    Before we go any further, I have seen all of the jokes about Quinton de Kock getting out. Yes, you are very funny and, no, I won't be publishing any of them. Bess again. A single in the lovely evening sun. England are keeping a tight lid on this at the moment.

    This may also take us down the rabbit hole of things it was OK to eat as a kid, but can earn you some funny looks as an adult. Is drinking from a carton with a straw in it OK if you're a 34-year-old man?

    Two slips as Curran comes round the wicket to Philander, who is happy to plonk himself on to the front foot. Big Vern runs one that bounces down to third man for a couple. It just feels like this match is going to be a nipper all the way through.

    The gifts being offered to the Gods of Cricket certainly seem to have aided England's cause this evening. I was trying to think of other foods that I haven't seen for a while. Penny sweets were up there, but I think that's now because they cost about £1.50 each.

    Still Dom Bess, who will probably twirl away until the new ball is taken. This is his 11th over on the reel. Regardless of the quality of the bowlers available to them, it makes you wonder if England can be banned from ever omitting a spinner again.

    Vernon Philander arrives with the Barmies singing Livin' on a Prayer. (England are halfway there. Get it?)

    Philander has actually come in ahead of Dwaine Pretorius. When you're playing your last Test on your home ground, you can do what you like.

    England have stuck in there and been patient.

    That's clever bowling from Sam Curran, a really good slower ball.

    BBC cricket correspondent in Cape Town

    Absolute gimme again! What is this all about?

    It was a slower ball from Sam Curran but that's a horrible mistimed shot.

    The last two wickets have fallen in head-scratching ways.

    WICKET

    De Kock c Anderson b Curran 20 (SA 191-5)

    Absolutely unbelievable. For the second time this evening a key South African batsman has rolled over and had his belly tickled.

    It's brainless from Quinton de Kock, perhaps not picking the slower ball from new bowler Sam Curran, trying to belt it downtown. It's a total miscue, with mid-off fielder James Anderson running behind the stumps to take the catch.

    A gift for England. Massive moment.

    Van der Dussen 65, De Kock 20

    Here we go then. Quinton de Kock down the track, lofting Bess for a one-bounce four over mid-off. In the nine more overs before the new ball is due, De Kock could put a pretty significant dent in England's lead. If they had to choose, England would probably prefer to get De Kock than Van der Dussen.

    The fella who always dresses as Charlie Chaplin is in with the Barmies. I'm fairly certain he works as a steward at Lord's. Still Stokes, pumping his arms for the final over before drinks. Two singles. Since De Kock's arrival, the run-rate has gone from 1.6 to three an over. He hasn't even been that De Kockian, either.

    Re Mat and Alex offerings to the cricket gods. Currently working in my wine shop and could offer a bottle of fizz to the gods for a couple of wickets. Goes perfectly with breaded fish. I promise.

    There's a beer snake in the crowd. They haven't been seen at English grounds since they started making you pay a deposit for your plastic glass. I'm all for saving the planet, but I bet even Greta Thunberg would be happy to get involved in a beer snake.

    Just a single from the Stokes over, no alarms for either of the South Africa pair in the wonderful evening sunshine. There are 12 overs to go before the new ball, so England will get five with it tonight.

    My name's not Alex, it's Mat, but I am from Devon and I actually sell fish. Should I offer 6 different types as an offering to the cricketing gods?
