Day Four at Newlands.

The pitch really is dead but is finally misbehaving a little as cracks open in the surface.
England were able to bat through thanks to a marvellous knock from Ben Stokes and well-earned maiden century for Don Sibley, finishing on 133 not out.
He seemed pleased.
The target set was 438 to win when England declared. It would require a world record total to chase this down.
With eight wickets intact, scoring an average 104 runs a session tomorrow, a South Africa win looks nigh on impossible.
England must take eight wickets to win and that ain't gonna be easy either!
