England v South Africa: third Test, day three – live! (The Guardian)

Jansen stuck around and top scored for 30 and Zondo showed some potential with a fighting 23, but it's a sorry scorecard for the Proteas who have just recorded ...

That is a dreadful shot from Mulder, regardless of the context of the game. Anderson comes back into the attack and starts with a maiden to Jansen. What a session for England as they ripped out the South African top order. The final ball of the first over of the session kicks enough off a back of a length and takes the shoulder of Zondo’s blade. Jansen is takes three runs – first with a couple through cover and another down the ground – before Maharaj scampers a single to get off the mark with a cheekily scampered run. Jansen is more circumspect and is able to ride the bounce with more comfort. 35th over: South Africa 110-9 (Rabada 6, Nortje 0) Rabada’s gentle and well timed flick through midwcket for three suggested that the remaining Saffas might concentrate and drag out as many runs as they can. The South African’s half heartedly go up for a catch at backward point but the TV replay shows Crawley thunked it into the ground first. 2nd over: England 10-0 (Lees 6, Crawley 4) Marco Jansen (the missing lovechild of Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Alan Mullally?) is going to send down his south-paw slingers from the other end. Sun out at The Oval and a very appreciative crowd, cheering every run and oohing and ahhhing almost every ball. 8th over: England 35-1 (Crawley 5, Pope 16) Shot! 10th over: England 44-2 (Pope 22, Root 1) Joe Root does his road runner thing as he scampers out onto the field, legs pumping like a pistons.

England vs South Africa, Day 3 Live Score Updates: Ollie Robinson took five before Stuart Broad also took four wickets, helping England bowl out South Africa for a paltry total of 118 on Day 3 of the ongoing third Test.

The three-match series is currently level at 1-1 and it would be interesting to see whether a result would be possible in the third Test as there are just three days remaining. It is important to note that England had won the toss and elected to bowl in the third Test. Earlier, the first day was washed out due to rain while there the second day was called off in memory of Queen Elizabeth II who died on Thursday.

It’s more of a square drive this time but Brook has back-to-back boundaries. The bottom hand comes off his bat as he laces it across the square. Ollie Pope brings up the hundred for England by turning Marco Jansen away to fine leg. Ryan Rickelton is patrolling the boundary but he doesn’t see the ball until late and it bounces safely despite cries of ‘catch!’ from his team mates. Harry Brook’s first runs in test cricket come through a stonking cover drive off Marco Jansen.

England star snares five-fa in bonkers Test against SA as 17 wickets ... (Fox Sports)

England star snares five-fa in bonkers Test against SA as 17 wickets fall in one day.

Together with Jansen, he doubled the score from 36-6 to 72-7. “He is a hero of mine,” Broad told Sky Sports after stumps. And when star batsman Root, chasing a wide Jansen delivery, was brilliantly caught by Keegan Petersen at third slip for 23, England were 84-3 in the first over after tea. Zondo, however, was out for 23 in the first over after lunch, fending at a lifting Broad delivery before the seamer had Jansen caught by Joe Root at first slip. But South Africa thrashed England by an innings and 12 runs at Lord’s inside three days before the hosts were as quick as they won the second Test in Manchester by an innings and 85 runs. Left-arm quick Marco Jansen, who had top-scored for the Proteas with 30 after he was unluckily left out of the second Test, took the first four England wickets to fall in a return of 4-34 in 11 overs.

A modest Jansen leads South Africa off, holding the ball high in his left hand. 9th over: South Africa 40-0 (Erwee 15, Elgar 24) The first bowling change of the day as Stuart Broad replaces James Anderson. Foakes goes up immediately, Robinson is keen and England review but it pitched outside leg by the width of a match. 8th over: South Africa 32-0 (Erwee 15, Elgar 16) The dog settles on my knee, just where the lap top usually sits. “ Jonathan Hodgson, I think the powers that be at The Oval would heartily agree – there is a risk that this game will not make the last day, despite being shorn of the first two. A back foot drive then brings Erwee a boundary and South Africa take the lead. 16th over: South Africa 59-1 (Elgar 31, Petersen 1) Root’s 163rd catch in Test cricket – a snorter actually, the angle was really tricky – puts him in the top ten of non-wicketkeeping catchers in Test cricket. “The Oval is a massive ground/pitch (like the MCG) and difficult to defend in the field, you can score very fast if the conditions are right.

England v South Africa: live score and latest updates from day 4 (Telegraph.co.uk)

A change at last, Stokes gives Jimmy a breather and brings himself on.

After day one was lost to rain, and day two cancelled out of a mark of respect for the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the match began yesterday. All eyes will be on Foakes then as he tries to shepherd the team to something like a total. Tall left armer, gets it to angle in to the right handed bat, gets bounce and swing. Another good ball later in the over leaves the batsman, Elgar hopping and popping at the ball. Off the fourth ball, Foakes tucks Rabada off the hip for a single. Erwee shovels the second delivery away to leg for a welcome two runs that spares him the pair. They needed just 13 minutes to get rid of the last three England wickets, and have now dug in sensibly to reach 70 for just the lost of opener Erwee. He told Sky at the weekend: "He is a hero of mine. Third ball of the over, Broad jags one back and traps Elgar on the crease. Amazing how green the Oval square is at the end of a dry summer... Broad, perhaps tiring a little as he is in the 8th over of this spell, with a short ball. Half-powered ball form Broad completes the over, a diffident whiff at it from Mulder, and a half-hearted appeal that is soon quashed.

Zak Crawley guides England to verge of series win against South ... (The Guardian)

Zak Crawley and Alex Lees put on an unbeaten opening partnership of 97 but bad light stopped play at end of day four with England needing 33 to win.

At the other end Stokes was back pounding away, mindful of not releasing the pressure in a match where his spinner, Jack Leach, had been relegated to the role of second gravedigger. As such, when Robinson continued his barnstorming Test match by removing both set men in the space of five balls with inswingers that nipped in further, the tourists had gone nowhere. Given a batting line-up otherwise green by way of experience, Elgar should probably have taken one regardless; instead he was back in the sheds when the replay showed it was missing. Six hours earlier England’s mood was not nearly so buoyant and in a summer where the quality of Dukes ball has been a running theme, they were chuntering about the latest one at their disposal. South African shoulders had dropped, not least after Marco Jansen grassed Lees at slip off the first ball of the chase, but this was still a huge boon for both openers. It follows the second evening in a row where the players were forced off early and this time, at 6.37pm, boos rang around the Oval.

England are closing in on a series victory over South Africa after a classy half-century from Zak Crawley left them needing only 33 more runs to win the ...

His eventful start to the innings was completed with an unsuccessful South Africa review for a catch after the ball ballooned into the cordon. It's a pleasure to bowl with him at the other end." A fierce pull shot was put down by Rickelton at mid-wicket and later in the over, an outside edge flew between wicketkeeper and first slip. Meanwhile, Stokes was battling through knee pain in a fine spell from the other end and looked to have earned his reward when Jansen nicked an out-swinger to Pope. England bowler Jimmy Anderson: "Great day for us, I thought we bowled really well, and we didn't get the rewards in the first session. A hooping in-swinger beat Jansen (4) on the inside edge and flattened leg stump. Stokes brought himself into the attack and needed just three balls to find Erwee's edge with Joe Root taking a good catch at first slip. And swing, the ball did. Elgar himself seemed convinced, too, walking off even before the finger was raised. "It just shows the amount of work he has put in and the dedication to the job. Kagiso Rabada (4-81) accounted for Robinson (3) and Jack Leach (0) before Marco Jansen (5-35) had Ben Foakes (14) caught in the slips to finish off the innings on 158 and complete a maiden Test five-for. England end day four on 97-0, needing another 33 to beat South Africa in the third Test and claim a 2-1 series win; Zak Crawley hit 57no in unbroken stand with Alex Lees; Stuart Broad moved past Glenn McGrath on list of Test leading wicket-takers as South Africa were 169 all out
