"Look at the height. Just above shoulder. Once you get it that high, you can't pull any more - it's a hook. It's awkward."

The BBC live text cricket team are in agreement that this is the best contest between bat and ball we've had from a pitch in the last couple of years. Everyone's a winner. Temba Bavuma is the new man at the crease.

De Villiers c Bairstow b Stokes 36 (SA 161-4)
Image source, Getty ImagesA huge, monstrous wicket for England. Ben Stokes digs one in, AB can't resist a dabble at the hook shot and ends up grunting in annoyance as the ball clips his glove on the way through to the keeper.
That's two wickets for Stokes now, and four catches for Jonny Bairstow.

He's actually hit the ball out of the ground. The match referee is sent out with some replacement cherries.

Faf du Plessis slips on his sweatband and helmet and marches out to the middle behind AB de Villiers.
Did you know these two are best mates from their school days? I like the idea of two youngsters one day conquering the world. What's the best thing you've done with your childhood friend? Climbed a mountain? Routed the Dog and Duck for 12 all out?

Tea interval - SA 152-3published at 54 overs
The bails removed, a handshake between the batsmen, the players heading off for brew. A good session, that. England better with the ball, the day pretty much in the balance.
SA 152-3published at 13:10
The Barmy Army sing Petula Clark's Downtown, I think to salute Nick Compton. De Villiers ensures that Du Plessis isn't dozing his way towards tea, calling him through for a single so short that he needs to dive. Safely home. Two deliveries before the break...

SA 151-3 (De Villiers 28, Du Plessis 6)published at 13:06
Moeen has in fact switched ends, replacing Finn and still bowling round the wicket to right-hander De Villiers. Plenty of men on the leg side, ABDV still gets a single. This is better to Du Plessis, back over the wicket, looking to turn the ball into the stumps. Du Plessis, though, drives for four. Maybe only one over left before tea.
