Proteas captain Faf du Plessis made 36 - his highest score in eight innings.

Around two-and-a-half hours of play were lost on Sunday but there was still enough time for England to wreak havoc on the brittle home team batting line-up.

It was another disastrous day of batting for the home team and there is very little chance of them surviving the final day on Monday. Having demonstrated how to value your wicket during his three-hour vigil‚ his team-mates cocked him a deaf one on Sunday morning as they capitulated meekly‚ tossing their last four wickets in 28 balls for the addition of only one run to end on 209.

Only four overs after that Zubayr Hamza flicked at a ball down the leg-side from Wood and found an edge through to wicket-keeper Jos Buttler. After tea‚ Root was back in the action when Ollie Pope held on to a spectacular diving catch at short-leg off the bat of Rassie van der Dussen‚ who looked all at sea against the turning ball.
