By the close of play South Africa, who had been set a preposterously large target of 492 for victory, were ailing at 117 for four. England set South Africa target of 492 runs to win third Test – live! There the pitches habitually offer minimal assistance to bowlers, which is often the case in Test match cricket. There will be those who, if England win the match, spout the mantra “never change a winning team”. England winning at The Oval should not decide whether Jennings is retained for the Old Trafford Test.
