SA mainly need to bat time to rest Jansen I think. Then bowl India out tomorrow in the 3rd session.

I wonder if England could learn from SA batting (patience first, attack later), and even India's seemingly more determined application.

I do wonder which is more effective:

Our policy of appeasement? (which does not (or not fully) combat illegal detecting anyway (attached photo of recent example I came across)

Vs. a policy that would require perhaps more enforcement, but also makes the enforcint easier, like the Swiss one.

Still, I represent a minority view and most colleagues are mostly afraid of driving detecting underground and really (and rightly) value the fact that at least there is communication between (parts of) the detecting community and the archaeological field.
