  1. I can't top that, so I won't try.

    See you tomorrow for England's victory push.

  3. Unbelievable. This came just before the Anderson wicket....

  4. More from Dom Sibley: "I know my technique is a bit different, but before I changed to this I wasn't getting any runs.

    "I just want to keep doing it. That feeling today is pretty addictive. I won't be resting on my laurels.

    "I don't know if the way Stokesy played was a plan, but in the nets this morning I was scratching around and he was whacking everything."

  5. More from centurion Dom Sibley: "As soon as I saw it get full, I went for the sweep and just wanted to avoid the top edge. Luckily I got it off the middle.

    "I didn't sleep last night, 15 runs has never felt so many. But Ben Stokes took the pressure off me this morning and I got over the line.

    "The hard work was done yesterday. I struggled a bit against Keshav Maharaj but found a way and to reap the rewards today was really pleasing.

    "I've moved further across my stumps and so anything outside the eye line I can leave alone."

  6. 'One of the best days of my life'

    England batsman Dom Sibley, who made his maiden Test century, on Sky Sports: "It's one of the best days of my life. I was a bit nervy of 95 when I edged Rabada through the slips, but then I managed to get one away off Maharaj."

  7. I still can't believe we got a tweet from Mollie King.

    Nigel Heaton: Interesting day tomorrow. Need an extra vigorous football match during the warm ups to make sure we're ready. Batters vs bowlers?

  9. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent in Cape Town

    England are going to have to start tomorrow with a bang. What they must not do is really go out searching for wickets. You've got to relax and bowl. All the pressure is on the batsmen.

  10. More from Dean Elgar: "We need two or three guys to grind it out. We have batters in the shed who can do that. We have to start well."

    I would be amazed if South Africa got 438 - it would need De Kock to go berserk. England are favourites because we know there's not much to come after Philander. A draw wouldn't be too far out.

  12. South Africa batsman Dean Elgar on Sky Sports: "It can go either way at the moment. The game is evenly poised. The wicket is playing nicely. It flattened out yesterday."

    On his dismissal: "I wouldn't waste a referral knowing I'd nicked it. It was an emotional time. Looking at the footage, I can still say I didn't hit it.

    "I'll reserve comments because I don't want to get into trouble. It is what it is."

  13. That's tomorrow's debate sorted.

    Jonny Meeson: Jimmy Anderson the best current sporting podcaster in the world. Go well.

    Credit to South Africa. It has been very interesting day. England completely bossed the first half of it and South Africa blunted the second.

    Anderson and Broad were under-employed - and it rather proved the point by Anderson getting that wicket. I just scratch my head sometimes.

    I count 8 blue ticks in-between the wickets. If we can get the whole England footy squad over night then that should be three wickets in the first over tomorrow?

    England are in a really good position. It was drifitng for a while, but Jimmy Anderson, the old pro, still has the ability. It was expert fast bowling. They should get the nightwatchman tomorrow, which will get them going.

  18. Michael Carberry
    Former England batsman on The Cricket Social

    Malan has looked very assured. His judgement outside off stump has been superb. He has done the job necessary for the team. He is going to have to play a major knock for South Africa to save this game.

  19. Close of play - SA 126-2

    Eng need 8 wickets

    That will do. A really good day of Test cricket that England dominated before South Africa battled.

    It is the tourists, though, who will return on the hunt for victory.

  20. SA 126-2

    England crowd Maharaj. Short leg. Slips and gully. Play and miss. One ball left in the day...
