12.06pm Wood leads England from the field with a massive grin on his face! His ever-cheery outlook masks a world of pain that has gone into this latest comeback. No competitive cricket since the World Cup final, let's not forget, until his comeback in PE. And now he's been lethal and full-gas in another brilliant display. That will be lunch. And though England could enforce the follow-on, they will undoubtedly bat again. Not confirmed yet... I suspect they'll let South Africa sweat for a bit first. Will keep you posted!

Wood to Paterson, OUT, swing, nick, five for Wood! That was coming, to put it mildly! Another uncomfortable mow from a less-than-happy Paterson. The off stump would have cartwheeled had he missed it, instead a thin outside-edge fizzed into Buttler's gloves!

Wood to Paterson, FOUR, yikes, the square-leg umpire needs to mind his toes! Retreats to leg again, flashes the blade, and eludes the cordon with a flying edge

Wood to Paterson, no run, Paterson retreats to leg, not entirely comfortable with Wood's wheels, and just about blocked!

Vipul Thorat: "Can't understand comments on Dcock wkt, is it was off stump or leg ..Hello Good Evening commentary team, ur here in SA not in Nz" Off stump line, hit the seam, hit leg stump!

Stokes to Hendricks, FOUR, nip off the seam, but enough nip to catch a fat outside edge, eluding three slips and a gully and flying along the carpet to the third man boundary

Jawadh: "QDK is the only positive batsman in SA. Everyone else is trying to defend rather than scoring.... He's gone as well. FAF has to learn many at least from QDK. "

Wood to de Kock, OUT, ping, next batsman please! An off-stump exocet, de Kock flashed into a drive, but the ball nipped off the seam at 90mph, and flicked the top of the leg bail! In fact, he's broken the bail... that's his fourth of the innings, and he's got a golden chance for another five-for, his second in three Tests
