England managed to rile up Anrich Nortje at Lord's by bowling plenty of short stuff at him. It's fair to say that the South African had the last laugh. Will the home side learn from that?

Tom Reed: I have tickets for day four. Woke up this morning hoping England could hold on long enough for me to see some play on Sunday. Now I'm more concerned we could have won it before that!

After all that plugging away and appeals from Stuart Broad, finally a genuine edge. It was an ankle-high catch which didn't carry too high but Ben Foakes got down to it. This doesn't feel like 100 odd for eight pitch to me, though.

Stuart Broad will continue after drinks from the Brian Statham End after drinks.

Time for some H20, istonic energy drink or perhaps something stronger.

It's a genuine outside edge, but you can tell from the reaction of the players that it has not quite carried. There is an insight here for England's batters that if you can get to 30 odd overs with a few wickets in hand there are runs to be hand. The tough thing will be getting past South Africa's bowling attack.

A couple of moments of encouragement for England in Anderson's latest.

First up, a short ball to Rabada that is pulled, but without much control, and the ball hangs in the air before falling well short of deep backward square.

Anderson then goes fuller, beats Verreynne on the outside edge third ball and finds the edge fourth. This time, though, the ball bounces a fair distance in front of Zak Crawley at second slip. Time for drinks.

England needed to bounce back and start this Test match quickly given how things panned out at Lord's, and they have certainly done that so far.

There's not much to cheer for South African supporters to reach 100. It ball hasn't done much since lunch, and the sun came out. But James Anderson has been right on it.

SA 103-7published at 36 overs

36 overs

Verreynne 20, Rabada 6

The 100 comes up for South Africa with a chop down to third man from Verreynne.

A further three singles follow in the Broad over and that is more than England are happy with, they try to get the ball changed at the end of the over. The rings are out, the umpire checks and the ball is fine.

Anderson starts the over with a bouncer that Rabada is able to duck under with ease.

A fuller ball is punched firmly through the covers by Rabada, a nice shot from the left-hander to add two to the total.

Stuart Broad will bowl the next over.

Kyle Verreynne is the last recognised batter for South Africa but he needed a review to keep himself in the middle.

He missed the ball by a mile but was given out caught behind. Thankfully, in the era of DRS, the error was swiftly overturned.

Stuart Broad will be aching to get that ball back in his hand now we are down to the South Africa tail.

Robinson, too, is using the bumper as a surprise ball. With a bit of movement still on offer, it's good to see the England's seamers are still trying to bring the slip cordon into play.

One short ball does get Rabada in a bit of a tangle but he's able to fend it away behind square on the leg side for the only run of the over.

Umpire Chris Gaffaney, at square leg, walks in with the bowler, as if he's fielding. Quite menacing.

Good news everyone, we've reached the stage where England are going to start testing the lower-order out with bouncers.

With Anderson bowling, it is not going to be every ball but even he sends a couple down in the over - one to Rabada and one to Verreynne.

All about Steve: I hope they name one of the ends "The Old Trafford End" once work on the Jimmy Anderson Stadium is completed.

There's a clear gap between bat and ball, Rabada survives. The left-hander hit his own pad and the ball was incredibly close to off stump as well. I don't think it actually brushed the timbers, though.
