    Right, that's it at the end of a historic day for South African cricket.

    Maybe not a big day in the context of the match, but certainly huge for Temba Bavuma and the Proteas.

    Can they push for victory tomorrow? Or will England repel the charge? Join us to find out.

  2. 'We'll rue those missed chances'published at 16:33

    England assistant coach Paul Farbrace on Sky Sports: "The bowlers have worked incredibly hard - to be out there for 200 overs...

    "We've done pretty well and created chances on a flat pitch. But obviously we're disappointed we've missed chances. We'll rue them."

    Rachel T: Excellent. England have been in the lead for the entire Test so far.

    More from South Africa's Temba Bavuma, who made 102 not out, on being padded up for 70 overs: "That was tough. I slept for some of those hours.

    "Pressure is always there. As a young guy there is always pressure. I just tried to keep calm and use my opportunity. I want to make a mark on international level."

    On the sledging from England's bowlers: "It was words of encouragement, if I could put in politely. It was almost like being back at school cricket with guys going hard at me for being small. But it enabled me to knuckle down and concentrate a bit harder."

    "England just have to bat sensibly. There is the opportunity now Amla has declared for the early batsmen to get a hundred and then they would go to Jo'burg with wonderful confidence. We know Cook is a big hundred man. Hales will be thinking he can get his first one."

  6. 'It's a special moment'published at 16:24 Greenwich Mean Time 5 January 2016

    South Africa's Temba Bavuma, who became the first black African to score a Test century for South Africa, on Sky Sports: "It's a moment of cherish forever, especially here at Newlands, my favourite ground.

    "I can't tell you what was going through my mind but there was a lot of emotion and relief. I've been wanting to cross that first Test hundred off.

    "It's a special moment for my family too - they flew in from their holiday to be here in time."

    "All the confidence came back to South Africa cricket this afternoon. They have been down but Bavuma has done wonders for South African cricket. They have had bowlers who have been black - Ntini was a wonderful bowler - but I think it's better a player is picked on ability and Bavuma has proved he has talent."

    Bavuma's century was a wonderful moment, a lot of emotion from the man himself, the Newlands crowd and his parents watching on.

    Soon after, South Africa declared, but the late wickets they were looking for didn't come.

    Tattz: If England had opened with Barstow and Stokes, we'd have a 150-run lead by now.

    "If England had caught most of those chances they would have won the match. As a coach, sometimes say nothing. They're not bad catchers but they've had a bad day at the office - a really bad day. It's madness. You can't understand why; the players don't know why. It's best not to dwell on it. Move on."

    It seemed like England would never part Amla - who moved to an 11-hour 200 - and Faf du Plessis, until three wickets fell for 10 runs. Bang, bang, bang.

    Mop up the tail? Not with the obstacle of Temba Bavuma  and some very dodgy catching.

    "It was a wonderful day for South Africa. Yesterday was slow - they were grinding out runs and trying to make sure they didn't lose - but today was different. By the middle of the day everyone was cheering South Africa and Bavuma put the icing on the cake."

    A thrilling day? Not really, but memorable for a couple of reasons.

    Hashim Amla's redemption, England's drops and Temba Bavuma's little bit of history.

    "Sometimes when you draw you think who has got the better of the draw. The way South Africa have fought back, with all their engine room back in the runs, it should serve them well going into the rest of the series."

    England get to the close unscathed. We might not have moved any nearer to a result, but it's been special for Temba Bavuma and South Africa cricket.

    As for tomorrow, the Proteas will hope that a couple of wickets can put the wind up the tourists.

    A veteran move from the rookie Hales. A cheeky single on the leg side. "You face the last two balls, skipper..."

    Charlie Watson: For my birthday last year, I organised a Monopoly pub crawl, which involved having an alcoholic drink in a pub at each of the 26 named properties on the Monopoly board. We started at Old Kent Road at 10am and finished the 26th drink at Bond Street at half past midnight – 14.5 hours later!

    Morkel gets his knees high as he pumps in towards Cook, the speedo pushing 90, the keeper's gloves getting battered. We have our answer to the nightwatchman question. Steven Finn is padded up, waiting with his helmet on. That is a rough gig, having to sleep on the square after bowling 39 overs.
