Sam Drury and Timothy Abraham

  1. Eng 39-2

    A little short from left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj and Joe Root is on to it in a flash, swivels and pulls it to the boundary for four.

    Effortless from the former England skipper.

    South Africa, straightaway, have put a fielder out at deep backward point for Joe Root. Dean Elgar seems to be far more risk averse than Ben Stokes and is trying to cut off a scoring area for Root.

  3. Eng 35-2

    Enter Joe Root... He's off the mark with a prod through the covers.

  4. Daniel Norcross

    Straight through him. A rapid delivery between bat and pad. A delighted Nortje is mobbed by his teammates.

  5. Steven Finn
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Nortje, in true Anrich Nortje style, celebrates that emotionally. He continues the theme from the first Test of going for runs and then taking wickets.

    WICKET

    Pope b Nortje 23 (Eng 34-2)

    Ollie Pope had dispatched Anrich Nortje for 12 in his last over, but first ball of the next over and he's bowled 'im.

    Pope was beaten for pace by one from Nortje which skipped on and bowled him through the gate. There was a feather of an inside edge on to it, perhaps.

    Nortje roars in celebration.

    Umpire's call on height, clipping middle stump.

  8. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    Maharaj loves it, the umpire doesn't. Elgar gives a rather gritty shake of the head.

    I'd like to see the HawkEye to see how high it was going because it was straight.

  9. Eng 34-1

    Left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj into the attack.

    He strikes Zak Crawley high on the back leg and appeals. There's a flicker of interest in a review, but Dean Elgar is not convinced.

    The ball-tracking shows it would have been umpire's call.

    A maiden to start with from Maharaj.

  10. Steven Finn
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    In a low-scoring game you can ill-afford to bowl people short wide ones to get them going.

  11. Daniel Norcross

    It went at great pace, second slip stuck out a hand but doesn't get anything on it. That has flown away. It was passed Simon Harmer in a hurry.

  12. Eng 34-1

    Back-to-back boundaries for Ollie Pope off Anrich Nortje's first two balls.

    Full from Nortje first up and Pope guides it down to the vacant third region. Next ball is short and wide and is given the full treatment.

    Final ball of the over and Pope drives and edges, but it falls just short of second slip and races away for four more. 12 runs from the over.

    Ngidi is not so silky as Rabada but he's strong and he's got a good repeatable action.

  14. Alison Mitchell
    BBC Radio commentator

    I last saw the trumpeter at Lord's after the ground finished early on the Friday and an impromptu game broke out on the Nursery Ground not long after.

  15. Eng 22-1

    Crawley 7, Pope 11

    Ollie Pope happy to work Lungi Ngidi around at the moment.

    The England trumpeter has belted out the theme tune from the Great Escape, which sparks the crowd into song.

  16. Vic Marks
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Crawley has looked good so far. He hasn't played and missed much, he's looked solid.

  17. Ollie Pope effortlessly leaned into this shot a little earlier for his first boundary.

    Marka27: Worth trying Ollie Pope as an opener? He's normally coming in after five overs so he basically already is.

  19. Eng 19-1

    Zak Crawley struck on the pad by Kagiso Rabada's first ball, but it's hit him outside the line. The South Africa fast bowler manages a smirk.

    A nice controlled cover drive from Ollie Pope off the final ball of the over and three more to England's total which allows him to keep the strike.

  20. Vic Marks
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    England only batted about 80 overs at Lord's. In two innings. Once you get through the new ball, this pitch looks quite accommodating but you've got to get through those first 30-35 overs. Then you might be in clover.
