafford. Have nice weekends!
Nortje just did a quick spot on Sky as well. Very happy lad, talked a lot about his rhythm bringing higher speeds. I’m looking forward to the full statistical breakdown of just how quickly he bowled today. This is a nice taste of that.
Anrich Nortje's average speed of 149kph (92mph) in the 25th over of this innings is the quickest over England have faced at home in the past decade in Test cricket. #ENGvSA
