England vs South Africa LIVE: Cricket result from first Test as England thrashed by an innings after batting collapse

24th over: A couple of singles early in the over before some conservative prods. The scoreboard is ticking over and these two are rebuilding nicely.

23rd over: Bairstow gently pulls the first ball of Nortje’s over towards the boundary. The fielder chases it down but they run FOUR anyway. Good effort, that!

Inside edge for two off the next ball before Bairstow nicely cuts the ball into the off-side and this one rolls away for a more conventional FOUR! Nortje responds by beating the bat as Bairstow’s swing doesn’t make contact, so it’s 10 from the over.

22nd over: South Africa electing to let Maharaj tie up an end, it seems. Soft hands from Bairstow as he steers one through the slips and the scamper a single. That’s the only run from the over though

Here’s how Joe Root got out in England’s second innings. How crucial could this wicket be in the context of the match?

21st over: Change of bowler as Anrich Nortje comes on from the Nursery End. The boy is quick - definitely 90mph+ when he lets rip.

Lees works a single off the pads, Bairstow does likewise with a back-foot punch before Lees loops one in the air off his hip but it falls safe for two runs. He moves to 30. Final delivery nips in and strikes him, maybe on the thigh.

20th over: Jonny Bairstow off a pair as he tucks one through square leg after Lees takes a first-ball single. Maharaj is very lively while bowing - all sorts of yelps and half-appeals - but there wasn’t actually too much danger in that over.

19th over: Ok Jonny Bairstow, can you dig England out of trouble? Again...? Deary me! That’s a seriously brave leave by Bairstow... Millimetres from clipping off stump, a ball that’s angling in but it just misses. Bairstow is on a pair after his first-innings duck as well.

Ngidi has his tail up now and is targeting the stumps. Obdurate defence from Bairstow to see out the over.

19th over: This is not what England needed... A massive WICKET for South Africa as Joe Root pushes at one outside off stump by Ngidi and edges it to third slip. Well caught by Markram.

Not sure Root needed to play that, it was quite wide. England in all sorts at 57-3.

18th over: Dean Elgar continues with Maharaj. Root and Lees working singles, with the ex-skipper going for a sort of reverse paddle, Ollie Pope-style. Might need a little more work but no harm done.

A more conventional reverse sweep pulls up just short of the third man boundary but a sharply-taken three keeps the scoreboard ticking. Maharaj responds by beating Lees’ bat off the next ball

17th over: Ngidi has bowled very tidily so far in this second innings and he continues to nip a couple in to Lees. A nice leave and some solid defensive strokes see Lees through but it’s a maiden.
