Ben Stokes slog sweeps Simon Harmer for a six

A thick inside edge off Kagiso Rabada gives Ben Foakes his first boundary as England enter the lead. Ben Stokes too gets his first four with a cover drive off Rabada, who has been rather expensive today. Simon Harmer is welcomed into the attack with a four through extra cover by Foakes while Stokes slog-sweeps for his first six. South Africa also lose a review for a leg-before decision when Harmer rapped Stokes on the pad.

Earlier, Zac Crawley and Jonny Bairstow joined hands for a 91-run stand before Anrich Nortje dismissed the well-set batters in quick succession.
