Steven Finn
Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialIt's lovely bowling from Robinson, that nagging full length and that horrible steep bounce he gets because of his release height. Ben Foakes has had another good game with the gloves.

Nortje c Foakes b Robinson 0 (SA 179-9)
The new ball strikes again!
It's a nervy sort of push from Anrich Nortje to Ollie Robinson, and Ben Foakes is lying in wait to take the almost inevitable edge.
One more needed for England...

James Anderson, who has never picked up a five-wicket Test haul at Old Trafford, has 3-30 and there are two South Africa wickets left...

Vernon Philander
Former South Africa bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialIt was only a matter of time for Kagiso Rabada, he was found out. A big booming drive has done for him and England are two wickets away from an emphatic win.

Rabada c Root b Anderson 2 (SA 178-7)
England are on the verge of victory!
Back-to-back beautiful deliveries from James Anderson and it's the second one that does the trick. A loose shot from Kagiso Rabada, pushing away from his body, and a thick outside edge goes flying to Joe Root at first slip.

Maybe a good omen - our first daughter was born on Boxing Day 2019 when England were playing the first Test in SA. England eventually won the series having lost the first Test. Daughter 2 was due three days ago and my wife's waters broke last night...

Vernon Philander
Former South Africa bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialHe went hard at it and it flew to Ollie Pope. Ollie Robinson is in the action! This is a new-ball wicket and England have struck twice with the brand new cherry.

Maharaj c Pope b Robinson 2 (SA 175-7)
Another wicket! And Robinson has his second. Maharaj pokes outside off stump, a thick edges flies to fourth slip, where Pope takes a sharp catch. South Africa are fading and England are three wickets away.

Robinson is going to share the new ball duties.

Vernon Philander
Former South Africa bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialThis wicket looked misleading on day one when we got here. We thought the spinners would get into the game but they're not a threat in the game at all so far.
There are two whole days left yet, of course...not that we see too many Tests go to the fifth day.

Kieran: Jimmy Anderson is super human, pass it on.
James Anthony: Lights on, overcast conditions and Jimmy bowling with a new ball from the end named after him. I am watching a legend at work and I have goosebumps. Test match cricket, eh?

Former South Africa bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialEngland are edging closer! They take the new ball and Jimmy Anderson makes the breakthrough straight away. It's one thing batting time but you have to score runs as well or you are under the pump.

Harmer b Anderson 16 (SA 172-6)
Anderson with the new ball has done the trick!
He clean bowls Harmer with the second delivery of the new ball.
The Old Trafford crowd celebrates.

The new ball's been taken and it's James Anderson with it.
