6pm A magnificent day of gutsy batting from South Africa, lit up by a sparkling Hashim Amla hundred but underpinned by a superb maiden Test hundred from the debutant Stephen Cook. England fought back well with four wickets in the evening session including AB de Villiers for a duck. But Temba Bavuma and Quinton de Kock counter-punched gamely to guarantee their team the end-of-day ascendancy.

Cheers for reading. Have a look at David Hopps' match report, and tune in later for George Dobell's and Firdose Moonda's musings from the ground. See you bright and early for day two tomorrow at 8am GMT

89.6

Stokes to Bavuma, no run, swinging in late, but strikes the pad down the leg-side. Nothing doing there. That will be stumps

Last ball ...

Nahim: "This shows the importance of having a good no. 7. Though, of course, Ben Stokes shows the importance of having a 5th bowler."

89.5

Stokes to Bavuma, 2 runs, worked to the leg side, more runs flowing...

Matt: "After missing most of the first day, it's great to look at the scorecard and see Cook is only 2 runs of his 10k. Wait a minute...." I see what you've done there

89.4

Stokes to Bavuma, FOUR, slammed to the fence! Stokes dangles it out there, 'chase me if you dare'. Bavuma climbs into a drive, and why not

Michael Ivory: "Does the lack of time between the spinners deliveries make things a bit manic I'm the cricinfo box?" Yes. Ban them

89.3

Stokes to Bavuma, no run, outside off, Bavuma hauls his gloves out of harm's way
89.2

Stokes to Bavuma, no run, angled down the leg-side, again with some appreciable swing. But started too straight to bother Bavuma
89.1

Stokes to Bavuma, no run, drilled into the covers, a touch of width luring him into the shot

So, last over of the day. And Stokes is armed with the ball. Three slips and a gully

End of over 89 (1 run) South Africa 323/5

        Q de Kock 25 (31b 4x4 0x6)
        T Bavuma 26 (47b 4x4 0x6)
        MM Ali 17-4-53-2
        SCJ Broad 18-1-65-1

Kasun Udana: "After 87.5, both batsmen had 294 international runs at 32.66. Amazing. It is more wonderful, if this would have been 8th match of Bavuma." More details of that statistical Kodak moment. Blink and they are gone ...

88.6

Ali to de Kock, no run, a wristy drive but straight to cover
88.5

Ali to Bavuma, 1 run, worked fine, another useful run to bring up a vital and restorative fifty-run stand. It's been the difference between South Africa taking the day's honours and England surging back into contention
88.4

Ali to Bavuma, no run, dabbed to leg, and de Kock is strong on the calling. Not on your nelly being the gist of it
88.3

Ali to Bavuma, no run, a hopeful paddle sweep, but no connection as Bairstow gets in the way down the leg side

David: "Both batters averaging 32.66!" I love moments like these ...

88.2

Ali to Bavuma, no run, leg-sided again, clipped firmly to midwicket
88.1

Ali to Bavuma, no run, on the pads, flicked square, Taylor scrambles after it

End of over 88 (9 runs) South Africa 322/5

        T Bavuma 25 (42b 4x4 0x6)
        Q de Kock 25 (30b 4x4 0x6)
        SCJ Broad 18-1-65-1
        JM Anderson 21-4-70-0

Andy: "As an ex-scorer, I can tell you that ducks *do* trouble the scorers - especially if they happen just after you've updated the multiple parts of the scorebook with the previous dismissal! " I suspect Raghav would have told me that too, if he had had time to speak between his myriad duties ...

87.6

Broad to Bavuma, 1 run, tighter line, deflects into the leg side
87.5

Broad to Bavuma, FOUR, utterly majestic! Waltzing onto the front foot, head over the ball, wrists flowing through the stroke, piercing the covers. That is in Amla's class, and I don't say that lightly.
87.4

Broad to Bavuma, no run, half an appeal from Broad as this one climbs off a good length and tucks Bavuma up, somewhere around the inner thigh pad
87.3

Broad to Bavuma, no run, pushed back into the crease to defend on the angle

Sean: "Can we dance to Psy's "Daddy" next, you know, for all those daddy hundreds England used to speak of?" Those were the days! Bring back Goochie!

87.2

Broad to Bavuma, no run, wide on the crease, angled in, left alone
87.1

Broad to Bavuma, FOUR, onto the front foot, and now Bavuma follows the de Kock method. Crunched into the gap at long-off. Runs flowing against the hard new ball

End of over 87 (14 runs) South Africa 313/5

        Q de Kock 25 (30b 4x4 0x6)
        T Bavuma 16 (36b 2x4 0x6)
        JM Anderson 21-4-70-0
        SCJ Broad 17-1-56-1

Frankie just sent a follow-up message but it is undiluted piffle so I won't bore you with the details. Here's Broad again

86.6

Anderson to de Kock, 2 runs, tapped into the covers, a very handy over of counter-punching from South Africa
86.5

Anderson to de Kock, FOUR, short and pulled on the up through midwicket, excellent controlled aggression in this over as de Kock's natural game comes to the fore. Anderson glowers, as well he might
86.4

Anderson to de Kock, no run, good riposte, round the wicket, angling in, beating a flaccid pushed defence
86.3

Anderson to de Kock, FOUR, punched off the back foot and that is almost as crisp a strike as the last one. Up on the toes, riding the bounce and using the width. Moeen chases but can't cut it off
86.2

Anderson to de Kock, FOUR, crisp and controlled, that is a lovely strike, straight back whence it came as Anderson over-pitches on off stump. Tight technique, flowing blade

Justin: "Whenever anyone gets a duck the commentators say 'he's gone without bothering the scorers' - so I'd like to ask M Venkat Raghav, today's Cricinfo scorer, were you bothered by AB's dismissal?" Raghav says he is just miffed not to have seen him bat for longer. Ever the pro you see...

86.1

Anderson to de Kock, no run, full and attacking

End of over 86 (2 runs) South Africa 299/5

        T Bavuma 16 (36b 2x4 0x6)
        Q de Kock 11 (24b 1x4 0x6)
        SCJ Broad 17-1-56-1
        JM Anderson 20-4-56-0

85.6

Broad to Bavuma, no run, clatters the pads, and deflects into the leg side
85.5

Broad to Bavuma, no run, back over the wicket, and Bavuma leaves well as this one tails in towards his off peg
85.4

Broad to de Kock, 1 run, clipped to the leg side, full and straight
85.3

Broad to de Kock, no run, short and pulled to square leg, nicely over the top of the shot
85.3

Broad to de Kock, 1 wide
85.2

Broad to de Kock, no run, on the pads from round the wicket, tucked to square leg
