England on top with bat and ball as South Africa struggle - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

A record 10th-wicket partnership saw England amass a formidable first-innings total before rampaging through the home team’s batting order to take a stranglehold on the game and move closer to a series victory.

The home side’s confidence had already taken a hefty knock when their bowlers were subjected to a bashing from tailenders Stuart Broad and Mark Wood, whose 82-run partnership was a record for the last wicket at the Johannesburg venue. Wood led the way in the evening session with 3 wickets for 21 as England removed Pieter Malan , Rassie van der Dussen , Dean Elgar , Faf du Plessis and Temba Bavuma with their five-man seam attack generating real pace of the quick wicket.

There were also half-centuries for captain Joe Root and Ollie Pope and a valuable 32 from Chris Woakes in his first appearance on the tour. Nortje took a maiden test five-wicket haul.
