South Africa reinforced their grip on the Lord’s Test match by bagging yet another session on Day 3. Having added 37 runs to their overnight total, the visitors secured a handy lead of 161 before Keshav Maharaj struck twice with straight deliveries in the moments leading to Lunch.
Anrich Nortje (28*) scoredthe bulk of the runs for South Africa this morning, taking advantage of the short-ball tactic by England – something that’s proved to be a double-edged sword of late for the hosts. Marco Jansen fell a couple short of his maiden fifty but once again played an able hand as Nortje wielded his willow at the other end to get his side up to 326.
