SA may have prevented an England victory by winning the toss. Putting on a good score which may be tough for England to emulate on this pitch now.

Murray 1 set all, but has now broken Sousa twice in third set. Murray is so fast and wins balls he has no right to reach.

Apparently Andy's father-in-law, Nigel Sears, has collapsed while watching Ana Ivanovic, who he coaches. That match has been suspended and Andy Murray is unaware of what's happened.
 
SA 475 all out. De Kock finishes on 129 no.

Disappointing lack of sniggering in the TMS commentary box when they kept going on about the difficulties England were having getting de Kock out. Brian Johnson will be turning in his grave...

Haha, yes. I thought Vaughan was on particularly good form this morning:

"de Kock is going hard now"
"It's the positioning of de Kock I'm most impressed by."
"If it's full de Kock will be coming this way."
 
This match is a little worrying. The pitch is starting to misbehave already. I think England may need to bat all day tomorrow and into Monday. Either that or blow the South Africans away in the second innings again.

Puck , take a bow Agnew says " England may need to bat all day tomorrow and into Monday " .( after you said it ) .
 
Root, Taylor and Bairstow gone in quick time. Brilliant bowling by Rabada. 5-76 for him. England 211/6.
