Well played, Pieter Malan. A half-century on debut. He's come into this match with a lot of first-class experience behind him and he looks like he knows his game. He's been composed and compact. At the moment, he is proving to be a considerable obstacle to England.

Mmm. Don't mean to be rude but maybe we need an A list celeb to remove the top order. Leave the retired snooker players for the tail?

Malan 49, Hamza 12
Tommy Banks once brought the king of all pork pies to the TMS box. It had layers and everything. It was the size of a cake.
Pieter Malan is approaching a half-century, but that doesn't stop him from getting into a tangle against this Ben Stokes bouncer. He tries to sway, but the ball keeps coming and hits him on the chest. Malan won't mind that, he's built like a scrum-half. Biceps like hams.

Mollie must have some Strictly friends she could rope in, too?
I'd be very excited if we could get Craig Revel Horwood involved.

This is getting serious. That is the presenter of the Radio 1 breakfast show. How many listeners each day? And he's mates with Jimmy Anderson. How do we top that? Bono? Madonna?
Time for drinks.

Malan is underneath a sleeveless, cable-knit sweater. You known the kind. A proper cricket jumper. He chews his gum and plays defensively behind a front arm that sports a white sweat band. Just the no-ball from over. "One more tonight, boys," says an England voice.

You don't need a computer to tell that's a no-ball!
If you're saying we've never heard of you, that make the 'celebrity' status tricky. Having heard of you is the definition.
But you're actor, so we'll put you on the 'maybe' pile.
Here's Ben Stokes. He's already had a brilliant day. His first delivery is a massive no-ball, rightly called.

Stephen Grant counts, because if you put his name into Google the first thing that appears is "Stephen Grant comedian"'.
This is tricky for England. Bess is holding an end, but is holding an end actually what they want at the moment?
We haven't seen James Anderson since tea.

Greg? Are you with us?
Someone claiming to be Steve McFadden from Eastenders has text us. I really want to believe that it is him.
Pieter Malan has looked the part on debut. Remember, he's only in the side because Aiden Markram has a broken thumb. Then again, he has got 10,000 first-class runs to his name. Through some dark stubble, he takes a single from the final delivery of Broad's over.

Surely Greg James has a blue tick, & he will definitely be following this?

Matt Allwright! From Rogue Traders! This is magnificent. Good to see you, Matt.
Also, it potentially means that we can now expand the public service remit. Not only can you follow the cricket, but you can also let us know if you think you've been ripped off.
Too short from Bess, allowing Malan to punch through the off side for two, then three.

Excellent thinking. If it means Stuart Broad gets a wicket, surely we can get Mollie King to use the hashtag #bbccricket. She is part of the BBC family, after all. As it is, with no tweet from Mollie, Malan safely negotiates this Broad over.
