    Toby has bowled well. Always handy when you get a few with the bat as well. He has taken two very important wickets.

    WICKET

    Kuhn lbw b Roland-Jones 15 (SA 23-2)

    TRJ does it again! Bowling a full length, Kuhn is trapped so comprehensively in front that he doesn't even think about reviewing it.

    The only doubt comes when they check for a no-ball - thankfully for England, about a millimetre of Roland-Jones' left boot was behind the popping crease.

  3. Get Involved - Stokes v Kallis v Flintoff

    #bbccricket

    James Matthews: Comparison to Kallis silly yes, but Stokes already has same number of 5-fors and 100s as Freddie.

    Barney: Stokes will never have the career stats of Kallis but I'd suggest he will win more games than Kallis throughout his career.

    Here's a couple of those Stokes sixes:

  4. SA 23-1

    10 overs

    Floodlights are on, thankfully the rain hasn't interrupted play yet today as many feared it might, though it still looks pretty dingy.

    Stuart Broad opens up with a loose half-volley which Heino Kuhn guides through the covers for four. A single brings Amla back on strike, he's yet to score.

  7. SA 18-1

    Trail by 335

    Amla sees off the last ball of the over. Both sides have burned off one of their DRS reviews within the first nine overs.

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

    Hashim Amla has been the bane of England's bowlers so many times. I think it was fair enough to review it.

  9. Not out

    SA 18-1

    It's a fair delivery, hitting Amla's left pad above the knee-roll... and it's umpire's call for clipping the top of the leg stump.

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

    I think they'll review this because of the stature of the player.

  11. Umpire review

    Hashim Amla trapped in front first ball after tea, Aleem Dar shakes his head, and England call for a review...

  12. Here was the Dean Elgar wicket which fell before tea - Toby Roland-Jones has two deliveries with which to complete his over.

  13. Thanks, Jamie. If you've not been listening to TMS, they've been speaking to Surrey chairman Richard Thompson and head of communications Jon Surtees, tying in with the celebration of this Test as The Oval's 100th men's Test.

    South Africa look keener to resume proceedings than England - the batsmen precede the fielders onto the arena. Theoretically we have 44.2 overs left today, nearly half an entire "normal" day's play.

  14. Well there are a scheduled 44 overs remaining to be bowled today so he has plenty of time if the weather allows. To see what transpires, I'll hand you to Mark Mitchener.

    Stokes to take five wickets before close today! I wouldn't bet against it.

    Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    The one South African bowler who looked like he might get you out was Philander. Before he got Cook out, Morne Morkel bowled beautifully but he hasn't really moved the ball.

    John Bills: Kallis is probably the greatest all-round cricketer to ever play the game. Stokes is very good, but the comparison is silly.

    Arguably the greatest all-rounder to ever play the game - Sir Garfield Sobers - is 81 today and one of my favourites, Ian Botham, made his Test debut 40 years ago to this very day.

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

    Sometimes the edge is so fine, the people behind the wicket hear it, but the bowler doesn't.

  19. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on TMS

    I'd like to see the replay, as it didn't seem the bowler went up very convincingly, although the slips did. Dean Elgar is pulling off his gloves, and that's a great breakthrough for England on the stroke of tea.

    WICKET

    Elgar c Bairstow b Roland-Jones 8 (SA 18-1)

    There is a spike on the Ultra Edge, the crowd have seen it, there is a huge cheer, the decision is upheld and Elgar is on his way to give Roland-Jones a first Test wicket. That will be tea as the rest of the players also make their way back to the pavilion, the England team is jubilant as they head for the sandwiches.
