    Oh Jimmy Jimmy.

    Maharaj survives. Anderson is serenaded by the England fans. Can Sam Curran send England to the close with one more?

    That wicket at least partly belongs to Aggers. As Jimmy was running into bowl he turned to me and said: "What a grim afternoon this has been."

  4. SA 123-2

    The Barmies sing Anderson's name. Keshav Maharaj is the nightwatchman. We're pretty sure there will be one more over after this one. Will Maharaj get that far?

    Finally, from nowhere, a wicket. He has pushed it outside off stump and Buttler has taken a very good catch low down to his right. The Barmy Army are cheering. You have to wonder where Anderson has been for so long.

    WICKET

    Hamza c Buttler b Anderson 18 (SA 123-2)

    James Anderson strikes! The reverse does it, just moving away from Zubayr Hamza to take the edge en route to the gloves off Jos Buttler. England's toil is rewarded. Late, late in the day, they get a big boost.

    Curran is using that hint of reverse to get the ball to move away from the right-handers. He's round the wicket, wide on the crease, with one or two just too wide to have Malan interested in playing. There may be some confusion in how many overs are left. One scorecard is saying two, another saying one. Let's see how this plays out....

    I've got a good idea. Let's get rid of the fifth day.

    It is Sam Curran. He'll bowl the final over from the Wynberg End. Look out for the crack....

    Jimmy looks to be getting a bit of reverse swing. I can't believe it has taken so long to get a bowler of the calibre of Jimmy Anderson into the attack. Very odd tactics.

  11. SA 122-1

    It's reversing. Anderson is just finding a little bit of tail back into the right-handed Malan. That might be the reason why Sam Curran is getting loose at mid-off. Anderson tears in, but the bat of Malan is as wide as a door.

    According to the Twitter help centre, their verified account program (blue tick) is currently on hold. Is the cause of the diminished power to take wickets of your received blue tick tweets? (cause and effect)

    James Anderson is summoned for a last push. He'll have two overs to bowl.

  14. Adam Mountford

    England fans, don't give up hope of a late breakthrough. Remember, a wicket has fallen here to the final ball of play on the last two days - Maharaj dismissed by Anderson at the close of day two and Bess caught behind off Nortje last night.

  15. SA 122-1

    It might be that Zubayr Hamza has worked this out. Much more comfortable in this over, including getting off strike with a single to mid-on. It might be that both sides are happy to see the close now. Regroup, go again tomorrow. This pair have put on fifty. I'd love it if we got more celeb...

  16. SA 119-1

    It's still Stokes. Four overs to go.

  17. Adam Mountford
    BBC Test Match Special in Cape Town

    Into the last half hour of play here at Newlands but the grass banks are still rammed. Probably a higher proportion of England fans at the ground today with many South Africans back to work. Will be interesting to see the makeup of the crowd tomorrow with all four results looking possible.

    Still Root, round the wicket and round arm. He has a towel poking from the back of his trousers, sending one so far down the leg side that leg slip Ben Stokes is the man who has to stop it. I just wonder if England will go spin from both ends to finish the day.

  19. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent in Cape Town

    We haven't seen much of that - the ball beating the bat. It just hit that crack and moved away. Anderson has bowled seven overs and Broad nine - I'm just wondering where the old campaigners are.

  20. SA 117-1

    Hamza has been ruffled. The Stokes bumpers have caused uncertainty, to the point he hangs the bat out to dry at a length ball outside the off stump. Lucky not to get an edge. Stokes scowls at the batsman. It's been a magnificent effort from the all-rounder, who has had a belting day. I wonder if that might be the end of his spell.
