• Second Test: England 269 and 218-4; South Africa 223
• Sibley and Joe Root build on Jimmy Anderson’s five-wicket haul

On a sultry Sunday in a country where, bizarrely, cloud cover can seem to deaden the playing surface, England’s batsmen set to work as diligently as their bowlers had on Saturday. The upshot is that England are in a commanding position at Newlands; they lead by 264 with six wickets in hand.
