Hundred!

Chanceless, I think? Which is remarkable for a run a ball ton.

Morning Arthur, evening Alfie

No point asking what this morning's plan was. Pile on pressure.

Hard to know how many England need. The track says 450+, but the state of SA batting suggests so many might be out of reach for them.

This new ball has now yielded 91 runs in 11 overs ...

And two of them were maidens at the end of yesterday's play.

Bairstow's fifty - off 69 balls - has been rather overshadowed by his partner ; but it ain't too shabby ...

Hundred and fifty stand at better than run a ball :clap

SA in deep trouble here. England absolutely on top. SA in danger of being batted out of the game.

Hundred in the session for Stokes :clap

Still half an hour to go ...
