Second Test, day four, Cape Town
If South Africa don't take the new ball, Ben Stokes might just lose the old one. He gets down low to slog sweep Maharaj for another six. He's on 26 from 16 balls. It took Sibley about 50 overs to get that far yesterday. Stokes is giving us a greatest hits of his knock here four years ago.
South Africa coach Mark Boucher has summoned Anrich Nortje, telling the fast bowler he's not ill enough to still be in the dressing room. We're still waiting for the new ball.

Have South Africa forgotten what Ben Stokes did here four years ago?

These are crazy tactics. Did South Africa see what Ben Stokes did at Headingley?
Unbelievable batting. What on earth has Ben Stokes had for breakfast?
First, Pretorius is plonked over long-on for six. Glorious stroke, picking it up from a good length.
Next ball, incredibly, Stokes reverse sweeps for four. A reverse sweep!
Might be time for that new ball, Faf.

Sibley 87, Stokes 5
I've been thinking all night of how best to describe what it is like to watch Dom Sibley bat. I came up with depressing, but in an enjoyable way. Like listening to an album from The National. He tickles Maharaj fine for a couple.

I don't understand the tactics from South Africa here. The new ball has been effective in both games and the only chance they have of winning this Test is bowling England out quickly and batting really well to chase down around 300.
And South Africa have two brilliant new ball bowlers! But they are bowling the change bowlers with the old ball.
Anrich Nortje, South Africa's nasty fasty, is not on the pitch. He's ill. If there was ever an England tactic to pass on their lurgy to the South Africans, it's finally worked. That might be one reason why the second new ball is being delayed. If control is all part of the home plan, a Pretorius half-tracker doesn't help. Stokes' pull for four is as brutal as Ricky Gervais' opening monologue at the Golden Globes.

England want South Africa to be batting just after tea and going in with a negative mindset thinking there is no way we can win this Test.
I've no issue with Dom Sibley continuing to bat patiently. England have plenty of players down the order who can score quickly.
Lead by 265
The experiment doesn't quite work, because Maharaj only gets two deliveries at Stokes. It feels premature to be saying Dom Sibley has to prove he go through the gears. He's only had one decent knock. England have been crying out for someone this stodgy for years.

Lindsay Clayton: Been back at work since Thursday. Daughter is at Newlands! Not jealous at all...
Interesting. South Africa don't take the new ball right away. They let spinner Keshav Maharaj have a go at Ben Stokes, the left-hander with considerable rough outside his off stump.

It was brilliant from England yesterday. It was a setting-up day. You have to do the hard yards first - and they are in a fantastic position. All they need to realise now is how many overs they need to bowl South Africa out.
The travelling England fans sing Jerusalem and get a big round of applause from Chris Silverwood and Joe Root, who are down in the dugout. The night's rest has not given Pretorius any extra pace, but he is on the money. Sibley defends and leaves a maiden.
The aforementioned Dom Sibley is heading out there, joined by Ben Stokes, who arrives after nightwatchman Dom Bess fell to the last ball yesterday. Sibley will be on strike to Dwaine Pretorius, who might bowl one over before the new ball is due.
More from Graham Thorpe: "The one thing about Dom, which we knew, is his ability to concentrate. Also the simplicity of his technique - he leaves the ball well; he plays late. It's reminding him what his strengths are.
"When you're in the heat of the battle, get in the battle - use your strengths. Everybody saw what he was about yesterday - he's a strong character. Being strong-minded is a massively important thing in Test cricket. And he's very popular in the dressing room."

Sibley has faced 225 balls for 85 - it wasn't pretty but absolutely 100% he did his job yesterday. There will be times when he has to go quicker than that, and after he gets his hundred he will be expected to push on a bit.
What you don't want one batsman who is totally one-paced who is putting pressure on the others. Sibley has got to avoid that - he has got to show that when the team needs an injection of pace, he can provide it.
England batting coach Graham Thorpe on Sky Sports: "We're really pleased. It has put us in a strong positoin but not one where we're thinking miles ahead.
"It's a good lead and we want to be able to extend that. Managing the first hour is important. We hope by lunch we're still batting - still batting well - and then we can manage the situation."
