    "If I was South Africa now, I'd just tee off. They need to try and get the scoreboard ticking. If they keeping playing timidly like this, they'll get bowled out. It's a long shot, but they need to try to get another 100 runs."

    The conversation between Du Plessis and Vilas: "Brilliant, Broad is coming off. We've got through. Who's coming on? Oh."

    "It's the fifth time in five games that South Africa have had a spell where they've lost five wickets for 15 runs or fewer."

    I've just seen a replay of Du Plessis lobbing the ball back to Broad. He stood with his hands on his hips, not even moving when the ball hit him on the knee. Livid. You know the one run in Broad's 5-1? It was Anderson's dropped catch. It could have been 6-0. There's a suggestion that he might now be set for a rest. At the other end, Dane Vilas drives Stokes for four.

    "Broad just keeps producing these spells. He's just got that X factor, when he gets in rhythm on any surface, that knack of taking wickets."

  6. SA 40-5 (last 10 overs 15-4)published at 20 overs

    I like this, a bit of agro. The ball drops at the feet of Du Plessis, who picks it up and lobs it back to Broad. The bowler doesn't like it. "You're here to bat, not field. Leave the ball alone." Boos, but that's just more fuel for the Broad fire. Inside-edge from Faf, who's lucky to see his furniture still there.

    Still Broad, obviously. You feel like he can take a wicket with every ball he bowls.

    "It's the seventh time in Test match cricket that Stuart Broad has taken five wickets in a single spell."

  10. SA 40-5 (lead by 30)published at 12:20

    To remind you, Broad has 5-1 in 31 balls. To celebrate, the Barmy Army play Livin on a Prayer - England are halfway there. Du Plessis, less of a batting partner, more of an eyewitness, gets the scoreboard moving with a single, then Vilas drives Stokes back down the ground for four.

    James Johnston: Broad is surely the most destructive bowler in the world when he bowls spells like this. A pure delight to watch.

    Luke Swales: What does @StuartBroad8, external eat for brekkie on days like this? It's like Trent Bridge all over again.

    Jonny Brook: Broad is like Metallica in Nashville, absolutely unplayable!

  12. SA 36-5 (Broad 9-5-14-5)published at 18 overs

    It's absolutely incredible stuff. This game was on the sharpest of edges, but Stuart Broad has taken the blade and cut off the head of the Protea. One by one they come down the tunnel, into the Bullring, the Colosseum. Broad is the rampaging Lion. Dane Vilas is the next line of defence.

    "When it's your day, it's your day. It hasn't bounced anywhere near as much as Bavuma expected and it's come off the glove and hit the stumps. Broad is on for 10!"

    Bowled him! Everything is going for England and Stuart Broad. Temba Bavuma gets into an awful tangle against a short ball, tries to limbo underneath it, gets hit on the glove and deflects down on to his stumps. Broad has taken all of the first five and England are charging towards victory.

    In my excitement at that catch, I called Amla the captain. He's not and, judging by the look on his face in the dressing room, he's relieved about it. Stokes to Du Plessis in the gloom, grey clouds firmly circled over the Proteas. An appeal for leg before, looks good, but no dice. Has he hit it? No review.

    Middlemarch: Catches win matches. Bowling is super tight. SA collapsing in a heap. Test matches are about pressure and England are on top.

    Broad is having one of those spells, but bowlers always need a touch of help. It's come from Taylor, who set off on a lap of the square when he held that. I'm told the reaction was 0.4 seconds. Broad has 4-1 in 23 balls. This might be done tonight.

    "It's brilliant from Taylor: not only to have the bravery to stay up, but also to have the reflexes to get his fingers under the ball."
