BBC Test Match Special

To remind you, Test Match Special will be talking to Ian Bell during the tea break. Bell was appointed Warwickshire captain yesterday, but he insists he still wants to return to the England team. Have a listen.

Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

"England tried to bowl the golden ball all morning instead of bowling with patience. There have been dropped chances and a few fumbles in the field..."

Simon Mann
BBC Test Match Special

"Another session won emphatically by South Africa."

That's the break. Ben Stokes pounds the whole of the last over into the deck, with Amla happy to get out of the way. At tea, South Africa are bossing proceedings. England have been pretty woeful.

Richard J Law: The England bowlers are bowling at SA almost like the result of this match doesn't matter. Oh wait...

A slight victory for England - South Africa's run-rate has dipped below four an over. A touch of spin before the break, with Moeen accurate enough to probably prevent Cook from reaching three figures before tea. Maybe only one over before the players head for a brew and a biscuit.

I didn't spot it myself, but I'm told that James Anderson has been warned for running on the pitch. He was taken out of the attack for just that offence in Johannesburg. Ben Stokes comes on for Anderson, now with just one slip in place. A few bumpers, Amla ducking and swaying to get out of the way.

Just remember, though, Hashim Amla was dropped on five. England's bowling has been pretty poor, but how much of a boost might that wicket have given them? The same goes for the life given to Stephen Cook. Speaking of Cook, attention now turns to his hunt for a ton on debut. Will he get there before tea? There's about 10 minutes before the break.

"Amla has batted so fluently. It's been a controlled innings, yet aggressive."

What a fantastic innings from Hashim Amla, who has been released from the shackles of the captaincy and is batting beautifully. A feature has been the cover drives - wonderful stroke after wonderful stroke. So easy on the eye. He brings up a 25th Test ton with a single to mid-on, giving Centurion the excuse to erupt.

"The bowling has been very very average. Only one spell by Stuart Broad has been any good."

As the Barmies sing, England are just about managing to string together a couple of quiet overs. Hang on, I spoke too soon. Too short from Woakes, Stephen Cook on it in a flash to pull through mid-on for four. Alastair Cook once again puts his head in hands. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that we could be witnessing the end of Chris Woakes' Test career here.    

Bhavin Shah: Broad gets the plaudits for Jo'burg but you can see that England really miss Finn. Need that hit the deck express bowler.

Ellis: Shame no Footitt, variety in the attack very important in shorter formats, soon Tests? England caught behind a trend again?

Amla is made to wait. Or rather, he chooses to wait as he's not drawn into the Anderson game of cat and mouse. A maiden.

Real test of wills here. Amla on 99, Anderson bowling so far outside off stump that he'd need a broom to reach it. Three leaves.

Interesting you should say that, Rob. Woakes has seven wickets in six Tests at an average heading towards 60. Jordan has 31 in eight Tests at an average of 36.
