LONDON — England will have to make history to win the third test and retain its No. 1 ranking after being set a daunting target of 346 with just over three sessions left in the series.
South Africa was bowled out for 351 on the fourth day at Lord’s, meaning England will have to surpass its highest successful run chase of 332 to level the three-match series at 1-1 and stay on top of the ICC test rankings. That was achieved in in 1928 against Australia
Steven Finn took 4-74 to revive England’s hopes, after Hashim Amla’s elegant 121 had threatened to bat the hosts out of contention.
Amla scored his 16th test century from 205 balls with 10 fours before he was bowled by Finn, but Vernon Philander hit 35 and South Africa’s last three wickets brought 69 runs.
