Image source, Getty ImagesOh dear. That is a big wicket for South Africa. England had managed well after lunch, keeping the home attack at bay, but Ben Stokes can't help going on the attack with a sweep shot that he skews deep and high to Morne Morkel at deep midwicket, who knew where the boundary was and stayed in it. You can't relax. Ever.

James Taylor: You know what, I think England can sneak this if they declare at exactly the right time. Another 80 runs pre tea and put em in.

Not one to play second fiddle, the Durham man carves a later ball up and over backward point for four. A calculated, counter-attacking risk from a man who will be seeing the ball like the Death Star.

Woke up in Cardiff on day five of the 2011 England vs Sri Lanka series having sat through days of freezing cold rain and, what felt like, years of batting at the hands of Trott and Cook. With both sides having an innings left to play it had 'draw' written all over it. The BBC live stream even introduced the day with "welcome to the most pointless day in Test history." Then my mate Ed rang and said if we get a wicket in the first two overs we should go over to the ground. We did, and the rest is a remarkable history witnessed by only a handful of people. It transpired later that Ed had put a small bet on an England victory that morning. I think he walked away with over £600...

Back to Chris Morris, who probes away at Taylor, alternating the angle of his delivery but with little impact on the solid wall of the diminutive batsman's defence. He even tries not letting go of one for a dead ball. And since we've recorded that over, everybody featured in it has lost their hair.

"Do South Africa believe they can win from this position? They will just wanting to create some panic in the England dressing room. Realistically, there's only a few more overs left for them to make the telling inroads."
There is still something in this. Stokes drives Morkel down the ground for four but is left grimacing next ball as the big seamer gets one past the bat and into his hip bone. Shrug it off Stokesy. As Apollo Creed's old trainer told Rocky in Russia, "no pain, no pain".

Cheekily asked my manager if he didn't mind me leaving early one day in 2001, as I'd done a little bit of work out of hours previously. Walked up the hill to Headingley, paid £5 to get in and watch Mark Butcher hit a century to beat the Aussies.

Some bowlers make the art look effortless, gliding to the crease and delivering in one fluid motion. Chris Morris is not one of those. He is dangerous, though. He hammers towards the crease for six balls that England see off. I'm pushed for time, so can I sum the over up in a word? No. A sound? Woouueerrrr.
Image source, Rex FeaturesEngland are firmly in soft hands, flat bat mode. No surprise to danger-man Morkel. The big seamer loses his line a couple of times in the over and Taylor capitalises with a couple of flicks through leg that takes England to three figures and the lead to 103. Baby steps.

"South Africa will be thinking if they can get England 100-5. These last three and a half days have been a gentle reminder to England that South Africa have confidence back in their team."

Decided that morning to take all three of my children to the 5th day at Lord's against Bangladesh in 2010. Crowd allowed onto ground at lunch. There is a picture of the crowd in Wisden, you can just make me out with the children in the picture at about deep long on. I still tell people " I was in Wisden once!"

As Steph mentioned earlier, Paul Collingwood is in town on a spur-of-the- moment trip to support Ben Stokes. Is there a bigger compliment for a ginger all-rounder from Durham than a visit from England's original red-headed north-eastern exponent of both trades? Stokes moves to double figures, helped by a flashing drive off new bowler Chris Morris that takes the ball to the wide third-man boundary.
Michael Vaughan
Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special
"I don't think Ben Stokes will ever play in gears one or two, but he might be able to come down to gear three. Just don't gift your wicket away."
Unsurprisingly, Morne Morkel is slung the ball after lunch, no doubt with the instruction to chuck even more cats amongst England's pigeons. He finds a consistent line outside Stokes off stump, trying to tempt the batsman into an ill-advised prod but the Durham lad's discipline sees him safe.

Matt Bone: Test cricket is not a dying form but England's form today is killing me though.
Simon Lovering: If we get bowled out quickly, why can't we do the same to them? Snatch victory from the jaws of defeat from the jaws of victory?
Piedt goes probing for that rough outside off for the left-handed Stokes and then the crack down the middle of the pitch to right-hander Taylor. No worries for either, though. I've barely settled in the chair and already I've had a text from a mate of mine describing me as England's "jinx". Who needs enemies, eh?
The players are out. Dane Piedt has the ball in his hand. Ben Stokes to face the first ball. Here we go again...

Neil Leverett: South Africa have seriously lucked out with the cloud cover at Newlands today. Movement. Sun peeking out. Needed
Simon Terry: Today I was going to get some work done. Definitely. For sure. Then I thought, one little peek can't hurt. Tomorrow, then
