  1. How's stat?!

    Four maidens in a row in which two wickets have fallen.

  2. SA 12-2

    Target 331

    JP Duminy is the new man, not a player I'd back for a big innings against an off-spinner on a turning pitch.

    This has been the perfect start for England. Another wicket maiden. South Africa are going nowhere and have lost both openers.

    Heino Kuhn was the first to go from this excellent catch.

    It was coming. You felt Elgar was going to try something but he got too close to it and couldn't get the elevation. Good catch by Moeen, it was hit quite hard. If you saw Luke Fletcher last night in the T20 it cracked him on the head with a return catch but he has been tweeting today.

    WICKET

    Elgar c&b Moeen 2 (SA 12-2)

    Make that 23 wickets for Moeen Ali!

    Elgar feels the need to put the pressure on the spinner and comes down the pitch.

    He gets good contact on a drive but it's straight at Mo and the England bowler grasps the ball into his chest.

    Both openers gone!

  5. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    Moeen Ali has 22 wickets in the fourth innings at an average of 46.

  6. SA 12-1

    Target 331

    "Oooooooh."

    Joe Root has his hands on his head at slip. Jimmy A is bowling well.

    Amla almost drags the ball onto his own stumps but luckily for him gets a boot in the way and then the following ball keeps low but the South African keeps it out.

    Testing times.

  7. Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    What South Africa have to do is try and be positive. The players that have come in and played defensively have just looked like getting out. Hashim Amla always looks a peace.

  8. ouch!

    SA 12-1

    Target 331

    Is this the game right here?

    Hashim Amla is in at number three for South Africa. If they are to survive/chase this total you reckon the former skipper will have to go big.

    It's a nasty start for Amla. Anderson gets one to jump from back of a length and hit the batsman on the wrists. On comes the physio...

    Cheese update. Our man hasn't got a tray, but three plates. I've counted at least four knives too. He might also have a microwave in his bag.

  10. SA 12-1

    Target 331

    That really was a smart catch from Bairstow. It is always difficult for a 'keeper down the leg side.

    Stuart Broad had Dean Elgar out only for it to be overturned on review earlier (see below) but Joe Root is making his first change of bowling.

    Moeen Ali into the attack nice and early. He beats Elgar's outside edge once as he starts with a maiden.

  11. Ed Smith
    Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    Bairstow put a claw out, like an eagle grabbing a mouse.

  12. Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Tremendous work, he's having a good day, Jonny Bairstow. I thought Kuhn was looking a lot better than in the first innings but a tremendous grab.

  13. wicket

    WICKET

    Kuhn c Bairstow b Anderson 9 (SA 12-1)

    Sorry for the commentator's curse Heino but what a catch!

    Anderson tries to arrow in on the opener's pads but gets a little leg side. Kuhn gets a tickle on it and Jonny Bairstow throws himself down low to his left to scoop the ball up off the turf.

  14. Geoffrey Boycott
    Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    On the whole, moving up from provincial cricket to Test cricket the main difference is they bowl you fewer easy to hit balls and more that will get you out. You also have to get used to 28,000 people watching you and camera everywhere.

  15. Eng 12-0

    Target 331

    Kuhn may have been out for one in the first innings but he is in decent form with two centuries, including a 200 not out, for South Africa A against the Lions last month.

    He is opening in place Stephen Cook who you may remember hit 115 on debut against England last year.

    Since then Cook has struggled though making a best of 30 in Test series against New Zealand and Sri Lanka and also failing to hit top form for Durham in Division Two in the first part of this county season.

    That's what has given Kuhn the chance and so far the 33-year-old has been solid.

  16. SA 11-0

    Target 331

    Kuhn is batting out of his crease to Anderson, I assume to negate the variable bounce and help him keep out the one that stays low.

    Jimmy is getting a little bit of movement. First an in-dipper to Kuhn and then an outswinger to Elgar from around the wicket.

    The latter had a little nibble at that one.

  17. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    It's been very difficult batting in the fourth innings at Lord's recently. No scores over 250 in the last four years.

  18. Get Involved

    #bbccricket

    Blue nose: Stop being wildly optimistic about Eng chances. SA can get 331, no doubt about it. Finish today? Ridiculous.

  19. Geoffrey Boycott
    Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    In your mind when the odd ball is keeping low you have got to be getting forward to nullify it. But it's not so easy against Broad who is a tall lad and gets you back.

  20. SA 8-0

    Target 331

    Broad shrugs his shoulders after that review as he strides back to his mark.

    No breakthrough but England will be pleased to have created an opportunity.

    The England seamer bowls out a maiden to keep things tight.
