England captain Joe Root was out for 190 before Moeen Ali (87) and Stuart Broad (57 not out) lifted the hosts to a commanding first-innings total. Moeen was bowled by Kagiso Rabada for 87 and Mark Wood lasted two balls before he was out lbw to the right-arm paceman. Morkel was the pick of the South Africa bowlers with figures of 4-115. But Bavuma and De Bruyn showed commendable composure under pressure, defending resolutely and dispatching loose deliveries to the boundary. De Bruyn, in his second Test, edged Anderson to wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow for 48 just before the close but Bavuma remained on 48 not out with Rabada on nine.
