    Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    "South Africa have just got to give themselves every opportunity to go on and get 10 wickets. Giving yourself 120 overs to do it should be enough. That would leave about 40 overs more to bat, and a score of about 365 will be more than enough than anyone's got in the game. If you can get there sooner, pull in and have a bowl."

    It's taken us a little while, but we've managed to dig out a wagon wheel of AB de Villiers' knock today.

    And his effort in the first innings.

    And what he managed in the second innings at Johannesburg.

    "Goodness gracious," says Jo Konta, who goes on to thank the crowd for their support. 

    "I think it was mentally, emotionally, physically, I left it all out here on court. I ran after every single ball and fought for every single point. 

    "It's really about keeping on moving and keeping your mind as quiet as possible, the less thoughts the better."

    It was the perfect weekend for Leicester City and their supporters.

    It started with a strong performance in a 3-0 win over Stoke where Jamie Vardy was back amongst the goals, Riyad Mahrez showed his immense skill and talent and N'Golo Kante ran, and ran, and ran, and ran.

    Everyone in Leicestershire was then hoping Chelsea would do them a favour against Arsenal. It happened and the Foxes are three points clear at the top of the Premier League going into February. Yes, February.

    A new striker is being sought by Claudio Ranieri and, with the next three games against Liverpool, then Manchester City and Arsenal, the coming weeks could be pivotal for their title challenge and qualification for the Champions League.

    What a thriller Norwich v Liverpool turned out to be on Saturday. A 5-4 win for the Reds, ridiculous celebrations at the end, a manager breaking his glasses. Brilliant stuff.
