    How about a backwards 'ton' in Alan Knott?

  3. SA 259-4

    Gulbadin Naib back into the attack.

    He sits one up nicely for David Miller and the South African batter swats him away for four through mid-wicket.

    You do feel like with David Miller at the crease, things could get exciting.

    Two England cricketers called Tony for a start - Tony Lewis and Tony Greig. Tony Lock misses out with a highest Test score of 89.

  6. SA 251-4

    David Miller time.

    The big-hitting veteran gets off the mark immediately with a single to square leg, and Markram brings up South Africa's 250 with two down the ground.

    It just shows what happens when you keep the stumps in play. Yes Rassie van der Dussen was trying to get a move on but playing the stump gives you the chance for all dismissals.

    That was a decent bit of bowling from Noor Ahmad.

    WICKET

    Van der Dussen c Hashmatullah b Noor 52 (SA 248-4)

    Thick outside edge!

    Another South African wicket falls just after a batter reaches a landmark, as Van der Dussen skews Noor Ahmad's delivery out to Hashmatullah at backward point while attempting a big mow over mid-wicket.

    A first wicket today for Noor, who's not had the best of afternoons.

    Rashid Khan hasn't bowled badly today, there's just nothing in this surface for him.

    It's been weirdly dominant from South Africa, without anything really exciting.

  12. SA 245-3

    Rashid Khan finishes his spell with two scoreless deliveries.

    He has figures of 0-59 from his 10 overs today.

  13. 50 runs

    50 for Rassie van der Dussen

    50 up with a six!

    Rassie van der Dussen sends Rashid Khan over mid-wicket again, bringing up his half century from 41 deliveries.

    Noor Ahmad has had three good deliveries, everything other than that has been poor. He's not doing what his team needs him to.

    South Africa can keep swinging at him.

  15. SA 238-3

    Van der Dussen sweeps Noor Ahmad away for four through fine leg between a pair of twos, moving to 44.

    The Afghanistan spinner finishes his sixth over with three dot balls.

    SA 230-3

    A first boundary in 50 balls for South Africa as Aiden Markram edges Rashid Khan past backward point for four.

    Van der Dussen then goes one better, lashing the penultimate delivery of the over through mid-wicket for six.

    This is a little bit of a strange phase here from South Africa, just cruising. They need to be careful that they don't lose their heads. They could easily get over 300, if they don't settle.

    Meanwhile if Afghanistan keep their bowling and fielding tight like this, they've got a chance of limiting South Africa's score to a reachable total.

    It's been a good little squeeze. They've slowed things down and kept their bowling in check.

  19. SA 218-3

    Back comes Noor Ahmad, and this over goes better for him - just two singles from it.

    He almost bowls Aiden Markram too, a delivery that turned hard off the pitch just missing the off stump.

  20. SA 216-3

    Incidentally, if you can think of any surnames that feature ton synonyms then I'll take them as well.

    There's probably a couple of Victorian-era cricketers out there called Kingsley Centurymaker and Bob Burley Hundredon.

    Meanwhile Rassie van der Dussen adds another three off the final ball of Rashid Khan's over, with good work done at long-on to save the boundary.
