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

88.6

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

A Nortje c Stokes b Anderson 4 (20m 16b 1x4 0x6) SR: 25.00

88.5

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

88.4

Anderson to Nortje, no run, banged in again, 132kph/82mph and again he hangs back and ducks

88.3

Anderson to Nortje, no run, bumper from Anderson, fizzes through at a nasty height for a big man like Nortje, he collapses out of the way

88.2

Anderson to Nortje, no run, length outside off, 136kph/84mph and steered towards point

88.1

Anderson to Philander, 1 run, fullish and pushed into the covers, Vernon now happy to let Nortje have the strike

Stuart Broad18-6-38-2
James Anderson18-6-39-4

"Skelped! Is that even a word?" Must be, Curious George, you've just used it

87.6

Broad to Nortje, no run, pitched up and defended into the covers coming forwards

87.5

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

87.4

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

87.3

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
