An over from Harris after lunch, then it's new ball time. The next hour of play will determine the outcome.

179-5 at lunch. Just need snow now

Great spell of bowling from Steyn. This is what Test cricket is all about. Great contest

But he was a bowler

Surely Boycott is more like what we need

Good battling stuff from these two. It's all gone quiet since that new ball spell from Steyn, which gives us hope.

230-5 at tea. minimum of 33 overs remaining.

Another nail-biting final session in prospect. Hanging on for the draw would give England a stack of momentum moving into the final Test and at least a share of the series. If they lose this one though, you'd have to fancy the Saffers to take the series IMO.

Big first hour after tea.

Smith needs to utilise Duminy more judging by that last over before tea. Outstanding batting in that session by Bell and Collingwood, still one wicket could trigger a collapse so more of the same please fellas.

These two look comfortable, but we know it can change so very quickly. Another burst from Steyn might do the trick, but for now it's a bit gentle.

Oh heck. Here comes Steyn.
