Draw inevitable on day 4?

Only days ago I suggested that an England skipper wouldn't get away with bowling joke bowlers on day 4, no matter how certain the game was to result in a draw. Well it looks like we'll find out what Strauss thinks of that today - unless things change rapidly, a draw looks inevitable. It will be interesting to see what tactics he employs as he desperately tried to move the game towards a result....

Well he didn't go too "joke" in that Shah may have bowled 2 overs for 19, but he's bowled well in international cricket before. The assumption is that tomorrow's cricket will be dull, dull, dull, but you never know with England if a collapse is just round the corner!

All eyes will be on the SA v Australia game though - a potential thriller....
