One over for Ben Stokes before lunch. He immediately hits the crack that is running along the fifth stump line, fizzing the ball past VDD's edge.

I can't watch Dean Elgar bat without thinking of Jeremy from Peep Show. "Why do you always find me at my lowest points, Elgar?" There are a collection of South Africa fans in whites and what look like fake beards, probably in tribute to Hashim Amla. It's like the Richies in Sydney.

Mercifully for Van der Dussen, he gets away from Anderson, leaving the flirtation with danger to Dean Elgar, who has actually looked pretty comfortable all morning. I reckon we'll get two more overs in before the break.

BBC cricket correspondent in Cape TownJames Anderson has been all over Rassie van der Dussen. But he's nicked that one.

Big, big inside edge. The only question is to why it took Van der Dussen so long to review it. He survives.

This is out, surely? Stone dead.
Anderson to Van der Dussen, full and straight.
He can only be saved if he's hit it...

Bess chats with Root, the discussion seemingly surrounding where the close catchers are posted. When Van der Dussen gets on strike, Jos Buttler tells his team-mates that the batsman wants to "stay down this end". VDD, though, takes one and will face Anderson once more.

Grant Kennett: Going on my last tweet, I now also think Dom Bess just doesn't cut it at test level...

A rare short leg posted for Anderson, who hasn't got as much to say to Van der Dussen in this over. VDD is tall, slender, proper. He shows good judgement when Anderson attempts to draw him in to playing outside off stump. Remember what we were saying about the Laurence Fox lookalike?

Grant Kennett (9:57). You sly dog! That was timely and effective use of Reverse Mockers. *tips hat.

Bess, in his third Test, is England's number 47. In his previous Test, against Pakistan at Headingley in 2018, the Western Terrace had a cracking song about him, to the tune of the Divinyls' I Touch Myself. Decent start from Bess. Short cover comes up to silly point, crowding Dean Elgar. There are about 20 minutes to go until lunch.

Ex-England bowler on The Cricket SocialI love James Anderson having a word with Rassie van der Dussen there. This is Test cricket, it's a tough examination.

Edged! Why is there a gap between second and fourth slip? Rassie van der Dussen survives, getting plenty of grief from James Anderson. What is it that has riled England so much today?
Also, before we go any further, we have to say that Van der Dussen is the double of actor Laurence Fox.

As we thought, Dom Bess has come to the dormant Kelvin Grove End, with England hoping he can plug things up and allow the pacemen to rotate at the lively Wynberg End. From Bess' first ball, Elgar drives in the air, just past the dive of the short cover fielder.

Thanks, Grant - that wicket's all down to you!

When the wicket fell, Anderson went straight to Broad, who had been giving Du Plessis an earful. All of England have been involved in the chat, even Jos Buttler, the most polite man you could ever meet. Rassie van der Dussen is the new man.
