  1. SA 77-3

    Nice, Laurence.

    Rassie van der Dussen gets on the front foot and caresses a superb cover drive away to the fence.

  2. SA 72-3

    Trail by 197

    Stuart Broad is back after lunch and sends a bit of a loosener down the leg side that Dean Elgar flicks fine for four.

  3. Ryan Sidebottom
    Ex-England bowler on The Cricket Social

    This is a really crucial session. If we get a couple of early wickets, the pressure is back on South Africa.

  4. Kate Cross
    England women's seamer on The Cricket Social

    You sense that the next 40 minutes is going to be a really key phase of the game.

  5. SA 66-3

    Shot! Dean Elgar punches deliciously down the ground for four. Great balance.

  6. Ryan Sidebottom
    Ex-England bowler on The Cricket Social

    I thought England would have gone with the duo - Anderson and Broad - after lunch.

  7. Right, back to South Africa v England.

    Sam Curran to Dean Elgar first up after lunch.

    Play.

  8. And elsewhere in not Test cricket, Australia internationals Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell are clattering the Renegades to all parts as the Stars look on course to win the Melbourne derby in the Big Bash League.

    You can listen to live commentary of the closing stages of that match here.

  9. Elsewhere in Test cricket, Australia have discovered Bradman 3.0 at number three, having already got Bradman 2.0 batting at four.

    Marnus Labuschagne might even be better than Steve Smith right now - the Glamorgan man hitting a sublime 215 against New Zealand to help the hosts post 454 on day two of the third Test.

    The Black Caps did respond well, reaching 63-0 at the close.

    More here.

    How are England getting on down there? Struggling to get a reception from up here.

    I agree with Ryan. The only person who has been unfairly criticised so far is Zak Crawley - he was thrown in when he was not expecting to play. We were very fortunate with Alastair Cook coming in and making Test cricket look so easy from the start.

    But if you're playing international sport you have to accept that you are going to get criticised.

  12. Ryan Sidebottom

    You shouldn't be affected by the media. The criticism won't affect these players. Sometimes it can be a help. For me it helped me improve and to try and prove people wrong.

    We're following the live text from the famous Angkor Wat temples in Cambodia. Looking forward to England's bowlers rattling through the SA batsmen today.

  15. Cheers Steph.

    A belting morning for England. Still disappointing yesterday but the bowlers have once again come to the fore to keep their side not just in the game but on top.

    It feels like only five or six people can actually bat in Test cricket at the moment.

  16. Right, at the end of that excellent morning for England, I'm out of here for a little while. Here's Jack Skelton...

    Rob Molloy: Good response from England in the field. More of the same after lunch please!

  18. Ryan Sidebottom
    Ex-England bowler on The Cricket Social

    This will give massive confidence to England. It's been a brilliant morning session, the bowling has been outstanding.

  19. Lunch - SA 60-3

    Trail by 209

    The end of what has been England's morning. What is it about never judging a pitch before both teams have batted, etc, etc?

    The suspicion that this Test is going to be close grows and grows.

    Test Match Special statistician on The Cricket Social

    This day is proving how difficult it is for seemingly everybody in the game to read a pitch.
