    Trail by 92

    Stokes appeals for caught behind down the leg side but it deflects off of Verreynne's hip.

    Right on cue. The new ball is in the hands of umpire Mike Burns.

  2. SA 172-5published at 78 overs

    Trail by 92

    A maiden from Leach to Harmer. Stokes is going to continue. The last over before the new ball.

    Just a few overs until the long-anticipated new ball for England. It has been incredible stuf from Ben Stokes, with two big scalps. They have to believe they can bowl South Africa out tonight.

    It looked as though Ben Stokes was limping after finishing that over.

  5. SA 172-5published at 77 overs

    Trail by 92

    Stokes sets off again. England are in a good position in the game - it's just a question of when.

    Harmer clips a single to finish the over.

    Ben Stokes is going to keep going. When things are clicking he likes to keep going and bowl these marathon spells. And they're usually good ones. It's always tricky when you are captain to know when to stop.

  7. SA 171-5published at 76 overs

    Trail by 93

    Lees chases after a nice shot from Verreynne and keeps it to three runs.

    Jack Leach is coming on in place of Stuart Broad.

    Mark Puttick: Ben Stokes on to his 12th consecutive over. He's clearly desperate to overtake SF Barnes with whom he's tied on 189 Test wickets at the moment.

  10. SA 168-5published at 76 overs

    Trail by 96

    Harmer takes a quick single off Ben Stokes, who is into his 12th over.

    Stokes just touched his knee as the over ends. Slight niggle?

  11. SA 165-5published at 75 overs

    Trail by 99

    Five overs away from the new ball.

    Verreynne plays a nice shot off Broad but it's chased down by Bairstow.

    Where does Stokes get this energy from? It's quite remakable. He finds these balls from nowhere. England will try and get this done tonight if they can and level the series.

    Stokes has just done a complete somersault and gets up quite gingerly.

  15. SA 162-5published at 73 overs

    Trail by 101

    There's a new ball due in six overs but England will want to get this done as soon as possible.

  16. SA 162-5published at 73 overs

    Trail by 102

    Solid, crab-like defence from Simon Harmer against Stuart Broad, and that'll be a maiden.

    England will take the new ball when it's available but the old one seems to have been zipping through quite well for Ben Stokes...

  18. Postpublished at 16:37 British Summer Time 27 August 2022

    Ben Stokes makes things happen.

    He's also just accidentally walked into Ben Foakes. Happens to the best of us.

  19. SA 161-5published at 72 overs

    Trail by 102

    Simon Harmer ducks under a short ball from Ben Stokes, before a lovely little glide off the bat beats the close fielders and races away for four.

    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    Ben Stokes has two wickets in each innings plus a hundred in the match. Only one player for England has done that since Ian Botham in 1981, and that was Chris Woakes.

    The last player to score a century and take five wickets in a match was Mark Butcher in 2003...
