England are ahead! It's a streaky shot from Foakes, reaching outside off and getting an inside edge that wrong-foots Verreynne and scuttles away to the boundary.

Ben Foakes is off the mark with a clip through mid-wicket. A nice shot and they get back for three.
Those are the only runs from Nortje's latest. He's bowled five overs this morning. How many more before he needs to take a break?

Former England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialWe haven't seen much reverse swing this summer, but we are seeing some from this South Africa attack today. There hasn't been much short stuff from Anrich Nortje - he's bowled it all quite full looking for wickets.
Eng 147-5published at 37 overs
Maiden from Rabada as he goes at Stokes from around the wicket.
No sign of the England skipper charging here, that should tell you a bit about how good this bowling is. Stokes has charged anything and everything so far this summer!

Simon Mahon: Not sure inconsistency is the problem for Zak Crawley. It's that when he gets in he gets out without making a telling score.
Mark Burt: Against this SA attack a lead of 50 will be near miraculous. Genuine pace is such a game changer.

Nortje is really fired up this morning and has taken two big wickets in a little under 40 minutes this session.
England would do well not to take a first-innings lead from here but Nortje's efforts have gone a long way to limiting the home side's potential advantage.

Former England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialThat looked a peach of a delivery for me. It swung in and held its line. He's getting a little bit of swing and bowling at 90mph which is making it very difficult. Zak Crawley gets a round of applause, the biggest round of applause for a 38 in a long time. It was a gutsy innings. Has he turned a corner? There's no disgrace in that dismissal.

Crawley c Verreynne b Nortje 38 (Eng 147-5)
Beauty from Nortje. Not much Zak Crawley could do about that.
It's a good length delivery and the ball moves away late, at around 90mph, to take a thin edge through to the wicketkeeper.
There is a generous applause for Crawley from the Old Trafford crowd, they appreciate how hard he worked. He only made 38 but in staying there for 101 balls, he has really helped England's cause.

A really challenging over from Rabada but it also sees the best shot of Crawley's innings, the ball whipped through mid-wicket for four.
The ball before also brought a boundary, albeit a more edgy one. Crawley tried to withdraw his bat but he was a touch late on it and the ball went wide of gully and away for four.
The other two in the over came from a rare drive from Crawley, not timed but past mid-off for a couple.

Wicket maiden for Nortje as Stokes just about gets his bat on the last delivery. It stayed low and hit the toe-end of the England's skipper blade.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialJonny Bairstow has anticipated an inswinger and it's actually kept it's line. It just takes a very thin edge. This reverse swing bowling has been a little erratic but has produced a wicket.

Alison Mitchell
BBC Radio commentatorThat's a huge wicket for South Africa. Jonny Bairstow had a little dabble and he's gone for 49. That brings Ben Stokes - will we see the charger, coming down the track. It hasn't been a Test match for charging and thrashing cricket. Will he seek to change momentum, or seek to respect the bowling?

Bairstow c Erwee b Nortje 49 (Eng 134-4)
Edged and gone. Jonny Bairstow falls one short of his half-century.
That's a big wicket for South Africa. Anrich Nortje's pace had made the England pair look a little uncomfortable and it leads to a bit of a nothing shot from Bairstow.
The ball was swinging in but still wide of off and Bairstow just fiddled at it. The edge goes quickly to first slip and Sarel Erwee takes a sharp catch.
Eng 134-3published at 33 overs
Bairstow 49, Crawley 28
Bairstow drives the fifth ball of the over firmly through extra cover. It's not perfectly timed and Elgar is able to reel it in, three more to Bairstow.
A very good yorker ends the Rabada over and Crawley is just able to jab his bat down in time to keep it out.

Swing for Rabada but that just means the ball shapes nicely onto Bairstow's pads and he is able to whip it away to the boundary.
He split the two fielders in the deep with surgical precision.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialKagiso Rabada senses a vulnerability with the way Zak Crawley comes back and across, and is looking to get it between his bat and pad. The ball is starting to scuff up too and Anrich Nortje, meanwhile, has started to get it to reverse swing. Testing stuff for this pair.
Eng 127-3published at 32 overs
The ball is now 32 overs old but Nortje is finding as much swing - is it reverse? - as we have seen from either side in this game - at least to the naked eye.
He is bringing the ball back in to both Bairstow and Crawley. The stumps are very much in play.
