  1. SA 283-5 (Bavuma 9, De Kock 3)published at 80 overs

    Moeen with what you'd imagine will be the final over with the old ball. The new cherry rests, primed like a red leather grenade, in the hands of the fourth umpire. De Kock works a couple off his hips.

    Tom Littlewood: The pendulum is swinging now, all out for 340 would be fantastic for England.

    Luke Swales: We need this lot 6 down by close to have any chance of a win.

    Jay: SA doing a decent job of trying to emulate India's dramatic collapse from a few days back.

  3. SA 281-5published at 79 overs

    Glorious from Bavuma - yet another four-ball in a very ordinary day from Woakes and it gets the treatment, carved through backward point for four.

    "This game has taken a sea change since the interval."

  5. SA 275-5 (Moeen 15-4-49-2)published at 78 overs

    So, Quinton de Kock comes to the party. He's immediately off the mark, but make no mistake, England have fought their way back to parity in this match, especially with four genuine tail-enders to come. Has that leaky outfield proved a bit of a turning point?

    "Oh dear. It’s a short ball, it may have scuttled a little low. It looked plump from here. Duminy will be devastated."

    Oh JP, what have you done son? Horrible, horrible moment for the newly recalled batsman, desperate to finally stamp his place in this side, as he aims a wild pull at a Moeen delivery that keeps low and hits him right in front of the stumps. The umpire's finger goes up, and this is suddenly looking like an even day.

  8. SA 273-4 (Duminy 16, Bavuma 2)published at 77 overs

    Bavuma gets off the mark with a drive into a gap for two. A bit of a mix-up with the running almost gets him in trouble, but he's OK.

    "England have pulled themselves right back into this game. They have managed to bring the run rate down and have picked up three wickets."

  10. SA 271-4published at 76 overs

    A good, tight over from Moeen keeps the pressure on South Africa.

    "From that first ball, when he got a leg stump half volley from Jimmy Anderson, Cook just looked like he knew his game."

  12. SA 271-4published at 75 overs

    Temba Bavuma is the new man and all of a sudden England are right in this Test match. New ball, De Kock the next man, one wicket away from the tail after that.

    "It doesn't matter how you get them but somehow, from the middle of nowhere, Woakes has a wicket without anything special."

    Gone! Stephen Cook's brilliant innings is finally over, Woakes offering a tempter outside off and the opener has a flash and gets an inside edge onto the timbers. He looks absolutely gutted for a man who has just made a hundred on Test debut - a sign of a man with serious appetite for big runs. Big wicket for Woakes, who has bowled poorly today but will be geed by that scalp.

  17. SA 269-3published at 74 overs

    Another freebie from Moeen - dragged down and begging to be hit. Duminy - who has been given a bit of a jump start by England - obliges by pasting it through midwicket.

    BBC Archive: Apartheid and sporting boycotts

    Apartheid in South Africa was one of the most contentious issues of the 20th century. 

    So when South Africa-born Basil D'Oliveira - banned from playing for the Proteas because of the colour of his skin - was named in England's squad to tour his native country in 1968, cricket crossed the sporting boundary into the political sphere.

    England's tour to South Africa was cancelled as the ruling National Party refused to accept D'Oliveira's presence in the England squad.

    The incident culminated in a ban on sporting ties with South Africa that would last for years.

  19. SA 264-3 (Anderson 17-4-49-0)published at 73 overs

    Streaky from Cook, outside-edged past Joe Root at gully for four. Anderson has got the double-teapot on, but he has only himself to blame for the next boundary, on Duminy's pads and flicked away for four.

    "That was absolutely horrendous - a horrible waist-high full toss. It just slipped out of Moeen’s hand."
