Saffers scoring at a rate of knots here!

Need to rein it in and get some wickets.

Finn to du Plessis, OUT, extra bounce, du Plessis plays... and he's gone, taken at slip! What a breakthrough, brilliant delivery from Finn

England have knocked another brick out of the wall in the dying moments of the day!

South Africa require another 280 runs with 6 wickets remaining

Stumps, Day 4

That was a big, big wicket right at the close of play. England really needed that, especially after Bairstow's missed stumping of AB. It will be interesting to see how South Africa play this, will they play for a draw or look to be positive and chase down the 280 runs needed. I suspect Moeen Ali will have a big role to play tomorrow.

What a start for England. Moeen Ali gets AB with the third ball of the morning.

Moeen with another. Bavuma this time. Bairstow atones for his missed stumping of AB yesterday by comfortably taking this chance as Bavuma wandered down the track. Brilliant from Mo.

Finn knocks over the top of Dale Steyn's off stump. A dream start for England this morning - 6 overs bowled, 2 runs conceded and 3 wickets taken.

This is going better than I could possibly have hoped for. Abbot rooted to the crease and is the eighth wicket down, out lbw for 2. Moeen with 3 wickets this morning. Top class bowling.
