Over-by-over report: Join our writers as the delayed third Test gets under way at the Oval
All the talk of a Test lasting only three days but that now looks surplus to requirements. Robinson is on fire. What a bowler he is, by the way. Tall, lithe, strong and with a great wrist means he’s a nightmare to face. Petersen whacked a drive through a vacant point for four but then lost his off stump when he shouldered arms to one he should have played. The new man is Zondo who is taking guard in a Test for the first time. He gets off the mark immediately with a little bunt into the off side.

Really good outside Rickelton’s off stump and it whizzes past the outside edge. Rickelton doesn’t get very far forward which is what you want to do when the ball is moving. A single for each batter keeps the scoreboard ticking but it’s all England right now. You sense there’s a wicket lurking in every over.
The way these two bowl with the new ball, we might need a nickname for them. Good thing John Starbuck is in touch:
