Rob Meech: Definitely bounced.

Just to recap what happened there: Bairstow pressed forward to Maharaj and got a big edge onto his pads. The ball flew off the pad and towards Dean Elgar at slip, who moved forward to take the catch. The umpires gave the soft signal as out, and then went upstairs, but Faf looked as though he'd review it anyway. Up it goes and the cameras say it's not out. The more you see it, the more out it looks. That's a maiden, by the way.

It looked like it had hit a little bit of grass and flew up a little bit.

Joel Wilson tells the umpires to reverse their decision. Not out!

Faf looks thrilled (not!). I honestly think that was out...

Has this carried to Dean Elgar at slip? I think it has but it's one of those that the cameras makes it look like it's hit the turf...

We're going upstairs. Bairstow has gone forward to Maharaj, the ball has flown to slip, who takes the catch.

The umpire has given him out as a soft signal, and calls for the review. Bairstow and Stokes don't look happy - in fact, Bairstow is pretty unimpressed. It's an umpire review, not a SA review.

Speaking of conversion rates...

Francis Edwards‏: Root proving again why he's behind Smith, Williamson and probably Pujara, his conversion rate is really really bad.

James Radhi‏: Seriously for all his talent and run-scoring, Root must have one of the poorest 50-100 conversion rates... it's like Ian Bell!

Stokes hoists his bat aloft and plays a series of nice defensive shots to Olivier, taking a step out of his crease and just placing the ball gently into the turf. Ooft, and that's four! A gorgeous on-drive from the all-rounder, Stokes holding his elbows high and putting enough pace on the ball to burst through a diving fielder.

I have another theory.

I think Joe Root has been exposed a little. When Rabada was bowling line and length and nipping it back earlier, Joe was getting uncomfortable. He wasn't looking happy. Because of that, I think he decided to walk at the ball and hit with the movement.

Maharaj whizzes through another over and, after a leisurely single from Stokes, gets his first sight of Jonny Bairstow. Bairstow's forward, bat and pad together, running the ball off the face of the bat. There's a bit of extra bounce for the spinner as the ball thuds high onto Bairstow's bat, but there's no close catchers in place.

He might be out now, but Joe Root brought up his 10th consecutive Test half-century earlier - and the 30th of his international career.

That was a lovely ball from Olivier. And Ben Stokes' face... he knew that was out but, you try telling your Test captain he's not allowed to use one of his reviews. Jonny Bairstow is the next man in and he blocks his first two deliveries before picking the ball up off his toes and working it through mid-wicket for a boundary. A glorious drive goes straight to the fielder, Bairstow holding the pose for the cameras, before the wicket-keeper lets the last ball bounce beyond his stumps.

The happiest man on this planet right now is Quinton de Kock. If you miss or let a catch a go, you pray for that man who has just been reprieved to be out as soon as possible.

It was a wasted review. If this was a number nine and not the captain then Ben Stokes would have said not to review it.

Of course he's reviewing, but if he's not out then he's luckiest man alive. I think this is hitting the middle of middle stump.

Oh no, Joe!

Joe Root misses a straight one from Olivier and the ball hits him in front. Looks out, is given out.

Root rather sheepishly calls for a review. If you don't buy a ticket and all that...

I have a theory about Joe Root’s dropped catch. It shouldn’t happen, but there are certain players who you don’t expect to nick it. Because they’re playing so well, you subconsciously you start expecting them to not nick it. It’s a dangerous mindset to get into because you should expect every ball to come to you.

If a tailender comes in, you think they will nick every ball and if they don’t it’s a surprise. That looked as if de Kock just didn’t expect Root to nick the ball.

Michael Clarke is a player who I never thought would nick it, I thought he would be lbw all the time. Shane Watson is the same. You have to fight that mindset.

Stokes slams his bat down on a full Maharaj ball and then holds his pose, fixated on a spot on the ground. The two exchange singles before Stokes clonks a drive straight to a waiting fielder. He has a big grin on his face as he sees out the over.

England are looking at every ball. They're only looking to defend if it's a good ball. The next couple of hours will be interesting.
