Off you go, Jim. Get him off.

He's bowled that at 75mph - that's my arm ball.

The thing with risking James Anderson's fitness is that it would be worth it if he was posing a threat. I'm not sure he's made Van der Dussen play at all since tea. The pace is down at 75mph too. He looks a shadow of himself. It's probably best for all concerned that this spell comes to an end.

I think Joe Root has done alright. Losing James Anderson is a big hole in your bowling line-up.

To explain the overs left. When we get down to 15 to go, we'll start the last hour. In that we'll have 15 overs or 60 minutes, whichever comes last. So, if England are quick enough to bowl more than 15 in the hour, they can. If not, it's 15 and done. The last hour is also when the draw can be agreed.

Now then, this is very funky. Sam Curran bowling medium pace to a club-cricket field. Slip is one of seven catchers, but only one that you call conventional. Leg gully, two short covers, three more men in front of the bat on the leg side. Jos Buttler is up to the stumps, too. They aren't there just for the catch, but to get De Kock out of his bubble. Two boundaries to third man suggest that De Kock's bubble is unburst.

I'm afraid that is an unfit bowler. It's clear to anybody watching that he's not fit. And if that's the case he shouldn't be bowling.

If he keeps going, he's going to make his injury considerably worse.

He's not following through properly. He's at 70-80%.

It's too wide from Jimmy. It might all be part of a clever set-up, but there's no real sign of that. After every ball, he turns quickly and heads back to the top of his mark. He puffs out his cheeks and shakes his head. It's hard to tell if there's something wrong, because his default state is grumpy. There are a minimum of 30 overs left in the Test.

Player welfare is first and foremost. They wouldn't let Anderson bowl if he had a real problem with his side.

Everyone has their fingers crossed that James Anderson won't do something here that endangers his career.

If it is a side niggle and it became a side strain, that would take a long time to come back from.

The players are back out. Rassie van der Dussen - 105 balls for 17 - is on strike.

James Anderson, injured or not, has the ball.

Tom Tom: Just like at the football, when you got for a wee, you always miss a goal. Well I've tactically scheduled my bladder to need the toilet five times between now and the close of play. Those wickets will fall!!

More on the "injury" reports surrounding Jimmy Anderson. Nothing official from England, but we are hearing that he may have a side niggle. But he is currently on the edge of the boundary loosening up so we may see him at least having a go post-tea.

Tom Burridge: Wife and I were looking at a last minute trip to San Francisco to see the NFL playoffs this weekend. Lots of debate about should we or shouldn't we. If England win, I'm booking it...

He also came into the office the other day proudly declaring he'd had a bash at making his own vinaigrette dressing.

If I didn't work with him, I'm not sure we'd be mates.

My gaffer, Justin, has just said he'll hold his breath for one-minute intervals until England break this partnership.

He's revealed he used to do it on long drives in order to pass the time.

I wouldn't advise you copying many things that Justin does.

Thanks, Jack.

Let's make something quite clear. This is going to take an effort from every single one of us.

So, if you're not doing your bit to help England's cause in this last session, you need to take a good look at yourself.

I'll need evidence that you're pulling your weight. Standing on one leg, singing Jersualem in the office, telling the teacher you won't learn those French verbs until England take a wicket.

Go.

What is it about the second session in this Test?

Yet another afternoon that seems to have drifted. All the excitement in the morning and evening.

Are we in for a dramatic finish?

Cricket South Africa has reiterated its commitment to transformation following some controversy over here around the selection of the side for this game. Black African hero Temba Bavuma was omitted from the side with Pieter Malan and Rassie van der Dussen playing instead.

During tea on The Cricket Social I’ll be speaking about the issue with two leading South Africa cricket writers, Telford Vice from Cricbuzz and Firdose Moonda from Cricinfo.
