So after an intriguing first day of play, England have a slender advantage over the tourists and it is set up nicely for day four.

With the women's T20 soon to begin, you can read Stephan Shemilt's match report from the day's play here.

You can also watch highlights of today's play on Today at the Test, which is on BBC Four and BBC iPlayer now.

We will be back with you from 10:30 BST tomorrow to bring you all the action from day two. Thank you for joining us.

More from England bowler Stuart Broad, speaking to Sky Sports: "We are very comfortable chasing. Our mindset is we need to play in a way that gives us the best chance of taking 20 wickets and we think bowling first we get 20 wickets we win the game. If we bowl again tomorrow and put the South Africa batters under pressure we will be batting on a day three Oval pitch, which is arguably the best time to bat.

"We want a result in this game, we don't want a draw and so we play in a style that will create a result and after day one we are looking at a win or a loss, and in our mind it will be a win."

On drawing level with Glenn McGrath on 563 Test wickets: "He's a hero of mine. I feel like I don't really deserve to be in that category alongside him. He played a lot less games and is one of the best players of all time in my opinion. It would be very special to hopefully get one more and join my mate Jimmy [Anderson] in a 1-2 in that list of seamers, that would feel pretty good."

It starts at 19:30, but our live text is up and running.

England took the lead with Ollie Pope's 67 steadying the innings, but when he was dismissed by Kagiso Rabada, South Africa started to get themselves back into the game.

England bowler Stuart Broad, speaking to Sky Sports: "To walk down those steps [before the start of play] every single player commented on how special it was, you could hear a pin drop, The respect shown by everyone in the stadium was incredible. To then be able to sing the national anthem in front of a full house as you are about to represent your country was brilliant.

"I'm really glad whoever it was decided to play this game. It felt like a celebration of the Queen's life today and it felt food to be out there represent the badge like we did."

Harry Brook started his Test career with a couple of pleasant boundaries before he became Marco Jansen's fourth wicket.

England started their innings at a good rate, but Marco Jansen stood out for South Africa, taking the wickets of both openers and the big wicket of Joe Root.

There is the official confirmation that there will be no more play today because of the bad light.

Stuart Broad chipped in with four wickets of his own as England took an early advantage in the three-day Test.

It has been a day for the bowlers.

Ollie Robinson got England off to the ideal start by taking the first wicket of Dean Elgar, before going on to take his second Test five-for, finishing with 5-49.

It was a fine spell of bowling that helped England bowl South Africa out for just 118.

England have a narrow lead of just 36 runs with three wickets remaining.

17 wickets have fallen in one day.

The umpires have decided that it is too dark, and the players come off for bad light. It is likely that is the end of play for today.

The umpires are conferring..

Ollie Robinson gets off the mark in fine style with a straight drive down the ground for three runs.

Well that was a funny old dismissal.

Ollie Pope batted very nicely for his 67 earlier before he was dismissed by Kagiso Rabada.

Ben Foakes just about survives another probing over from Anrich Nortje. The ball has just started to nip around a bit more under the lights.

Broad really gave that the full treatment, a terrific shot. He has such a good eye.

Stuart Broad gets the boundary he was searching for with a powerful drive down the ground. Kagiso Rabada is frustrated as he had bowled a really tidy over up until then.
