South Africa's lowest score in England since readmission - for the second, successive match. And fourth lowest batting first in England. With the Test reducing to a three-day affair, England's only chance to force a result was to get early wickets, and they did that with aplomb! Ollie Robinson started the collapse by getting rid of Dean Elgar before James Anderson, and Stuart Broad chimed in. Robinson then burst through South Africa's middle order reducing them to 36 for 6 before Jansen and Zondo resisted for a bit. The slump continued after lunch with Robinson completing his five-wicket haul. Broad then got into the act to wipe out the tail. He now goes level with Glenn McGrath on 563 Test wickets.

Philip M McCart: "I have the strange feeling that we haven't seen the last of the wickets to fall today though ..."

Broad to Nortje, OUT, ALL OVER! Broad gets his fourth and England have blown South Africa over. Full on off, Nortje chips it meekly and straight to Stokes at mid-off.

Broad to Nortje, FOUR, Edged and flashes it past slips for a four! Three slips in place and Nortje evades all of them. Broad isn't please one bit!

Mohan : "I would declare and hand the cherry to Rabada and co to take full use of the conditions."

Broad to Maharaj, OUT, Goes short and gets his man! Short of a length on off, Maharaj goes for the pull but doesn't get into position well. Looks to go hard at it only to get a thick inside edge back onto his stumps. Broad has had a number of chances off his bowling in the last few overs, and he finally gets one.

Robinson to Jansen, OUT, There's the fifth for Robinson, and richly deserved! On a length outside off, Jansen looks to drive away from his body only to get a thick outside edge through to first slip, who takes a comfortable catch. A standing ovation for Robinson who holds the ball high and soaks in the applause.
