Nothing doing from Ben Stokes so far.

Van der Dussen 14, De Kock 28
Put a silly point in, Joe, the runs don't matter.
SA 212-5published at 12:48 Greenwich Mean Time 7 January 2020
Joe Root continues to the left-handed Quinton de Kock and gets one to bit past the outside edge out of the rough.
That's the ball.
That isn't - drifting onto the pads and allowing De Kock to tap a single to get off strike.

James Anderson has somewhat gingerly made his way back out onto the field.

Daniel Johnson: Starting to worry now that SA will get this draw. Wicket is not doing enough and batsmen are standing strong. Need something just before tea.

Ben Stokes pushes it very full and Rassie van der Dussen does well to jam his bat down on it to push it off his toes.

James Anderson was not going off to get ready to bowl.
He's still off and it sounds like he may be suffering with illness.
He's bowled only one over with the second new ball.
Very far from ideal for England.

Ex-England bowler on The Cricket SocialThis is the right decision. Van der Dussen hasn't looked comfortable. It wouldn't surprise me if Stokes takes a wicket.

Ben Stokes is coming on to bowl.
Where did I put that 'he makes things happen' cliche klaxon?

I once took a helicopter ride from Somerset back to London and Mr Caddick much to my surprise was the pilot! He didn't speak much or sign my autograph either.
Richard, London .

Ex-England bowler on The Cricket SocialYou''ve got to change the bowling attack - mix it around; don't let the batsmen get used to the situation.

Target 438
Joe Denly drops very short and Quinton de Kock whips it out to deep mid-wicket for a couple.
De Kock then slices through third man for two more.
Ben Stokes looks to be getting loose.

Derek Pringle
Former England bowler on The Cricket SocialIt's worrying. Anderson came back late from the lunch break and he's gone off early for the tea break. He hasn't bowled all afternoon.

Hahaha. Joe Root bowls a bouncer at Rassie van der Dussen!
The Proteas batsman played it well through, rolling his wrists to rock it along the ground round the corner.

England turn to their third spinner in Galle, sorry, Cape Town.
Joe Root is bringing himself on.

I waited for Derek Pringle to sign an autograph in 1981. As he took my autograph book he handed me his beer and his cigarette saying "Hold that, don't drink it. Hold that, don't smoke it.' I did as I was told. I was 10.

Ex-England spinner on The Cricket SocialThat's the trouble for a captain. You see that and think 'I've got to keep this fella going'.
SA 204-5published at 105 overs
Oh my. Joe Denly gets one to fizz up at Quinton de Kock, almost like a bumper, and the South Africa keeper has to fend it down.
Denly bowling some really testing deliveries amid a bit of meh.
Would Matt Parkinson have been handy right about now?
