11.42am Welcome back. Cook and Jennings stride out to the crease as Faf du Plessis gets his South Africans into a huddle. This promises to be a gripping mini-session...

Owen: "100th catch that for Bairstow, his 95th catch as Wicketkeeper". Nice spot. He's come on leaps and bounds with the gloves.

11.36am Well, that was eventful. See you in five for the resumption.

Anderson to Morkel, OUT, he only needed two! Another outswinger, a loose ambitious slap, a thin nick, a simple catch to Bairstow behind the stumps! Excellent carry, and quite the spell from Jimmy this morning. 4 for 4 in 3.2 overs!
