Oooh, he's just got away with it. The Yorkshire Oracle was right, umpire's call on leg stump. Jimmy Cook is twirling that moustache with the tension of it all...

Umpire reviewpublished at 65.2 overs
Has Stokes got another one? Big appeal for LBW against Cook, turned down on the field, but England want another look...

De Villiers c Root b Broad 0 (SA 238-3)
Image source, APAnd another! Get one, get two, they always say, and that maxim holds true for England. Bouncy outside off stump from Broad, AB can't resist a fidget at it, and he ends up fending a sharp catch to a flying Joe Root at second slip. England back in the game!

Amla b Stokes 109 (SA 237-2)
Image source, Getty ImagesWhat do we always say about Ben Stokes? He makes things happen. Case in point here: England looking flat as a pancake, and suddenly the strawberry-blond talisman breaks through with a good delivery which clatters the stumps via Hashim Amla's inside edge. Breakthrough.

Francis Edwards: Big weakness for England, cannot bowl when it's not swinging and cannot bowl on spinning pitches. Major concern for future.
SA 236-1 (Cook 96, Amla 109)published at 63 overs
Image source, ReutersHashim Amla is flowing like a burst water main at the moment. He's in full torrent. Stuart Broad serves one up outside off stump and he flays it through the covers for a four that brings up the 200 partnership. What a superb stand it's been from these two.

Right, the Bridezilla. So I was having lunch and the woman sitting at the table next to me was obviously on some sort of pre-wedding reconnaissance outing with a couple of friends.
"I never thought I'd be one of those nightmare brides," she said.
"But ultimately, this is a project and I'm the co-ordinator. Someone's got to make sure stuff gets done." Except she didn't say stuff.
Test cricket: apparently not the only activity that demands all-white dress and military precision.

He's fine. He moves on to 96.

SA 228-1 (Broad 11-1-37-0)published at 61 overs
Cook, inching his way towards the target, retains the strike with a dropped single into the leg side. You'd imagine he'll be thinking of getting there in ones at the moment. But who knows? After all, this is the universe where Nick Compton got out trying to win a match with a six. All things are possible.

Stephen Cook is in the nervous 90s. Let us console ourselves that he was once out for 390 in a first-class match – so there is a possibility of four phases of nervous 90s.
