Right, that's it at the end of a historic day for South African cricket.
Maybe not a big day in the context of the match, but certainly huge for Temba Bavuma and the Proteas.
Can they push for victory tomorrow? Or will England repel the charge? Join us to find out.
'We'll rue those missed chances'
England assistant coach Paul Farbrace on Sky Sports: "The bowlers have worked incredibly hard - to be out there for 200 overs...
"We've done pretty well and created chances on a flat pitch. But obviously we're disappointed we've missed chances. We'll rue them."

More from South Africa's Temba Bavuma, who made 102 not out, on being padded up for 70 overs: "That was tough. I slept for some of those hours.
"Pressure is always there. As a young guy there is always pressure. I just tried to keep calm and use my opportunity. I want to make a mark on international level."
On the sledging from England's bowlers: "It was words of encouragement, if I could put in politely. It was almost like being back at school cricket with guys going hard at me for being small. But it enabled me to knuckle down and concentrate a bit harder."

"England just have to bat sensibly. There is the opportunity now Amla has declared for the early batsmen to get a hundred and then they would go to Jo'burg with wonderful confidence. We know Cook is a big hundred man. Hales will be thinking he can get his first one."
'It's a special moment'
South Africa's Temba Bavuma, who became the first black African to score a Test century for South Africa, on Sky Sports: "It's a moment of cherish forever, especially here at Newlands, my favourite ground.
"I can't tell you what was going through my mind but there was a lot of emotion and relief. I've been wanting to cross that first Test hundred off.
"It's a special moment for my family too - they flew in from their holiday to be here in time."

"All the confidence came back to South Africa cricket this afternoon. They have been down but Bavuma has done wonders for South African cricket. They have had bowlers who have been black - Ntini was a wonderful bowler - but I think it's better a player is picked on ability and Bavuma has proved he has talent."

Bavuma's century was a wonderful moment, a lot of emotion from the man himself, the Newlands crowd and his parents watching on.

"If England had caught most of those chances they would have won the match. As a coach, sometimes say nothing. They're not bad catchers but they've had a bad day at the office - a really bad day. It's madness. You can't understand why; the players don't know why. It's best not to dwell on it. Move on."

It seemed like England would never part Amla - who moved to an 11-hour 200 - and Faf du Plessis, until three wickets fell for 10 runs. Bang, bang, bang.

Morkel gets his knees high as he pumps in towards Cook, the speedo pushing 90, the keeper's gloves getting battered. We have our answer to the nightwatchman question. Steven Finn is padded up, waiting with his helmet on. That is a rough gig, having to sleep on the square after bowling 39 overs.

If Bavuma had caught this, I'd have been asking him to walk on water. Under the lid at short leg, off the face of Hales' bat, flying past Bavuma's dive quicker than a hiccup. When Rabada gets too short, Cook swivels on a hook for four. Two, maybe three overs left in the day.

I wonder if England have nightwatchman padded up? I wonder who it would be? Let's say Nick Compton wants one and Steven Finn gets asked. Might he reply with "remember when you dropped Amla when I was bowling? Do your own batting, Compo." Compton actually has got his pads on, watching as Cook defends Kagiso Rabada.

Cook is away with a nudge on the leg side, then Alex Hales does the same to pick up a couple. Despite this match being a runfest for four days, it feels different now. The evening, the shadow, the new ball, the fresh bowlers. It's a time to be bowling.

Down the hall, there's chaos in the England changing room. Kit being thrown everywhere. Alex Hales: "Where's my thigh pad?!" Probably.
South Africa declare on 627-7
Hashim Amla has seen enough. He gives a wave to bring his batsmen in, the Proteas two runs behind. The home side fancy a little bash at this tired England team tonight. After an eternity in the field, the pressure will be on the tourists for 20 minutes or so tonight.

Lovely pictures of Bavuma's father show him on the phone, no doubt telling all and sundry what his lad has done. In the background, a lady that I think is his mother is getting a big hug.

That's it! A maiden Test century for Temba Bavuma, a hugely important one for South African cricket. Bavuma, the first black African specialist batsman to play for the Proteas, edges Steven Finn for four and punches the air. Newlands erupts, his father is on his feet and the crowd sings his name. A wonderful moment.

How does Bavuma play now? He's in the 90s, facing Joe Root. He squints, looks around the field, then calmly works a single on the leg side to move to 96. Kagiso Rabada hold up his end of the bargain, watching two go past the off stump. Bavuma has the strike, looking for a boundary...

Looking again, it was actually a sharp snaffle from Root. It was one he should have held, but it still went quickly to his right. That's a nice reward for Finn, who deserves more than his two wickets. England will hope they can wrap up the tail, but new man Kagiso Rabada is no mug. How do South Africa play now?

Temba Bavuma is a small chap, competing with James Taylor for the title of shortest man in the match. He's obviously watched Sachin Tendulkar play. He's compact, quite wristy, but also with a flowing cover drive. Both he and Morris can play the reverse sweep - both belt Moeen for four. Are South Africa putting the foot down?

The Barmies sing "stand up if you're 1-0 up". I admire their enthusiasm, I'd be more thinking about having a lie down.

Moeen Ali, a man who has already bowled 50 overs, is asked to have another roll. There's no close catchers - probably because they wouldn't catch it. Round the wicket, a lot down the leg side.

Imagine how the bowlers must be feeling. They've bowled more than 200 overs and seen 10 catches shelled. That's one every 20 overs. England have made enough chance to take 16 wickets.

And another goes down! It's Joe Root, that man a short slip. The thing is, it goes so high to him, it would have been better if he was further back. Morris the batsman, Broad again the bowler, thick edge to Root's right. A dive, but tipped around the post. I think that's 10 drops. 10!

Another edge! Bairstow hangs on this time, but it's dropped short. Broad the bowler, Bavuma the batsman. Next to Bairstow is Joe Root, so close at slip that he needs a helmet. Guess what...

Well batted, Chris Morris. He took a frightful battering from Ben Stokes when he was bowling, but the debutant has now moved to 50 in his first Test innings. He gets there with a lovely cover drive off Stuart Broad. Looking at his bowling figures, he's just 100 in debt now.

There are 21 overs after this Stuart Broad set remaining in the day. Morris, hunting a half-century on debut, drives Broad down the ground for four. I'm told that South Africa have been batting for 14 and a half hours. If you'd boarded a flight from Heathrow at the start of this innings, you'd have reached Cape Town in time to watch the end.

Hmmm. It's all getting a little bit village now. Bairstow, standing back, rolls the ball at the stumps in an attempt to catch Bavuma out of his ground. If you want to stump someone, stand up, Jonathan. On the boundary, Steven Finn signs some autographs. A much better idea than bowling.

James Anderson somehow summons the energy to kick in to Bavuma once more. England are hoping to frustrate the error out of Bavuma - just like they did in the last over - with a 7-2 off-side field. The problem is when Anderson gets too straight, Bavuma can work fine to nudge nearer to a maiden Test match century.

Dropped another! Stuart Broad is wound up for another spell - ball in hand at this point is about as welcome as a visit from the taxman. Broad, with a little leg-cutter, finds the edge of Temba Bavuma but Jonny Bairstow, diving low to his right, can't cling on in one hand. Catchable. In frustration, Broad kicks the pitch and take a chunk out of it. The umpires even give him a warning. It never rains...

Ben Thurley: England are in real danger here of a first-innings deficit and tricky fifth-day chase.
How's stat?!
Andrew Samson
BBC Test Match Special statistician
"A fifty from 52 balls - that is Bavuma's fastest half-century in first-class cricket."
SA 524-6 (Bavuma 52, Morris 23)
Bavuma's certainly solid in defence too, easily shutting down Finn as the England bowler tries to tease him outside off before guiding a couple down to third man. A dot ball to finish.

"It's a really nice innings from Bavuma. There has been some short stuff where he has pulled and cut and he's played some nice drives."
50 for Bavuma
SA 522-6 (trail by 107)

Bavuma's got plenty in his locker, playing a deft lap sweep off Ali to deflect the ball through fine leg for four. He follows up by pouncing on a over-pitched delivery to drive through the covers for four before tucking a single into the leg side to bring up his fifty off just 52 balls with 11 fours.

"When England do get to bat I think Cook still has to open with Hales and just play. You have to try and get the shine off the new ball. If you try and whack it and you're three down for nowt you won't know whether to stick or twist."
SA 513-6 (trail by 116)
Finn bends his back trying to make immediate amends for his spill but Morris and Bavuma are equal to it. The caught-and-bowled chance beat Finn for pace but England could really have done with breaking this partnership.

England are getting very familiar with dropped catches in this Test. It's another tough chance in fairness but Finn fails to wrap his mitts around a Morris drive straight back at the bowler.

Stokes' sledging is clearly not paying dividends and he's also been removed from the attack with Moeen Ali resuming over the wicket. Bit of turn off the surface too, but not enough to trouble Bavuma. Just one off the over.
"Those wickets have spurred South Africa into action. They have to get that deficit down."
SA 504-6 (Bavuma 35, Morris 20)
Silky stuff from Bavuma, effortlessly pushing Finn through the covers. And there's plenty more as he plays late to guide the ball behind point before pulling through mid-wicket for a third consecutive boundary. Only a diving stop from Compton prevents a fourth.
South Africa bring up the 500 and these two have raced to their 50 partnership.

Despite those three quick wickets, Bavuma has settled very quickly, easily dealing with Stokes' pace and line. And the ginger tyro is livid, making his thoughts known to the diminutive South African, which draws a warning from the umpires. 'Pick on someone your own size', perhaps.

England assistant coach Paul Farbrace on Sky Sports: "The bowlers have worked incredibly hard - to be out there for 200 overs...

More from South Africa's Temba Bavuma, who made 102 not out, on being padded up for 70 overs: "That was tough. I slept for some of those hours.
"Pressure is always there. As a young guy there is always pressure. I just tried to keep calm and use my opportunity. I want to make a mark on international level."
On the sledging from England's bowlers: "It was words of encouragement, if I could put in politely. It was almost like being back at school cricket with guys going hard at me for being small. But it enabled me to knuckle down and concentrate a bit harder."

'It's a special moment'
South Africa's Temba Bavuma, who became the first black African to score a Test century for South Africa, on Sky Sports: "It's a moment of cherish forever, especially here at Newlands, my favourite ground.
"I can't tell you what was going through my mind but there was a lot of emotion and relief. I've been wanting to cross that first Test hundred off.

Morkel gets his knees high as he pumps in towards Cook, the speedo pushing 90, the keeper's gloves getting battered. We have our answer to the nightwatchman question. Steven Finn is padded up, waiting with his helmet on. That is a rough gig, having to sleep on the square after bowling 39 overs.

If Bavuma had caught this, I'd have been asking him to walk on water. Under the lid at short leg, off the face of Hales' bat, flying past Bavuma's dive quicker than a hiccup. When Rabada gets too short, Cook swivels on a hook for four. Two, maybe three overs left in the day.

I wonder if England have nightwatchman padded up? I wonder who it would be? Let's say Nick Compton wants one and Steven Finn gets asked.

That's it! A maiden Test century for Temba Bavuma, a hugely important one for South African cricket.

How does Bavuma play now? He's in the 90s, facing Joe Root. He squints, looks around the field, then calmly works a single on the leg side to move to 96. Kagiso Rabada hold up his end of the bargain, watching two go past the off stump. Bavuma has the strike, looking for a boundary...

Looking again, it was actually a sharp snaffle from Root. It was one he should have held, but it still went quickly to his right.

The Barmies sing "stand up if you're 1-0 up". I admire their enthusiasm, I'd be more thinking about having a lie down.

Well batted, Chris Morris. He took a frightful battering from Ben Stokes when he was bowling, but the debutant has now moved to 50 in his first Test innings. He gets there with a lovely cover drive off Stuart Broad. Looking at his bowling figures, he's just 100 in debt now.

James Anderson somehow summons the energy to kick in to Bavuma once more. England are hoping to frustrate the error out of Bavuma - just like they did in the last over - with a 7-2 off-side field.

Dropped another! Stuart Broad is wound up for another spell - ball in hand at this point is about as welcome as a visit from the taxman.

Man of the match in Durban, it's fair to say Cape Town hasn't been a happy hunting ground for Moeen. The spinner is into his 49th over and has yet to claim a wicket. But what's this? Moeen wraps Morris' pads and Cook signals a review...

"Middle-order players play nice shots. You have to find a way to make it uncomfortable for them. The trouble is, on this pitch there is no margin for error."
SA 535-6 (Bavuma 60, Morris 26)
Now then, Stokes back on against pre-tea nemesis Bavuma. Any more aggro? Well, Stokes will be seething after Bavuma plays the shot of his impressive innings with a splendid cover drive for four. Another nice drive yields a single.

Tom Ford: Have all these runs devalued Stokes' knock in any way??
SA 530-6 (trail by 99)
Second ball after the break and Bavuma signals his intent, mistiming a pull shot just over the head of Alex Hales. Sensibly he rotates the strike and Morris picks up a couple off Moeen Ali to end the over. The Proteas inside 100 behind now.

Bavuma and Morris didn't hold back before tea so let's see if they follow Michael Vaughan's advice and free their arms again.
Brews drunk, snacks eaten and they're all back out on the pitch. Let's resume.

Duncan in Birmingham: As one of the problems in slowing a day's play down is the change between overs, is there an argument for reverting to 8-ball overs (perhaps reducing the overs to 75 in a day, 25 per session)?

"The South Africa engine room looks back in form, which could make for a competitive series. It is just going to be whether they can get Dale Steyn fit and if they can take 20 wickets."

Richard Haines: Love the doom-mongers. England facing tricky fifth-day chase, on this pitch? No chasing needed batting third.

"When he came out to bat Amla was a man under serious pressure and South Africa were a team under serious pressure but he led from the front and played a beautiful innings. It was nice to see the England fans show their appreciation also."

"I don't know why Nick Compton is shaking Bavuma's hand - he's only made 50!"
SA 525-6 (Bavuma 52, Morris 24)
So the deficit isn't as low as the 75 Geoffrey Boycott predicted but Morris and Bavuma have made quick inroads. Their fluent partnership is worth 76 off 99 balls as the Proteas trail by 104 runs going into the final session.
Tea - SA 525-6 (trail by 104)
Finn to give it one more blast as he gets a bit of movement away from Morris' tentative prod outside off. Bit of bounce too as Bairstow takes one at head height before Morris edges along the ground to the slips. A maiden but no wicket and this pair survive through to tea.

"This is the first time I have seen England with a defensive field."
SA 525-6 (trail by 104)
Ali keeps on twirling away from around the wicket, trying to cramp Morris, but the South African is happy to defend before taking a single off the final ball."One more before tea fellas," bellows Bairstow. Well, they have only a few minutes left to go.

Ben Thurley: England are in real danger here of a first-innings deficit and tricky fifth-day chase.
How's stat?!
Andrew Samson
BBC Test Match Special statistician
"A fifty from 52 balls - that is Bavuma's fastest half-century in first-class cricket."
SA 524-6 (Bavuma 52, Morris 23)
Bavuma's certainly solid in defence too, easily shutting down Finn as the England bowler tries to tease him outside off before guiding a couple down to third man. A dot ball to finish.

"It's a really nice innings from Bavuma. There has been some short stuff where he has pulled and cut and he's played some nice drives."
50 for Bavuma
SA 522-6 (trail by 107)
Bavuma's got plenty in his locker, playing a deft lap sweep off Ali to deflect the ball through fine leg for four. He follows up by pouncing on a over-pitched delivery to drive through the covers for four before tucking a single into the leg side to bring up his fifty off just 52 balls with 11 fours.

"When England do get to bat I think Cook still has to open with Hales and just play. You have to try and get the shine off the new ball. If you try and whack it and you're three down for nowt you won't know whether to stick or twist."
SA 513-6 (trail by 116)
Finn bends his back trying to make immediate amends for his spill but Morris and Bavuma are equal to it. The caught-and-bowled chance beat Finn for pace but England could really have done with breaking this partnership.
Morris dropped on 22
England are getting very familiar with dropped catches in this Test. It's another tough chance in fairness but Finn fails to wrap his mitts around a Morris drive straight back at the bowler.

"Bavuma looks a decent little player but if you bowl a few dots he doesn't like it."
SA 511-6 (trail by 118)
This pair have scored freely to bring the deficit down quickly and Bavuma continues the trend with a square sweep off Ali to the fence after manoeuvring the field.

Dan Gee: Awesome from Bavuma but this is buffet bowling by Finn.
SA 505-6 (trail by 124)
Stokes' sledging is clearly not paying dividends and he's also been removed from the attack with Moeen Ali resuming over the wicket. Bit of turn off the surface too, but not enough to trouble Bavuma. Just one off the over.

"Those wickets have spurred South Africa into action. They have to get that deficit down."
SA 504-6 (Bavuma 35, Morris 20)
Silky stuff from Bavuma, effortlessly pushing Finn through the covers. And there's plenty more as he plays late to guide the ball behind point before pulling through mid-wicket for a third consecutive boundary. Only a diving stop from Compton prevents a fourth.
South Africa bring up the 500 and these two have raced to their 50 partnership.

"I wish umpires would take more control and just handle the game."
SA 498-6 (trail by 140)
Despite those three quick wickets, Bavuma has settled very quickly, easily dealing with Stokes' pace and line. And the ginger tyro is livid, making his thoughts known to the diminutive South African, which draws a warning from the umpires. 'Pick on someone your own size', perhaps.

"The game has moved forward and has been quite interesting since lunch but I still feel South Africa have done enough. England can still make it awkward for them but South Africa have taken up a lot of time and England still haven't got them out."
