    Matthew Place: England 23-4 incoming.

  3. The roller is currently on the pitch, and South Africa's bowlers are going through some warm-up exercises.

    Likewise their slip cordon, who are just doing a few catching drills.

  5. Ollie Robinson got the first wicket after tea, with his first ball following the break.

    Arjun Singh: Credit to SA for staying in this match. 151 is a decent first innings score against our batters.

  7. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    England bowled well there, they have got their team in the driving seat you think. But with this batting line-up, you never know. You do feel the pressure when you are 1-0 down in the series.

  8. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    There was some late resistance there, but South Africa have been bundled out. That was a sharp catch by Root. England will get batting now, and we'll get to see if there are any scars from the previous Test.

    WICKET

    Rabada c Root b Leach 36 (SA 151 all out)

    Ollie Robinson gets through a quick over which Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi see off without much of note. One run from it.

    Second ball of Jack Leach's over and Rabada dances down the track and attempts to go over the top. But he edges the ball into Joe Root's hands at slip.

    South Africa all out for 151.

  10. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    You get the feeling every session in this Test match is going to be crucial. There's still quite some movement on this pitch, lots of cricket to be played today as well.

  11. SA 150-9

    A waft of the willow from Kagiso Rabada to Jack Leach's third ball and he slices it high in the sky towards cover, but the fielder is unable to make up his ground despite the dive.

    Lungi Ngidi blocks the next two.

    BadBardBared: So, Anderson still not taken a five-for in Tests at OT...

    George Speakman: Who would have thought that bowling at the stumps to tailenders gets wickets? Looks like the bowlers might have said something about the short ball tactics during tea...

  13. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    Rabada might just decide to have a pop at it. Quite a surprising decision, staying with Jack Leach.

  14. SA 147-9

    Shot of the day from South Africa no.11 Lungi Ngidi who drives his second ball from Ollie Robinson straight as a die down the ground. He holds the pose for good measure.

    Kagiso Rabada on strike to Jack Leach next over - he'll take on the left-arm spinner here surely?

  15. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport chief cricket writer at Emirates Old Trafford

    I passed Kagiso Rabada on the stairs during tea. In a 20-minute break he had got from the middle to the dressing room, taken off his pads and boots, nipped out of the dressing room, back, padded up and got back out there.

  16. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    I think this pitch might have just flattened out. England might want to get batting on it as soon as possible. They'd want to get out there, get some runs before the pitch starts doing something again.

    WICKET

    Nortje lbw b Robinson 10 (SA 143-9)

    All those overs of toil throughout morning and afternoon sessions have finally paid off for Ollie Robinson as he traps Anrich Nortje fairly plumb. It's hit him high on the pad but the ball tracking shows that was not missing anything.

    One to take.

  18. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    First ball, it's hitting leg stump I thought. Robinson has been brilliant today.

  19. Player review

    First ball after tea and Anrich Nortje is struck high on the back pad. He's given out on the field. Looks good this.

    Has Ollie Robinson got a wicket he deserves?

    Mark Burt: Given the potency of SA’s attack and England’s batting in the last Test they’ll think they’re well in this match with anything north of 160.
