    Here come Moeen Ali and Stuart Broad, a fist bump and we are set for action.

    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    I used to wake up for the first three days of a Test match all chipper and thinking life was easy. Then, as a spinner, life would ramp up and become a lot more stressful on days four and five.

    Jerusalem is pumping out of the speakers at Old Trafford and South Africa are in a huddle on the pitch.

    Play is imminent.

    Ex-South Africa captain on BBC Test Match Special

    I think South Africa have bowled on every day of the last two Tests. Their bowlers are in pain. They will just want to get off the field today and look forward to six weeks off. It's been a tough tour.

    South Africa haven't been great in these last two Test matches, you have to say, but England have been very, very good.

  6. Over in India...published at 10:52 British Summer Time 7 August 2017

    A sporting great...and Virat Kohli.

    Over in India, it looks like the skipper has bumped into WWE star The Great Khali at a restaurant.

    Look at the size of the lad. He makes Chris Tremlett look small.

    It's a cold, grey day in Manchester. Michael Vaughan is bridling at my use of the word 'cold' but I'm a soft Southern batsman. It's really cold. I feel like I need skiing goggles, rather than protection from the sunshine.

    The electronic traffic signs around Old Trafford read: "Cricket match 4/5/6/7 August. Plan your journey." No mention of the 8th, tomorrow's fifth day. Probably fair enough.

    David, there are three things certain in life...

    Death, taxes and rain in Manchester.

    As rain is forecast at Old Trafford from 1100 to 2100 tomorrow (Tuesday), surely England should put SA into bat immediately for the difficult first-hour session in order to stand a chance of bowling them out before tomorrow's rain?

  11. Moeen should stay at eight - Vaughanpublished at 10:38 British Summer Time 7 August 2017

    Moeen Ali should stay batting at number eight for England, according to former captain Michael Vaughan.

    With England struggling to fill gaps in their top order, Moeen hit an unbeaten 67 to push their lead over South Africa to 360 on day three of the fourth Test.

    "They need a number two and a number five, but keep Moeen at eight," said Vaughan.

    "He is a wonderful player and I like him in that position - I like the batting line-up being deep."

    England have waited a long time for a home series win over South Africa. 1998 was the last.

    But surely this series is only going one way now?

    Moeen Ali's onslaught yesterday has put England in a commanding position - one that they cannot possibly throw away? Right? Right?!
