• Anderson takes three for 34 as Elgar departure sparks collapse
Six days into the series and England, to dredge up the old phrases of Duncan Fletcher, have “come to the party”. If their batsmen had been profligate on the first the day, their bowlers “stepped up to the plate” magnificently on the second to ensure that England retain realistic hopes of levelling the series here.
By the close of a day of sublime sunshine South Africa had stumbled to 215 for eight, 54 runs behind England’s total, which represented quite a descent from 157 for three.
