  2. So England start their response with a dropped catch, here's the catch that ended the South African total.

    That's another beautiful ball. Crawley was lucky not to edge it.

  5. Eng 6-0

    Target 130

    Alex Lees ran three from that dropped catch. It hit Marco Jansen on the wrists, he didn't time his attempt at all. What a start to the England reply.

    Zak Crawley also has a bite at one outside his off stump before clumping one through point for three more.

    It was a lovely ball from Rabada. It really did bounce sharply.

    Not an easy chance, but Jansen got two hands to it so he should definitely have caught it.

  7. dropped catch

    Lees dropped on nought

    Kagiso Rabada takes the new ball for South Africa and almost strikes first ball! A thick edge from Alex Lees is shelled in the slips by Marco Jansen!

  8. Alex Lees and Zak Crawley are in the middle while the groundsman still trundles over the square on his roller. England keen to get going.

  9. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    They have got to be wary of how well Marco Jansen and Kagiso Rabada bowled.

  10. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    There is absolutely no guarantee about what we are going to see from England's batters.

  11. It's been another day of vintage Broad and Anderson for England. Branderson on song. Here's how Keshav Maharaj was dismissed.

  12. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    The bowling has been so skilful throughout and overall it's just been too much for any of the batters to withstand.

  13. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport chief cricket writer at the Kia Oval

    That leaves 130 to get in about 100 minutes. Possibly 25 overs. Five an over. Too much for tonight?

  14. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    30 wickets have fallen in just 129 overs.

  15. England will have just over an hour of play, you'd think. With the light we're looking at play ending around 18:30 BST ish tonight. England need 130 to win, South Africa 10 wickets.

  16. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    It's unlikely that England will get the 130 runs tonight. You would think the light will come into play again.

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Verreynne c&b Anderson 12 (SA 169 all out)

    Kyle Verreynne tries to smash James Anderson into central London and can only manage a top edge that goes a mile into the sky. Anderson does well to adjust, get under the ball and take a comfortable catch to sew up the innings.

  18. SA 169-9

    Lead by 129

    Alex Lees and Zak Crawley will be turning their thoughts towards opening the batting now as Anrich Nortje comes out as last man for South Africa. Stuart Broad is conducting the crowd as he hustles in - Nortje leaves it easily though.

  19. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    That was a beauty, just kissing the top of the bails.

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    Maharaj b Broad 18 (SA 169-9)

    Bowled him! Stuart Broad gets one to just nip back a touch and finding the very top of the bails. The dangerous-looking Maharaj departs.
