43.5 to AD Hales, makes him play, and edges to slip! Hales has a little fiddle at a length ball, just outside off, and well held at second as de Villiers dives right across in front of first. Pretty sure it would have carried to Elgar at first. 129/2 | ||||||||||

67.5 to JE Root, maiden Test wicket for Morris! And he's earned that ... Root, just fishing a touch outside off, attempting a wristy steer through third man. And a thin edge to the keeper confirms that he has started 2016 as he finished 2015, with a sublime half-century that ended too soon .... 223/5 | ||||||||||

16.3 to AN Cook, what a catch! Will that spark South Africa? Full outside off, bring Cook forward as he drives, and Morris holds a blinder diving low to his left at third slip. That is a stunner from the debutant. Inches off the turf.. 55/1 55.2 to NRD Compton, picks out midwicket, on the stroke of tea! That's a huge moment. Rabada drops it in short, Compton quick onto it with a crunching pull - hit it sweetly - but doesn't quite keep it down and the catch is neatly taken by Bavuma.. 167/3 55.3 to JWA Taylor, edged and gone, and Rabada is on a hat-trick! Full and fast, Taylor aimed a loose drive and snicked through to the keeper! Wait ... is it going to be called back for a no-ball? Excruciatingly tight ... but the umpire gives the bowler the benefit of the doubt! Taylor was too eager to get involved, and went with hard hands at a quick and very well channelled delivery. 167/4 | ||||||||||

164.3 to F du Plessis, edged and gone! Faf has fluffed, and suddenly the contest has been transformed! A low edge to Stokes at third slip, the round-the-wicket angle inducing the nick, it was going down from the moment it left the bat but England's man of the hour was alert to the offering .... 439/5 | ||||||||||
| 34 | 8 | 94 | 2 | 2.76 | 159 | 14 | 0 | 2 | 0 | |
163.6 to HM Amla, bowled him! It took an absolute beauty as well! Exemplary line from wide on the crease, a fraction of nip with the hard new ball, bursting past a well-formed forward push and taking the inside-edge, onto the top of leg stump. You can't get much better than that, a worthy means to end a magnificent innings. 439/4 167.3 to Q de Kock, gone! Leg-side field was packed and de Kock picked out the man at short square leg! Took on the bouncer, flapped his pull, a simple chance really to put the skids under South Africa's lunchtime serenity!. 449/6 | ||||||||||

93.3 to AB de Villiers, banged in, de Villiers pulls... AND FINALLY SOMEONE HOLDS A CATCH! He's been about as sketchy as you're likely to see AB de Villiers today and this mistimed shot is snaffled up at midwicket. Actually, he caught it reasonably well but it was in the air, above Anderson's head and he palmed it up and took the rebound safely. After almost two sessions, England have their first wicket of the day. 268/3 207.2 to CH Morris, pitched up, driven to short extra cover! They've held him this time! Finn slumps in celebration, Root took it well in his midriff and Morris' punchy debut knock it over. 616/7 | ||||||||||

24.5 to D Elgar, Ben Stokes, he breaks through when he wants! Outside off, lifting a fraction and holding its line from round the wicket, Compton at backward point makes good ground to snaffle the looping edge!. 85/2 | ||||||||||

8.6 to AD Hales, jeepers! That is an outstanding slip catch! Chris Morris took a phenomenal catch with his left hand off the left-handed Cook in the first innings, but this right-hander off the right-hander is even better! Fizzing off a fat edge as Hales played uppishly and away from his body, and Morris flings himself full-stretch, clinging on millimetres from the turf, almost at fourth slip's bootlaces ... blinder!. 19/2 | ||||||||||

7.2 to AN Cook, down the leg-side and Cook has another wave, and this time waves himself goodbye! A fractional snick through to the keeper, extra lift as Rabada nipped it back into his pads, and Cook's issue on the leg-side resurfaces - he was snaffled in a similar manner in the UAE a few times. 17/1 | ||||||||||

17.1 to JE Root, full and stump-splattering! Wow, what an introduction for Morris! Yorker length, straightening on pitching, and Root is nowhere to be seen as the ball batters into his off and middle stumps to reawaken England's jitters!. 55/3 | ||||||||||

30.3 to NRD Compton, chipped to short mid-on, gone! South Africa have chiselled out another and it is the cussed, block-happy barricade-builder Compton who's gone! Not sure quite what he was aiming to do with this shot but maybe the pressure - that word again - got to him... Piedt got the ball to dip and he sent it straight to du Plessis, who wasn't shelling this one. 85/4 40.6 to BA Stokes, swept again, and Stokes has holed out to deep midwicket! A top edge, and Morkel steadies himself on the edge of the boundary, gathers well, then checks his balance as he takes a perilous step backwards. Piedt's perseverance is rewarded!. 115/5 42.4 to JWA Taylor, edged and another one! Piedt has his third! Tossed up, the ball grips, turns, flicks the glove and lobs to short leg! England are freaking themselves out on the final day!. 116/6 | ||||||||||
