We're a couple of minutes away from the resumption. Not much time for the players to digest lunch. Don't they say that you shouldn't exercise for two hours after you've eaten..?

Gabriel Fox in Cambs: My mother could see off a bear using a stick of rhubarb. No, really. Rhubarb contains oxalate which is toxic to bears. Last July a bear broke into a bakery in Colorado and ate 24 pies, leaving only one – which contained rhubarb. I wonder if bears are frightened of rolling pins and pinnies? 

Thanks Stephan. I am fond of a nice cagool, I must admit, but my experience of bears fits on the back of a postage stamp.

Right, I'm off for a little while. Justin Goulding, an experienced outdoorsman, is here to guide you through the post-lunch session. Hopefully there's lots more bear chat...

Paul Hallett: A job I had whilst travelling was delivering leaflets East of Vancouver and you’d encounter lots of bears going through trash bins etc. Brown bears would move away from you, black bears would be the ones who came after you. Confusingly, some black bears are actually a little bit brown.

Best advice? Don’t get jobs where there are bears.

In other news, Australia have pulled out of the Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh starting on 27 January because of safety concerns.

The Australia senior team withdrew from their tour of the country in October 2015, and Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland said advice from the Australian government suggests the security threat to Australians, external travelling to Bangladesh remains as high now".

The International Cricket Council has invited Ireland, runners-up in the qualifying tournament, to replace Australia in the 16-team competition.

Benjamin Copp: England have been punished for not taking chances but imagine if you dropped Dhanawade early in his innings, "sorry lads"

BBC Test Match Special

More from Rahul Tandon: "There was an attack on an army base in the news but you also had constant updates on this kid and whether he was going to go past 1,000 runs. This is a country obsessed with cricket records.

"Pranav comes from a very poor humble background but now he is going to have his education funded."

BBC journalist Rahul Tandon: "The captain declared when he was on 1,009. Why didn't he let him get to 1,500?! This kid was playing in a Mumbai Cricket Association match that started on Monday and he was 652 overnight.

"Whenever we have a kid doing something special there is only one name that comes up. India is crying out for a new Tendulkar and today everyone is asking if Pranav is the new Sachin Tendulkar."

Have you noticed those bowling figures? One poor lad went for 142 from six overs.

Here's the scorecard from Pranav Dhanawade's record-breaking knock of 1009 not out.

Look away now if you're a member of the bowlers' union...

Geoffrey Boycott
Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

"I wish Alastair Cook had told Ben Stokes to get to 300 - you don't get many chances in your career where everything is going right like that. I never scored a 300.

"I don't know if Stokes would've broken Brian Lara's record but it was so easy for him that day it was silly."

Michael Glasper: In the time it took for Dhanawade to get his 1009 not out, Sir Geoffrey would just be getting in.

Neil Burton: I hope the 1009 not out headline doesn't scare too many people this morning. Amla looks like he'll be there long enough.

Don't forget that TMS is discussing the remarkable story of the Indian schoolboy who plundered 1009 in a single innings. I wonder if they've got the bowling figures...

"Tremendous resistance from South Africa, doing their absolute best to save this game and I think they are 75% of the way there now."

That's more than enough for the morning session, which again belongs to South Africa and their captain Hashim Amla. His double century is going so far to saving this game from the Proteas.

Apart from that, has much happened? Well England have bowled 30 overs, which is a bonus. And we've had some excellent chat about bears...

Andrew Samson
BBC Test Match Special statistician

"It's Amla's fourth double century, the second most by a South African behind Graeme Smith on five. It took 682 minutes, the third slowest in Test cricket history, behind Brendon Kuruppu and Gary Kirsten."

Probably only one more over before lunch now...

"I wonder if there has been quite as important an innings in Hashim Amla's brilliant career. He was under so much pressure coming into this Test and has responded magnificently. Both personally and collectively he's halted the slide."
