    I don't see De Kock being able to rein himself in against the seam bowlers as much.

  2. SA 203-5

    Van der Dussen 12, De Kock 21

    Dom Bess finds Quinton de Kock's outside edge but the ball drops short and wide of Ben Stokes at slip.

    How long will England persist with double spin?

    James Anderson is heading off the field, to be replaced by Jonny Bairstow.

    Is he going off to get ready to bowl? Or is he ill or injured?

  3. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent in Cape Town

    The Barmy Army are getting a bit frustrated. There are lots of flags waving but no wickets to see for it yet.

  4. Faf du Plessis is practising some leg breaks in the dressing room.

    "When I grow up, I want to be Joe Denly."

  5. SA 200-5

    Target 438

    Quinton de Kock rocks back to drive through the covers, where it's half-stopped, allowing the keeper to pick up a single that takes South Africa to 200.

    Yeesh. Rassie van der Dussen shoulder arms to one that raps him on the pads. That didn't pitch outside leg at all - big appeal from England. Not out.

    That was spinning on past off stump.

  6. Wonderful, Charlie. I can picture Anderson doing it.

  7. Waiting for a cricketer

    Text 81111

    Donned in Hampshire Hawks attire (a few years back), I asked Jimmy Anderson for an autograph at the Rose Bowl. He gave me a stern look and walked 50 yards to the two Lancashire lads in red to sign their caps. No messing around there.

    Charlie, Borough

  8. SA 199-5

    Dom Bess floats it up and Rassie van der Dussen goes after it for once, slicing the ball away off a very thick outside edge over the covers for a couple.

  9. Images of Andy Caddick as a gruff former detective touring service stations for clues into the crime he could never solve and still haunts him.

    Anyway.

  10. Waiting for a cricketer

    Text 81111

    I spotted former England quick Andrew Caddick at Keele services on the M6 a few years ago. Waited for an age for him outside WH Smith, and when he came out I held out a pen and stammered: "Are you Andrew Caddick?" He gave me a stern look, ignored the pen and gruffly replied: "I used to be, mate", before stropping off in the opposite direction. To be honest it nearly broke me.

    Former England bowler on The Cricket Social

    It's fair enough what they have done, but it's very unusual for England to have spin at both ends trying to win a Test outside of Asia. It's probably gone on a little too long now.

  12. SA 197-5

    "That's a good shot there, Denners," says Jos Buttler.

    And it is, a cracking drive from Quinton de Kock through the covers for four.

    Buttler is intimating that it's good for Joe Denly for De Kock to be attacking him.

  13. Get Involved

    Text 81111

    I can't agree with Ryan Sidebottom. With the series (hopefully) tied at 1-1, this is no time to 'rest' a seamer. A fit Archer represents a positive selection headache. England should select their best bowling attack to secure 20 wickets and win.

    Geoff, Gosport

  14. SA 193-5

    Eng need five wickets to win

    Rassie van der Dussen has no interest in scoring runs.

    He resolutely blocks out Dom Bess once again.

    This is about the halfway point in the day in terms of overs - 46 to come.

    South Africa have seen off 100 overs in this innings so far.

    Where's your money?

    I can really relate to Esther's plight... I'm trying to finish a university essay here. Currently working on a one sentence on, two over rest-break basis.

  16. SA 193-5

    De Kock puts that pea roller out of his mind and rocks back to smack a drag down from Denly through point for four.

  17. Phil Tufnell
    Ex-England spinner on The Cricket Social

    That's a daisy-cutter. A pea-roller. That's the one you want a batsman going back to. When there was that sort of rough, we used to say "put it in the omelette".

  18. SA 189-5

    Dearie me. Joe Denly gets the first ball after drinks to basically roll along the ground and hit Quinton de Kock very low on the front pad.

    Massive appeal but umpire Paul Reiffel says no.

    He'd just got his pad outside the line of off stump.

    Joe Root decides against the review.

  19. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician on The Cricket Social

    There have been no runs for the last 33 balls.

    The man seemingly gets everywhere.
