[Mellotron]

Key session now.

It is drizzling...

TRJ goes for 25
316-8

It seems to be an innings of getting in then getting out.
Westley, Root, Bairstow, TRJ all in the 20s/30s.

We have scrambled to a reasonable score that should mean we will hopefully leave them chasing a total in the 4th innings or if the gods are with us after following on, if we can get another 50 or even hopefully 80 runs.

Broad gone. 331/9.

Can Anderson hang around long enough for Stokes to reach his ton...?

Given the conditions, I'd say England are comfortably ahead.

Not sure myself, I thought it may have been the bat hitting the pad for the spike on ultra edge, but who cares, 1 down

That's put SA in the driving seat, it's not proper test cricket. Fans will be disappointed and his team mates will be lived.

What a Car Crash! A bit unsporting of Jimmy not to let TRJ get all five, but I'm sure he will be on the Honours Board very shortly.

No wonder De Villiers decided to sit this series out; it could be over tomorrow.

68/7

I reckon England have just got their noses in front.
