South Africa vs England: 2nd Test, Day 2

AB drops the catch and then runs out Stokes. Basically says "you bowlers don't deserve a wicket".

Absolute bonafide Gilchrist batting by Stokes,the way he treats spinners with disdain is just like Gilly! Pick a guy you like, destroy him.

Ben Stokes now has 100+ in this session. Remember he came to the wicket facing a hat trick ball yesterday! pic.twitter.com/zgAoi6tmyp

Stokes' is only the 7th 150+ score by an England batsman at No. 6 or lower in away Tests. Last one was by Mark Ramprakash in 1998. #SAvENG

There's a long gap between second and third Test. Bring back Mike Horn and go climb the Drankensberg or something.

I don't know what's going off out there. World's Gone Mad. I blame T20 for this carnage.

Sensational stuff from Ben Stokes. 105 ball 100. Absolute decimation. Hitting South Africa into submission. Eng taking game away from SA.
