Ben Wire: Not worried. Quite fancy Jimmy to play skittles on this track.
JayRad: I still think England are well in this. That SA batting line up looks very brittle!

BBC Test Match SpecialThe card doesn't make for terrific reading if you're an England fan.

BBC Test Match SpecialUmpire Illingworth can raise his finger for the second time. He did so very quickly the first time and he was right to do so. It was plumb.
WICKETpublished at 45 overs
Anderson lbw Rabada 0 (Eng 165)
It has! It is five wickets for Kagiso Rabada. A place on the honours board is his!
He is hugged by his team-mates when the review came through on the big screen before walking off the field to warm applause
He ends with 5-52 from 19 overs and England are all out for 165 in exactly 45 overs.

BBC Test Match SpecialStruck on the pad and he's out first ball. It's five for Rabada, he celebrates but Anderson reviews.
England reviewpublished at 45 overs
Is this the moment? Kagiso Rabada traps James Anderson lbw first ball but Anderson reviews.
Eng 165-9published at 44.4 overs
There's warm applause for the old timer Jimmy Anderson as he makes his way to the middle.
Kagiso Rabada, who will surely never have a better chance of a five-fer at Lord's, bowls a beauty that just beats the outside edge of Matthew Potts' bat. The next ball finds a leading edge that squirts into the off side and lands not far from that seagull, who finally decided to move.
Rabada looks to the heavens.

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialJack Leach has scored some valuable runs. We're talking as if this is going to be a low-scoring game, you don't know until both teams have batted but England are convinced. Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow both think there is something in this pitch.

BBC Test Match SpecialBowled 'im! Big drive form Leach and one of his poles has been knocked out of the ground. A bit of a flurry from Leach but he's gone. Not a bad delivery, it's swung away a fraction.
WICKETpublished at 44 overs
Leach b Jansen 15 (Eng 164-9)
Stumps and bails flying everywhere.
Jack Leach goes for one big hit too many and Marco Jansen demolishes his off stump.
Leach goes for a spritely 15 from just 17 balls.

BBC Test Match SpecialBatting will be a test for South Africa, if England get it right, but you would rather be in the Proteas' position.
Eng 160-8published at 43 overs
Sensible batting from Matthew Potts as he sees off a maiden from Kagiso Rabada.
I've just seen a shot of a waiter serving champagne in one of the posh stands at Lord's
The Western Terrace it aint.

BBC Sport chief cricket writer at Lord'sI'm fascinated by the seagull sitting on the corner of the square Tavern Stand. Not walking, pecking or patrolling, simply sitting. It hasn't moved for ages and isn't bothered when the ball goes nearby. Its got the best seat in the house.

The wickets have continued to tumble this morning but the runs have not stopped flowing. Take this from Stuart Broad.
Lovely stuff.

BBC Test Match SpecialYou feel as though England want to score as many runs as they can quickly and then get bowling.
Eng 160-8published at 42 overs
Nothing wrong with that.
Jack Leach has played an uppish drive right off the middle of the bat and through the covers for four.
Leach has raced to 12 from 13 deliveries.
