    It's still bleak in Johannesburg, but not as dark in the mood of the South Africa dressing room. Hashim Amla is wearing shades. We can still see you, Hashim. Du Plessis and Viljoen take a single each. There might be one over left before tea.

    It's odd because, before that Rabada wicket, it felt like we were just coming down from the high, as if the DJ had stopped playing the belters and was now spinning Never Forget. Not that England were any less dominant, just that the cricket felt more... normal. Hardus Viljoen is the new man, the returning James Anderson is the bowler.

    "Beautiful length, perfect length. Stokes has made it move more than anybody. You can't blame a tailender for that."

    Gone. The tiniest of mini-recoveries is over and England are two balls away from a very small runchase. Ben Stokes primes Kagiso Rabada for the outswinger, bowling channel and packing the cordon. After much playing and missing, Rabada eventually gets a tickle through to Jonny Bairstow.

  7. 66-7 (lead by 56)published at 26 overs

    The floodlights burn down on the Bullring, almost like a torch being shone in the eyes of these South Africa batsmen. They have wilted under interrogation. Rabada decides that flashing is a decent plan, going up and over the off side to take three off Finn. I can't imagine that plan is built to last.

  8. SA 55-7 (lead by 45)published at 25 overs

    Just turning on? It's not a typo. South Africa really are 55-7. They've been Broaded. James Taylor almost gets another sniff at short leg, but the ball just bounces short. When Rabada jams Stokes through the slips and for four, it brings up the 50. That brings the biggest cheer the home fans have mustered all day.

  10. SA 47-7 (lead by 37)published at 12:46

    I can't remember seeing a spell of Test cricket where the ball has done so much - and I include Trent Bridge 2015 in that. There's bounce, nip and movement in the air. South Africa look like they are inventing batting, like the first men who have ever been asked to put willow to leather. Every ball could be a wicket. Somehow Rabada skins the cat and gets through Finn's over.

    Jack Moult: Stuey Broad loves it a hot streak. Is this his best one yet? De Villers and Amla are both top 10 batsmen.

    Josh Roberts: This spell by Broad is 2nd only to Durham 2013. It's hard to top a spell that snatches a win from the Aussies & wins the Ashes!

  12. SA 46-7 (Stokes 5-0-14-1)published at 23 overs

    It's been an absolute capitulation from South Africa, but, believe it or not, they haven't played that badly. England have just been absolutely outstanding. It's hard to think of anyone that has got himself out, it's just that the Proteas haven't been up to. Kagiso Rabada is the latest lamb to the slaughter, beaten by jaffa after jaffa from Stokes.

    "South Africa's lowest total since readmission was 76 in Nagpur last year. That is now under threat."

    Bowled him! A beauty from Ben Stokes, a hooping, dipping, stump-seeking, in-swinging yorker does for Chris Morris, neck and crop. Leg stump removed. If Stokes had told Morris he was going to bowl that, he still wouldn't have kept it out. This will be done tonight.

    SA 46-6 (Finn 1-0-2-1)published at 12:34

    If this was a boxing match, the referee would have stepped in. Chris Morris arrives and is immediately hit on the head by a Finn bouncer. Replays of the Taylor catch make it look even better. Everything has gone for England, bowling conditions, great catches, a bit of luck. That's taking nothing away, though. They have been magnificent.

    "The first three wickets were genuine dismissals, the last three have been the kind of wickets you get when you just know it's going to be your day. It was a leg-stump half-volley and it's gone straight into Taylor's left paw."

    James Taylor has done it again! He's taken another blinder at short leg! In fact, this one is even better. Two balls into Steven Finn's spell, Dane Vilas turns one off his hip and Taylor dives full-stretch to his right, clinging on in one hand. That is so difficult to do. Taylor is off on another sprinting celebration and another Protea is heading back. Remember how I said this could be done tonight?
