Cook's England need only six wickets to defeat world number ones South Africa in the first Test in Durban.
Set a fanciful 416 for victory, the Proteas have slipped to 136-4. Steven Finn has three wickets, Ben Stokes one.
AB de Villiers, reprieved of being stumped by Jonny Bairstow, remains on 37 and seems to be the only obstacle between England and glory.

There was a welcome drawn Test in India (a good result, sealed series victory), a stalemate in New Zealand, a horror show in Australia, a lone win in the West Indies and a battling defeat by Pakistan in the UAE.
Three years. 15 Tests. One win.

That might be hosted by Sandi Toksvig too.
