Amla c Taylor b Broad 5 (SA 31-4)
Image source, Getty ImagesWhat a catch! What a brilliant catch from James Taylor! Yes, he's deep at short leg, but Hashim Amla has middled that. Taylor keeps low, gets both hands to the ball and snaffles it millimeters from the turf. Amla, the second of South Africa's batting superstars, is gone and it's that man Stuart Broad again. England are rampaging. They've taken 4-8 in 7.5 overs.

Howard Horner: BROAD! He has always always had the capacity to bowl these magic spells, and once again, he is winning us a series!
Adora Belle: What a cracking morning in the cricket! I defy anyone to say the test format is dead.
SA 31-3 (lead by 21)published at 11:58
The Barmy Army sings for Stuart Broad as England smell a series victory. Ben Stokes on for James Anderson, immediately jamming the bottom hand of Du Plessis. Glum faces in the South Africa dressing room, the world number one ranking slipping away. Ooofff - a snorter from Stokes almost beheads Du Plessis. Tough, tough batting conditions.

Graeme Smith
Ex-South Africa captain on BBC Test Match Special"South Africa need Faf du Plessis. He's struggled with his tempo in this series - he's got to find a bit of positivity here."
SA 30-3 (Broad 7-3-14-3)published at 14 overs
Image source, APLooking again, Broad got the seam absolutely perfect - bolt upright. It nipped back and bounced - jumping as much as Broad's blond locks do in his run-up. A lot of bat from ABDV, goodnight Vienna. Faf du Plessis the new man. South Africa need no faffing from Faf.

Graeme Smith
Ex-South Africa captain on BBC Test Match Special"A huge, huge moment in this Test match. De Villiers is the one batsman who can take this game away from England and they've got him early. Stuart Broad is on fire, he's bowling with great control."

De Villiers c Bairstow b Broad 0 (SA 30-3)
Image source, Getty ImagesThe big one! Stuart Broad has done it again and this time it's AB de Villiers doing the walk of shame for a globe. A lovely delivery from Broad, nipping back to take the inside edge on the way through to Jonny Bairstow's big, white mitts. The Oval 2009. Chester-le-Street 2013. Trent Bridge 2015. Johannesburg 2016? Broad might just be having one of those days.

Graeme Smith
Ex-South Africa captain on BBC Test Match Special"You've got to feel for Van Zyl. He's been thrust into a position that he knows nothing about, and he's been exposed."
SA 30-2 (lead by 20)published at 11:46
Image source, Getty ImagesYou feel that this is the ball game, right here. South Africa's two gun players at the crease, Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers the two most likely to take this away from England. Anderson as a man plays the trombone in the crowd, Amla driving back down the ground for a couple. One more England, just one more...

Graeme Smith
Ex-South Africa captain on BBC Test Match Special"What a cracking catch that was. It went fast to Ben Stokes and he snaffled it above his head. Broad has bowled with good venom today, but it was a nothing defensive shot by Stiaan van Zyl."

Van Zyl c Stokes b Broad 11 (SA 28-2)
Image source, APLike Lennie in Of Mice and Men, Stiaan van Zyl has been taken out back and dealt with. He simply did not know what was going on on around off stump, whether to have his lunch or a haircut. Stuart Broad, the executioner, got the ball in the right place on enough occasions and, inevitably, Van Zyl edged to Ben Stokes at gully. The see-saw teeters once more.

Anthony Slack: It's been more than 2 years since Anderson has been a significant threat with the ball. Now he can't buy a catch!
Jay: Anderson is consistently beating batsmen, going past the outside edge by millimetres. He is clearly past it.
SA 28-1published at 11:41
Stuart Broad has had a mishap with the zinc. There's a blob on one side of his nose, but nowhere else on his face. In the crowd, a full band is playing. It's as if they've sneaked the brass section of the London Philharmonic into the Wanderers. Van Zyl is wafting like a conductor, flashing outside off stump. He's been batting like a man with a conductor's baton....

Geoffrey Boycott
Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special"By bowling to a seven-two off-side field, England feel they can not only create chances, but deny the batsmen runs. They're not going to give them anything on their legs. It's not a plan I like, but it's one that has worked for England in the past. The pressure builds on the batsmen."
SA 28-1 (lead by 18)published at 11:37
Image source, Getty ImagesJimmy, the dropper, to Van Zyl, the reprieved. Has Anderson got the nip-backer in mind? Lots of deliveries are swinging across the leftie at the moment. A stab down the ground, an inside edge, three from the over. Three notches of joy for South Africa. Three inches on to the mountain for England. Knife-edge stuff.

Simon Mann
BBC Test Match Special"That's Anderson's third drop of the series. It went very quickly away to his left-hand side. It was a very difficult chance."
Van Zyl dropped on 9published at 10 overs
SA 25-1
Image source, Getty ImagesDo not miss a delivery. Every ball is an event. Heavy air, packed ground. A buzzing Bullring. Crowd invested in this action - a fair fight between bat and ball.
Is that a drop? It is! It would have been a cracker from Anderson. Broad to Van Zyl, edge to third slip. Anderson dives to his left but can't take it one-handed. Is that cordon too close? The ball is carrying quite comfortably.
