  1. SA 148-8

    Keshav Maharaj has four 50s in Tests to his name so is a useful batter on his day. How his side could do with some plucky late runs.

  2. Vic Marks
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    That was probably missing leg stump but there is definitely still plenty of swing for England.

  3. SA 146-8

    Jimmy Anderson then to bowl after tea. How soon could this innings be wrapped up? Kyle Verreynne squirts one away for a single before new man Keshav Maharaj is rattled on the pads with an inswinger.

    There's half an appeal but it's not out, England don't have any reviews left, of course.

  4. Vic Marks
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    It's a pretty horrible dismissal. Rabada won't want to watch that again. His feet haven't moved at all.

    WICKET

    Rabada c Brooks b Stokes 0 (SA 146-8)

    Well that's a fairly odd dismissal! Ben Stokes serves up a bit of a half volley that Kagiso Rabada just edges into the slips. He hits the pitch with his bat at the same time so at first it looked and sounded like a bump ball. But no, another wicket to the England captain.

  6. Alison Mitchell
    BBC Test Match Special

    Rabada is not moving. Was it hit into the ground?

  7. Umpire review

    Is this out straight away?

  8. Vic Marks
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    England's bowlers have been so skilful with the swinging ball. It will be interesting to see how much it continues to move around during this evening session.

  9. SA 146-7

    Kagiso Rabada is the new batter for South Africa, it will be interesting to see how the batting side approach this session now. Dig in or come out swinging?

  10. Here come the umpires. Sandwiched up, we're ready to go again.

  11. If the start of the next session mirrors the start of the day England will skittle the tourists for 150 all out in a matter of minutes. Anyone got day five tickets?

  12. Afternoon everyone. Still a cracking day in the sun at the Oval and a Test match that has had the lot.

    This is how you end a session, by the way.

  13. That was a wonderful session that swung one way and then the other.

    South Africa looked to have battled their way through a tricky spell and were poised to build a healthy lead. But a flurry of wickets in the final half an hour has England believing they can bowl the Proteas out for less than 150.

    Will they do it? Here to guide you through the evening session is Tom Rostance.

  14. Wiaan Mulder and Khaya Zondo then dug in, but England stayed patient and Ollie Robinson removed them both in quick succession to leave South Africa on 133-6.

  15. The session started with some vintage bowling from England's old stagers Stuart Broad and James Anderson.

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

    South Africa will still believe they can bowl England out for less than 150. The scores have been low all game, the pitch is still favouring the bowlers and they've got to keep believing.

    But we know England will back themselves to chase anything.

  17. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    Oh I say, that has jagged back an absolute mile and taken out leg stump.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Jansen b Stokes 4 (SA 146-7)

    Not that his limp is bothering him!

    Ben Stokes does look uncomfortable as that troublesome knee looks to be giving him some bother again. But he has come up with an absolute beauty of an inswinger to zip through the gate and send Marco Jansen's leg stump cartwheeling into the air.

    A thrilling end to what was a fascinating session.

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

    Stokes is limping.

  20. We will squeeze one more over in from Ben Stokes before tea.

    England will dearly love to snare another wicket here.
