    Mike Abram: Re all batsmen in double figures in Tests: has it ever happened when no one has made 50?

  2. SA 264-7 (SA won toss)published at 87 overs

    James Anderson decides to go round the wicket to the left-handed Kagiso Rabada who has had his fair share of luck in this innings.

    Lining up England's all-time leading wicket-taker for a baseball-like swat, he is left flashing at fresh air when he is beaten for pace. To rub salt into the wounds, he drives four through mid-off with a lovely flourish. He was bound to get hold of one eventually.

    Matt Walby: Jolly handy these updates, keeping me going through a 5-hour parents review day at school. Even had a South African parent!

  4. SA 258-7 (Morris 24 off 42)published at 86 overs

    Chris Morris takes no prisoners. None at all.

    Ben Stokes pitches the ball up, it's in the slot and Morris belts it through the covers for four. That would have decapitated a pigeon if one had been unfortunate to be grazing on the grass seeds of a used wicket. He hit the ball so hard.

    Steven Mitchell: How often have all 11 batsmen in a Test-match innings registered double figures? Could happen here.

    SportsMind: What's the lowest total where every batsman reached double figures?

  6. SA 254-7 (Morris 20, Rabada 13)published at 85 overs

    T, externalhey say a good motorist should adjust their driving style to the conditions they are faced with. Kagiso Rabada would do well to heed the advice as he time and again goes for the glory shot through the covers, but time and again is made to look silly by a James Anderson outswinger. As the youth of today would say, he's being owned.

    But he's still there. Much to Anderson's annoyance.

    "That was a lucky one from Morris - he couldn't have done that if he'd tried."

  8. SA 252-7 (Morris 19, Rabada 12)published at 84 overs

    A lucky escape for Morris. Playing back to Finn, the ball skews tamely back over the bowler's head and plops on to the ground where the umpire was stood. English heads in hands.

  10. SA 251-7 (run-rate 3.05)published at 83 overs

    Steven Finn bowled England's first no-ball of the series in the last over, and was lucky not to be called for another massive overstep.

    James Anderson is still wicketless and can hardly believe it when he swings two beauties past Kagiso Rabada's groping outside edge. He's too good for the youngster.

    "This partnership is just developing. It's been the story of the day - South Africa have had many small partnerships but not one that really hurts an opposition team and goes a long way to winning a Test match."

  13. SA 251-7 (Finn 17-4-49-2)published at 82 overs

    Steven Finn has been England's best bowler once again today. Fast, plenty of bounce and some late movement. He's everything you want in a fast bowler.

    Chris Morris doesn't fancy it. He fends off a short one with one hand off his bat and facing the other way. Finn is the type of bowler who can slice through a lower order like a hot knife through butter.

    As I type that, however, Kagiso Rabada brings up his side's 250 with a push through the off side for four.

    "He's got some talent, this Morris lad. He might be what South Africa looking for: someone who can bat and bowl seam. He's also such a good slipper. You're getting a good cricketer."

  16. SA 243-7 (Anderson 17-5-37-0)published at 81 overs

    Three slips and a gully are stationed for Jimmy, who finds the outside edge straight away but a sprawling Ben Stokes can't quite get his hands to a difficult chance. Chris Morris then squirts four past backward point.

    Hang on... four more when Anderson strays down leg. His first loose delivery of the day. He's furious with himself as the ball races off the turf through mid-wicket.

    These constant wicket alerts are destroying my battery life. Need an eight-wicket stand to get me home so I can get a charger. Never thought I'd be wishing for some decent South African batting...

    Nick Round: I like England's new tactic, let the batsmen get themselves in and then let them get themselves out.

  20. 6 runs

    SA 235-7published at 80 overs

    Kagiso Rabada is looking unconvincing against Moeen Ali, leaving one which dips back in and almost knocks back the left-hander's off stump.

    He knows what to do with a full toss though... clouting it for six. Slog.
