END OF OVER:
89 | 1 Run 1 Wkt | SA: 223/10

  • Vernon Philander17 (58b)
  • James Anderson19-6-40-5
  • Stuart Broad18-6-38-2

10.55am: That haul puts Anderson ahead of Ian Botham with the most Test five-fors for England, which is not bad going for a 37-year-old who has only played one full first-class game since June. England will be back out to bat shortly, sitting on a lead of 46... SA need to call in one last Newlands favour from Big Vernon Philander, else this one looks to be heading away from them

Anderson to Nortje, OUT, Stokes leaps to grab another! Anderson has five, Stokes has five (equalling the record for a fielder in an innings) and England have polished things off for a very handy lead! Beautifully bowled, shaping away to scorch the outside edge, and then Stokes sailed into view to pouch another snorter

Anderson to Nortje, no run, back of a length on the stumps and defended

"I believe that England managed win back the Ashes in 1970/71 without getting a single lbw decision in their favour from the Aussie umpires across the six tests that were actually played," claims Dean. Don't get in Raymond Illingworth's way

Broad to Nortje, no run, fuller, on the stumps, punched securely towards mid-on

"Nortje at 11 means SA can bat almost all the way down. Classic last wicket stand, anyone?" Never bet against it when England are bowling, Frase

Broad to Nortje, no run, length outside off, lets this one fly through

Broad to Nortje, no run, banged in, decent licks on the bouncer, line is outside off and Nortje folds himself down out of harm's way
