England v South Africa - 3rd Investec Test: Day Four

It is almost every cricketer’s dream to play at the home of cricket, Lords. The list of centurions at Lords displays names of some of the game’s legends. The grounds in England are traditional, unlike other grounds in the world, they do not have short boundaries. This leaves open the possibility of running threes when the ball goes in the outfield.
