Image source, AFP"It was a fantastic catch. It went quick and wide to his right hand. Wonderful bowling. Morne Morkel has deserved that because he has worked Alex Hales over. Hales is a talented player but bowlers will search out off stump. It has caused the demise of Lyth and Robson. Both scored hundreds but when the better, quicker bowlers come, it gets tougher."
Hales c Morris b Morkel 5 (Eng 19-2)
Image source, APWhat a catch! What an unbelievable catch! How has Chris Morris clung on to this? Think Ben Stokes against Australia this summer, and it's just like that. Third slip, diving to his right to snaffle Alex Hales' poke in one hand. Morne Morkel the bowler. It's absolutely brilliant but, more importantly, it's another cause of concern for England. Panic levels rising in the dressing room, pads being strapped on left, right and centre.

This will go down as another boring draw. I haven't watched any of the last two days play as SA has settled to play for a draw. Sport is all about winning, when one side ceases to try to win it becomes irrelevant. How many more are like me and how much longer will the TV companies pay to broadcast Test cricket if fans stop watching? The pitch is unsuitable for Test cricket because it will not produce a result within three days. Indeed, if there were no time limit it would produce a result by one team dying of boredom. The pitch would be great for an ODI or T20 where the draw is not an option but for Test cricket it is rubbish.

We said it feels like a bowling morning and the ball is just doing a little in the air (it's only eight overs old, after all) and nipping off the pitch. A replay of the Cook dismissal showed the skipper looking to the ground, hoping not to catch the eye of the umpire and see the deadly finger. There was no fooling, though. Cook didn't even think of a review.

Bowser: Don't be surprised when England lose this test. Absolutely there to be lost. England being England.

Do not take your eyes off this. Nick Compton first ball. A big lbw shout. Looks close, but has he hit it? South Africa demand a closer inspection...

"It is one of those strangles down the leg side. I've had it on 99 in Trinidad. What a death that is. You think about glancing down to leg and get it a touch too fine. But there are a million ways to get out."
Cook c de Kock b Rabada 8 (Eng 17-1)
Image source, AFPShift yourself just a tiny bit closer to the edge of your seat. A first and early sign that England might yet make this an interesting day. Alastair Cook's slow start to the series continues, with the skipper getting a little tickle down the leg side, willowing Kagiso Rabada through to Quinton de Kock. It's a real strangle, but the scorebook says 'out'. Great start for South Africa.

"It's just a batting day. Somebody in the England team should get a hundred, if not two of them. I didn't understand him declaring. They might as well have batted on to this morning. I bet the South African bowlers are delighted."
Three slips, a gully and a short leg for Hales - lots of company for the right-hander as Morkel hangs the ball outside off stump. The Barmies, creatures of habit, sing Jerusalem, then applaud themselves for having done so. England fans look like they are making up the majority of the crowd - there's not many at Newlands. Oooff, you luck boy, Alex Hales. Nip-backer, inside edge, just missing the stumps.

Image source, Rex FeaturesFaced with the grim prospect of having to work today with only a passing interest in the game remaining. Hopefully Captain Cook can bat himself into form and a Chef ton at some time just before tea would certainly go some way to alleviating the gloom. #headchef.

South Africa have had a team photo in front of Table Mountain. Why wait for the fifth day to do that? Have they had to make sure they can't lose? The fielders move into the middle, with the England batsman then emerging underneath the cloudy sky.

"I don't see anything but a nice day of batting on what is still a belter of a batting pitch."

"I thought South Africa could have stepped on the gas half an hour before they did and declare a bit earlier. But they had to wait for Bavuma to get his milestone. It was a fluent and spirited innings from a young player looking to make his mark on the game."
England batsman Joe Root on Sky Sports: "I think the seamers are a little bit sore, but they are looking forward to us batting all day today.
"It's still a good wicket. We have to bat as if it's the first innings.
"I thought all of the South Africa players played really well, but we stuck at it."

"I spoke to Stuart Broad before play and he said it was the best day for bowling. Fact is, you can play a 10-day Test on this pitch. It hasn't broken up at all. The cracks are very solid and firm. It may swing but South Africa don't have any swing bowlers. The key was for Alastair Cook and Alex Hales to survive overnight. It is a great opportunity for the latter to get his first Test hundred."
