Innings England 158 (Pope 67, Jansen 5-35, Rababa 4-81) lead South Africa 118 (Jansen 30, Robinson 5-49, Broad 4-41) by 40 runs

South Africa made a flawless start to the morning, Marco Jansen completing his five-wicket haul to contain England’s first-innings advantage to 40 runs in the third Test.

Resuming on 154 for 7 on the fourth day – but only the second day’s play after Thursday’s washout and Friday’s mark of respect following the death of Queen Elizabeth II – England lost their remaining three wickets with just 16 balls bowled in the morning to be all out for 158 in reply to South Africa’s 118.

Kagiso Rabada, who had been expensive in claiming 2 for 78 on Saturday, struck with the second ball of the day – the last of his 12th over, which had been suspended when bad light ended play the previous evening – when Ollie Robinson sent a full delivery straight to Dean Elgar at cover. In Rabada’s next over, he had Jack Leach chopping onto his stumps for a duck, to finish with 4 for 81.

Jansen had been the pick of the South Africa bowlers the previous day, claiming 4 for 34, and he ended England’s innings inside the first half-hour on Sunday with his fifth when he had Ben Foakes well caught by Keegan Petersen at third slip to claim his maiden Test five-for.

Ollie Pope top-scored for England with 67 off 77 balls before he fell to Rabada the previous evening, becoming the hosts’ sixth wicket to fall before Rabada also dismissed Stuart Broad.

Earlier, Robinson had put England in a strong position, his 5 for 49 crucial in keeping South Africa to a low first-innings total, while Broad added 4 for 41.
