    No-ball! Jonny Bairstow should be on his way back, but Kagiso Rabada has not got anything behind the line. It was a loose drive from Bairstow, edging to first slip, while Rabada has to wait to complete his 10-wicket haul...

    I've just seen a replay of that blow to Stokes. It was like being punched by Carl Froch. When he lifts his shirt, there's a red mark on his stomach. Jonny Bairstow, who has seen the danger, calls for a chest guard. Stokes doesn't bother. Hard as nails.

    I don't suppose your mate is from Stoke-on-Trent, Chris? The North Staffordshire oatcake is a delicacy. Bacon, cheese and tomato ketchup. Morne Morkel has Ben Stokes hopping around, with the Durham all-rounder taking a blow just above the most painful place.

    Chris: My mate Oatcake did a rain dance this morning. Sadly he's not in S.Africa and it's now hammering down in Durham.

    The Barmies are having a right old knees-up, banging out some classics. A bit of Sweet Caroline now. Sing along, you know the words. Jonny Bairstow likes it, spanking Rabada through mid-wicket for four.

    AB de Villiers got a bit of stick for not declaring yesterday, but he was spot on with his captaincy this morning. He had a hunch that Piedt would get Root and it worked. Now, Piedt is off and nine-wicket Kagiso Rabada is on.

    Sun out at Centurion, but it's pouring down in the England dressing room where Moeen Ali has had to rush to get his pads on. Ben Stokes won't die wondering here, he's rubbing his sticks together to fight fire with fire. A Morkel short ball, Stokes top-edging a hook over the keeper for four.

    Just turning on? Where've you been? England really have lost two wickets in the first four overs. Firstly, the Taylor wicket. Great delivery, little he could do. If that's a sign of things to come, England are stuffed. Root's was an awful shot, driving and undone by the flight and lack of turn. Ben Stokes lost a batting partner before he even faced a ball and is joined by Jonny Bairstow.

    "That was a poor shot. He got dropped first over - here he's driving to another straight ball. That was not the right shot, not when you're staying to save the game and you're the main player. They can't get out of playing shots, this side."

    Don't go anywhere because this could be over quickly. England lose a second wicket in the space of four deliveries, but this time it's a pretty loose shot. Joe Root, who had already edged Dane Piedt once this morning, plays a pretty airy drive and is held at first slip. England are in all sorts of myther.

    Gone! First blood to South Africa! It's an absolute brute from Morne Morkel, with not a great deal that James Taylor can do. It's just short of length, but rears alarmingly towards the face of Taylor. With the bat handle in front of his head, Taylor can only take the ball on the glove, with keeper Quinton de Kock able to take a simple catch. That was a snorter.

    Abbott off after one over. Was that just an experiment to see how fit he is? Morne Morkel on.
