Josh Nagil: The Hashim/Moeen song at the South Africa v England game is infinitely better than the Kolo/Yaya song.
Phil: Someone please stop that Hashim Amla song.

Can you help?

Can I start a campaign here and now to get people to wear ginger wigs at work tomorrow, in tribute to Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow. If you send in your pictures, we'll try and use some in the live text tomorrow.
Hashim Amla, it has to be said, looks in superb form. He's leaving well outside off stump and defending with a steely determination.
As skipper of the side, this match carries even great significance. Maiden over for James Anderson.

"I'm feeling a little drained from having to give England so many compliments. The South African batting unit is not going to get a better chance to find form. It's a big afternoon for AB de Villiers."

Steven Finn is hanging the ball outside off stump waiting for a mistake, which he almost induces when AB goes fishing. The batsman responds by driving a full ball back down the ground for four. Shot!

"That was as straightforward a catch as you're going to get at second slip, his hands got in the wrong position."

What a chance! AB de Villiers edges James Anderson to Joe Root at second slip and the grabber spills it. It was a bit of a Ronnie Rosenthal (a sitter), and runs away for four.
As for Anderson, he's furious and aims a sledge in the direction of the batsman who wisely just smiles and nods.
AB, I should add, always strikes me as a nice, laid-back fella.

Stuart Broad stands with his hands on his hips and blows bubbles from his gum. He'll be desperate to get a crack at AB de Villiers, who he's dismissed more than any other bowler in the world. For now, though, Steven Finn has the cherry in his hand. And I think he's got rid of Hashim Amla via a bottom edge which, bizarrely, England barely appealed for. If it was an edge, it was a tickle. But I think it was out.
This is interesting...
Here comes Steven Finn...

"I don't think Ben Stokes' day is done yet. You would think that the skipper will be thinking, just give him three or four overs at the end to make something happen. I wouldn't bet against Stokes having more of a say - as if he hadn't had enough already."
AB de Villiers, like Ben Stokes, is more known for his big hitting. But he's also a master craftsman as he shows when he stands on his tiptoes and rides the bounces to ease James Anderson through the covers for three. For my money, the best batsman in the world if we take into account all formats.
Closely followed by Kane Williamson, Steve Smith and Joe Root.

Butlins McCarthy: Stokes taking a wicket, about time he made a contribution to this game.
Shannon McKee: I'll take full responsibility for that wicket, after just declaring on #bbccricket that Elgar was going nowhere! you're all Welcome!
Shannon is right - we checked!
It's unlikely we'll see an innings like Ben Stokes' again for a while, but if anyone can replicate it... AB de Villiers can.
England know that if they can get rid of AB or Hashim Amla now, they are well on top. The latter has different ideas though as he caresses Stuart Broad to the cover boundary. Sublime placement.
Drinks, all.
