CAPE TOWN: Dom Sibley lay awake watching TV at 2 on Monday morning as he fretted over 15 runs needed to complete his maiden test century, but he got there in the end to guide England to a strong position in the second test against South Africa at Newlands.

His century helped England set South Africa what would be a test record score of 438 for victory, with the home side closing day four on 126 for two. "When I saw the ball go for four ... it was something I was working towards since I was 13 or 14 years old. You dream of the moment and hopefully there are a few more over the next few years."You can never prepare for the spotlight you are under , what people write about you and the critiquing of your technique.

Sibley will now hope England can push for victory to cap his excellent match, with the tourists needing eight more South African wickets on a pitch that has flattened out in the last two days.
