    Ha, ha. Yes Jack.

    New bowler Marco Jansen's first delivery is short and wide and Leach slashes the ball away over backward point for four runs.

  2. Eng 152-8published at 41 overs

    Ooh, Kagiso Rabada is getting the ball to nip away from Matthew Potts as he twice beats the outside edge.

    Potts then runs out of patience and goes for a massive swipe but completely misses the ball, much to Rabada's disbelief.

    It was an unfortunate end to a fine innings by Ollie Pope, who really had to battle hard in testing conditions yesterday.

  4. Eng 150-8published at 40 overs

    Runs!

    Jack Leach edges one perfectly through a gap ion the slip cordon for a boundary that brings up England's 150.

    They all count.

    Jim Clarke: I suppose Mike Bell (11:17) was the team's ringer then?!

    Sarel Erwee will be relieved that Ollie Pope is now back in the hutch after his comedy drop earlier this morning.

  7. Eng 146-8published at 39 overs

    Kagiso Rabada is chasing a five-fer as his first delivery to Jack Leach fizzes past the outside of his bat.

    I don't think this will last very long.

    Ben: As bad as it sounds - 150 might be an OK first innings total on this wicket with these conditions. Depends if Jimmy and Broad can come out firing with that new ball under lights.

    Broad is now passing on some advice to Leach!

    It was so far away from Broad that he was almost sat down when he played it.

    What a very strange dismissal! Broad has, somehow, managed to scoop it straight to point, where Elgar took one of the quietest, low-key catches. I don't know how Broad managed to reach that. The crowd haven't even noticed.

    Broad c Elgar b Rabada 15 (Eng 145-8)

    It was fun while it lasted.

    Stuart Broad attempts to give himself some room but Kagiso Rabada fires it in wide, meaning Broad has to stretch and can only toe-end the bat straight to Dean Elgar at point.

    It took a few seconds for everyone to realise what had happened.

    In response to Mark's text (11:09), Anderson played with Stewart, who was part of the same England team as Graham Gooch, who played in the same side as John Edrich. Edrich made his Test debut in 1963.

    Broad is now giving Potts some batting advice. "If you're going to back away, do it properly!"

  15. Eng 143-7published at 38 overs

    It is not pretty, but it is effective.

    A wild swipe from Matthew Potts disappears over backward point and England can run two.

    Every run counts at the moment, no matter how they come.

    Broad could be dangerous, especially if Nortje doesn't get it quite right. He's played a lot of shots. You feel as though he should be 25 not out.

  17. Eng 141-7published at 37.2 overs

    Shot, Stuart!

    Stuart Broad has played a lovely backfoot drive through extra cover for four. That was lovely.

    The next shot is a messy pull down to long-on but England manage to scramble through for three.

    I don't think Matthew Potts will mind seeing it swinging, as that's what he'll be looking to do. He and Broad will realise there's a bit of movement and swing in the air for them.

    South Africa have their tails up as new batter Matthew Potts sees off four deliveries from Kagiso Rabada.

    The Proteas will be eyeing a swift end to this England innings.

    Well bowled, Rabada. Pope didn't get himself into a good position, but he has at least given England a sniff and something to bowl out. It could have been very messy yesterday.
