England vs South Africa, 3rd Test, Day 4 Highlights: Chasing a target of 130, England are in control of the proceedings after stumps on Day 4 of the ongoing third and final Test at the Kennington Oval. England were 97 for the loss of no wicket with openers Zak Crawley and Alex Lees unbeaten on 57 and 32, respectively. Earlier, South Africa were bowled out for 169 in their second innings. Ben Stokes drew first blood with the wicket of Sareel Erwee before Stuart Broad and James Anderson worked their magic to get three quick wickets between them. Broad removed Dean Elgar and   England resumed play on Day 4 at 154 for seven, but could only add four runs in the morning session, and were bowled out for 158. Marco Jansen took a five-wicket haul while Kagiso Rabada scalped four wickets. Earlier, 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. Robinson returned figures of five for 49 while Broad ended the innings with a four for 41 spell. (SCORECARD)

2nd Innings

Refresh

  1. !

    We are back! The umpires and the players are back out in the middle. The South African opening pair of Dean Elgar and Sarel Erwee are ready to get their innings underway. James Anderson has the red cherry in hand and is raring to go. Let's play...

  2. !

    ... THIRD INNINGS ...

  3. !

    Right then, as we expected, the bowlers continue to dominate proceedings in this game and another innings has flown by. England lead South Africa by 40 runs and the visitors will come out to bat whilst the conditions are still bowling friendly. It will be interesting to see the approach of their openers against the English pacers. Join us in a bit for South Africa's second innings.

  4. !

    England were a bit under the pump coming into this morning but they could add just 4 runs. Ben Foakes looked to rotate strike early on and Ollie Robinson was sent back on the second ball of the day. Leach soon followed and even Foakes couldn't hold on. England lost 3 wickets in just 16 deliveries bowled this morning and will now have to come out all guns blazing with the ball. Ollie Pope was the star for them with the bat as he scored a half-century but apart from that, there wasn't much to talk about. They do have a slender lead though and will look to make the most of it.

  5. !

    A superb start to the morning for the South African pacers and Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen have made short work of the English tail. The Proteas came back into the game late on Day 3 and have continued that momentum to keep the English lead down to just 40 runs. Jansen deservedly so picked up a five-wicket haul as Rabada took his wickets tally to four and this effort has now given the visitors renewed hope in this game.

    Marco Jansen to Ben Foakes

    OUT! CAUGHT AT SLIPS! Marco Jansen records his maiden fi-fer in Test cricket. An excellent start for South Africa this morning. It is a length ball, on off, shaping away a touch. Ben Foakes looks to defend it out but gets a thick outside edge. The ball flies to the left of third slip. Keegan Petersen gets low to his left and pouches it safely with both hands. England have been bundled out for 158 runs.

    Kagiso Rabada to Jack Leach

    OUT! DRAGGED ON! Kagiso Rabada comes 'round the wicket now and it does the trick. Jack Leach walks back on a 3-ball duck. It is a good-length ball, outside off. Jack Leach hangs back and looks to cut it away. The ball takes the inside edge and shatters the stumps. South Africa are right back in the game. Kagiso Rabada gets his fourth wicket now. He has been sensational this morning.

    James Anderson is the last man in for England.
