You'll remember that Dom Sibley was caught off a no-ball, playing a very similar half-cut shot in the first innings. It's neither one thing nor the other. He's not hitting the ball, or guiding it to the ground. Something to work on. In case you're wondering, tea is as 13:10 GMT and play can go on all the way to 16:00 GMT. By that time, we'll have fixed the fridge and taken questions on other household problems.

There's a lot of headaches for Faf Du Plessis - and he doesn't need more of those - as he starts to run out of bowlers.

Pretorius has some green tape on his right elbow. Of bigger concern is the injury to his little finger he sustained trying to take a catch on day one. Apparently the cut was deep he could see the bone. It makes feel funny just thinking about that kind of stuff. Sibley goes after a wide one, steering it just wide of gully for four. Temba Bavuma the fielder. A taller man would have been in business.

I know there's loads of stuff you get mail order these days. Meals, socks, shaving gear, beer. But I refuse to believe there is such thing as a fridge subscription service. Two slips and a gully, as well as a shortish mid-off as Hendricks bowls to Sibley. When the batsman is hit on the back pad, there's an appeal, but it's pitched outside leg and missing off. Lot loads going for it.

Firstly, the grass banks in the UK would probably have to be 3G. Also, every person I ever see going to a Test in this country is usually armed with enough kit to keep an army moving for three months. A picnic blanket/towel/Persian rug to sit on will definitely be in there. Dwaine Pretorius replaces Dane Paterson, nipping one back to cut Dom Sibley in two. Almost an inside edge.

That sounds like a faff (Du Plessis), especially in the middle of the night. Then again, I have a child that doesn't sleep, so there's usually someone awake. Dom Bess, omitted for this Test, lounges on the boundary edge, using some kit bags as pillows. For the next little while, it may be that the match continues, but the contest is on hold.

The Basil D'Oliveira Trophy sits proudly on the boundary edge, probably preparing itself to head back to the UK in Joe Root's luggage. More than five overs into his spell, Paterson is just showing signs of tiring, erring on to Sibley's pads and conceding four leg byes. There's still sign of Vernon Philander.

I'm not for one second having it that taking a hairdryer to the back of a fridge is a good idea. Sounds like an accident waiting to happen. However, in all of this, I do feel slightly emboldened by my recent success of fitting a washing machine. On the subject of temperature control, Zak Crawley is batting is a sleeveless sweater. He must be roasting.

Ross Jackson: Top tip for defrosting a freezer - take the back off and use a hairdryer to melt the ice, have plenty of tea towels on hand, good luck and Godspeed....

The Paterson-Sibley battle continues in the sunshine, the bowler pulling all sorts of angry faces at the young opener in his follow-through. Just one from the over. South Africa might wish they have picked a spinner.

Not Stephie. Never, ever Stephie.
