    Elgar 54, Duminy 8

    There will be one more over before Geoffrey and Marcus shoot the breeze for their teatime Facebook feature. Wood is up to 88mph but there is a pleasing sound off the bat as Duminy pushes forward and drives with conviction through the covers for his second boundary.

    Stokes beats Duminy for pace and rattles into his pads. The crowd roar for an lbw and wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow agrees, but there is no appeal from the bowler, who is resigned to it heading down the leg side.

    Dan Pritchett: You have to feel for Dawson. Coaches see something in him but a flat track at Lord's is hardly the best place to play him.

    Sergei Shtaniuk: Rashid not Dawson. Rashid not Dawson. Rashid not Dawson. Rashid not Dawson. Rashid not Dawson. Rashid not Dawson.

    Andy Harley: Get off @daws128, external back. People were using these tired lines about @Gilo, external in 2005 and he was essential in winning the Ashes back.

    Elgar 52, Duminy 4

    Another burst from Wood. Just the two slips and a gully for him now. A steady maiden to the obdurate Duminy in the mid-80s. An MCC member sports a pair of braces in the club colours. I wonder what else you can buy in the egg and bacon? We've seen socks today and this classic blazer/tie combination. Do they sell boxer shorts in the colours?

    Duminy has had his struggles against off-spin in the past. He is an experienced cricketer and has been around for a long time. Consistency has been the big thing for him.

    Just a single and a leg bye off the Stokes over. The all-rounder is angling the ball back into the left-handers and occasionally looks threatening but who is going to make the next breakthrough for England?

    Elgar 51, Duminy 4

    Two left-handers at the crease now as JP Duminy joins his captain. Stokes and Anderson are crammed in close to the bat at slip and gully respectively for Moeen but Duminy gets off the mark off his 11th delivery with a cut to the boundary.

    Massive wicket. South Africa were just starting to build something. Elgar and Amla had soaked up the pressure. The rough was created from the South Africa seamers bowling round the wicket yesterday and Moeen is the first to really find it.

    A maiden for Stokes, who has elasticated supports on both elbows the same biscuit colour as the wicket, which has now lost most of its green tinge.

    He misjudged the length. It was fuller than he thought. It turned a little bit but not much. It is a huge wicket and a surprise one. Amla is such a good player of spin.

    Amla lbw b Moeen 29 (SA 82-2)

    The prize scalp for England. It turned, Amla went back and he missed it. The tendency would be to review any time Amla is dismissed but the batsmen decide it was so plumb there was no point - and replays duly show it was hitting middle stump. Moeen's 99th Test wicket.

    Stokes beats Elgar with a beauty outside the off stump but the resolute skipper duly gets a thick edge to another one and it trickles away for his eighth four to bring up his seventh Test half century.

    Evan Samuel: I know as an Aussie I'm biased towards leg spin, but has Rashid kicked Bayliss's cat or something?

    Fran Bleasdale: I suspect Root might now be regretting not having Rashid in the side. No way Amla is going to lose sleep vs Dawson.

  18. SA 78-1published at 15:04 British Summer Time 7 July 2017

    Elgar 47, Amla 29

    That's a good one David, I always thought they could also do that with the boundary ropes to highlight the exact point at which a fielder is in contact with the ball. No follow through again from Elgar as he steps down the track to Moeen but it's four more again and the captain is nearing a half century. Is he going to emulate his counterpart Root and make a big hundred?

    England's talisman Ben Stokes is the next bowler, his thinning, sandy coloured hair shimmering in the summer sunshine. An ignominious start for the all-rounder, his opening two deliveries angle in and are nonchalantly clipped through mid-wicket for successive boundaries by Amla as Alan Davies and Michael Parkinson look on. Unlikely bed/seat fellows surely?
