Lovely pictures of Bavuma's father show him on the phone, no doubt telling all and sundry what his lad has done. In the background, a lady that I think is his mother is getting a big hug. Looking again at the celebrations, Bavuma almost took himself off his feet with the swoosh of his bat. Makhaya Ntini was there, applauding over the balcony.

"In size Bavuma is a small man but in stature as a cricketer it's a huge step and will do wonders, one hopes, for cricket in this country."

That's it! A maiden Test century for Temba Bavuma, a hugely important one for South African cricket. Bavuma, the first black African specialist batsman to play for the Proteas, edges Steven Finn for four and punches the air. Newlands erupts, his father is on his feet and the crowd sings his name. A wonderful moment.

Manc Vs Food: 14.5 hours. It took The Beatles 12 to record 'Please Please Me'. Ooh the irony.

The Albion Roar: Since SA started their innings, you could have watched the NYD episode of Sherlock nearly 10 times - and still not get it.

How does Bavuma play now? He's in the 90s, facing Joe Root. He squints, looks around the field, then calmly works a single on the leg side to move to 96. Kagiso Rabada hold up his end of the bargain, watching two go past the off stump. Bavuma has the strike, looking for a boundary...

"It has been quite noticeable watching the South Africans in the crowd that they have been starting to enjoy the cricket. Yesterday they were quiet and weren't necessary enjoying it but today they have seen runs coming quickly."

"It was muted celebrations. Morris should be very pleased with his performance. South Africa's tail does look long when Steyn and Morkel are playing, so Morris will have given the selectors quite a little bit of thinking to do for Johannesburg."

Chris Devany: In 14.5 hours I could get to Manchester Airport, stop off in the UAE and be hurtling over the Kalahari towards Cape Town

Ed Henderson-Howat: In 14.5 hours of SA batting you could get so fed up with the cricket you actually start revising for January exams

Temba Bavuma is a small chap, competing with James Taylor for the title of shortest man in the match. He's obviously watched Sachin Tendulkar play. He's compact, quite wristy, but also with a flowing cover drive. Both he and Morris can play the reverse sweep - both belt Moeen for four. Are South Africa putting the foot down? Thoughts of a declaration?

Charlie Watson: Stuart Broad could have bowled his 8-15 spell 9-and-a-bit times.

Allan Flowers: On 1st innings form we could watch Ben Stokes make 670 runs in fourteen and a half hours. 

John Brierly: Pranav Dhanawade would have scored 2,222 runs!

The Barmies sing "stand up if you're 1-0 up". I admire their enthusiasm, I'd be more thinking about having a lie down. Root spears one down the leg side, a wide, which Stuart Broad has to chase to the boundary. Root has not only dropped a catch off Broad, but is now making the pacer run like a man after the bus.

"They'll never get them out! But if you're going to have a bad time, best to get them all out in one go."

Moeen Ali, a man who has already bowled 50 overs, is asked to have another roll. There's no close catchers - probably because they wouldn't catch it. Round the wicket, a lot down the leg side. Bavuma doesn't get bat on many. Didn't Ben Stokes bowl an over of off-breaks in the UAE? Get them out again...

Joe Baker: In this innings you could have listened to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody 157 times

Max Braddick: In the fourteen and a half hours that South Africa have been batting, you could have watched 6 episodes of the Star Wars saga

Imagine how the bowlers must be feeling. They've bowled more than 200 overs and seen 10 catches shelled. That's one every 20 overs. England have made enough chance to take 16 wickets. They'd have been on the way to an innings victory. Has someone replaced their shower gel with butter? Did you ever see that episode of Friends where they played catch for hours on end? This England team is full of Chandlers. He was a dropper.

"Stuart Broad does a lap of the pitch to calm down after that latest dropped catch."

And another goes down! It's Joe Root, that man a short slip. The thing is, it goes so high to him, it would have been better if he was further back. Morris the batsman, Broad again the bowler, thick edge to Root's right. A dive, but tipped around the post. I think that's 10 drops. 10!

Another edge! Bairstow hangs on this time, but it's dropped short. Broad the bowler, Bavuma the batsman. Next to Bairstow is Joe Root, so close at slip that he needs a helmet. Guess what...
