    Mark: Why is it when a tailender comes to crease England seem to be intent on knocking their block off instead of trying to get them out normally? They can’t play that well hence they’re down there!

    Maharaj has ducked everything, he hasn't been tempted at all to take on the short ball so England have changed tactics.

    Lead by 51

    A pull from Maharaj is fielded in the shade of the media centre by James Anderson.

    There are some slightly weary legs out there for England. They just need to keep going but with the extended sessions, after the rain yesterday, these are long days.

    Here's how Stuart Broad struck a little earlier.

  6. SA 214-6published at 65 overs

    Oh, another thick edge from Marco Jansen goes flying through the yawning gap at second slip...

    Stuart Broad, who never takes being hit for a boundary in the best humour, shakes his head in annoyance.

    It feels like the game is back on here. But South Africa might still back themselves to get a lead of 100.

  8. SA 211-6published at 64 overs

    Lead by 46

    Marco Jansen plays an awkward little shot and somehow gets the ball right through where second slip should be and away for a single.

    Jack Leach is off and Matthew Potts is on.

    England have decided not to give Maharaj anything in his own half. This is an opportunity for England, they didn't bowl their best to start with but they've dragged it back.

  11. SA 210-6published at 63 overs

    Keshav Maharaj is the new batter for South Africa, who have a lead of just 45 and a rather lengthy tail.

  12. Postpublished at 18:00 British Summer Time 18 August 2022

    South Africa have lost their last four wickets for 50 runs since tea.

    It's, er, not ideal.

    He's got him, he played at one just outside off stump rather tentatively. It's Broad's 100th Test match wicket at Lord's.

    Verreynne c Foakes b Broad 11 (SA 210-6)

    That's 100 Test wickets at Lord's for Stuart Broad!

    Kyle Verreynne pushes forward and gets the faintest of edges through to Ben Foakes, who throws the ball up in the air as Broad goes charging away in celebration.

    Leach spun the ball quite a lot early in his spell but not so much lately.

  16. SA 210-5published at 62 overs

    Lead by 45

    It feels like the ball hasn't spun half as much for Jack Leach since England got it changed a few overs ago.

    Kyle Verreynne, meanwhile, skips down the pitch and smacks the ball over the top and away for a couple of runs.

    Ben Stokes never gives up.

    The last half session of the day, it is going to be a crucial one for both teams. England need wickets, South Africa need runs. Which way is it going?

  19. SA 206-5published at 61 overs

    Stuart Broad has his hands on his head as Kyle Verreynne flicks a full delivery off his pads and away for a single.

    He's even more unimpress when he fails to field the ball in his follow through and ends up gifting South Africa a sneaky single.

    There's a nice early evening feel at Lord's, conditions are far nicer than they were yesterday.
