Dean Elgar is an annoyingly composed cricketer at the crease. Standing with a steely, fixed gaze and Desperate Dan-like stubble, he waits for the bowler to over-pitch and then wallops him through mid-wicket for four.

This tweet is now out of date, but it made me laugh so pretend England still haven't made a breakthrough...
Ian Bradley: Turn alerts on first thing and nothing, worse than no text reply from a new love interest, torture.
SA 46-1 (Stokes 1-0-2-1)published at 18 overs
It's hard to make Hashim Amla look uncomfortable at the crease, but Ben Stokes achieves just that with one which nips back and has the right-hander hopping about like a man with ants in his pants. Amla then gets off the mark with a two.

Paul Hawkins: Of course Stokes makes the breakthrough. Who else??!?!

Ex-South Africa captain on BBC Test Match Special"It's Stokes' ability to make something happen. It's a nothing shot from Van Zyl. He's done the hard yards and then given it away with a really soft dismissal."

Van Zyl c Bairstow b Stokes 21 (SA 44-1)
Image source, AFPHe just makes things happen, doesn't he? England's frontline three have toiled away all morning and then Ben Stokes, steaming in like a bandaged rhino, induces a horrible, half-hearted waft across the line and the ball loops into the air for Jonny Bairstow to take a simple catch.
It only took him three balls.

That's a brilliant picture of Dane Vilas. Did they hammer his door down, pick some clothes up off his bedroom floor and bundle him into a taxi to the airport?
"Where are you taking me?"
"Jo'burg."
"Why?"
"You're making your home Test debut."
Stuart Broad looks threatening and gets one to nip back into Dean Elgar's pads but it's doing too much and the appeal is turned down. A fine, maiden over though. Possibly the best of the day so far.

Steven Finn has blue a plaster on the tip of his finger, like he's nicked it while chopping up veg. Speaking of nicks, there's another one to the third man boundary off Stiaan van Zyl's bat. Finny's not too pleased.

Daniel Card: "Do you mind if we bat, Alastair, we've only got 10".
Ryan Palliser: Vilas situation is very much like a Saturday morning trying to locate a player who was last seen at 4am rolling out of a pub.

Steve in Kettering: I am a little disappointed about lack of early wickets so giving in to the dog's request for a walk in the hope of a change of fortune for England's bowlers!

Image source, AFPStuart Broad is back into the attack. His rest didn't last long.
Dean Elgar, by the way, is giving a masterclass in 'soft hands', whereby he relaxes his grip to edge four through the slip cordon. He's a good batsman. Drinks.

My new husband and I won't be talking to each other for the next five days again. He's South African, I'm English. We both love cricket. We've been married for two and a half months and this is the toughest test of our relationship that we have faced.

There are two blokes in the crowd wearing baby carriers with a doll hanging out the side of it. Like in The Hangover. Hopefully nobody thinks it's a good idea to steal Mike Tyson's tiger after six hours of drinking beer in the South African sun...
Steven Finn is in the groove now. He's landing it on the spot every time, getting nip away and trampoline-like bounce.
A good over is spoilt when Finn throws one up and Stiaan van Zyl times the pants off it to the boundary.
