In the second session, De Kock and Philander will be looking to continue piling more runs to help SA tighten their grip on this match.
When lunch was called, the Proteas were sitting pretty on 197/7 and leading England by 300 runs with Quinton de Kock and Vernon Philander unbeaten on 30 and 5 respectively.
For England, their star performer was fast bowler Jofra Archer who accounted for Van der Dussen and Nortje in quick succession to start a South African mini collapse. Van der Dussen and Nortje started the day on 17 and 4 respectively and they added to their scores as they frustrated James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Sam Curran, Archer and Ben Stokes.
