England are closing in on a series victory after setting South Africa an unlikely 466 to win on day three of the fourth Test in Johannesburg.
Mark Wood completed a five-wicket haul as the home side were bowled out for 183 before the lunch break.
England had an advantage of 217 runs, but declined to enforce the follow-on, instead opting to bat the Proteas out of the match on a pitch starting to show signs of uneven bounce.
Dom Sibley made 44 in steady progress to 92-2, after which a cluster of wickets fell amid England’s desire to push on after tea.
Captain Joe Root played a number of one-day strokes in his 58, sharing stands of 46 with Sam Curran and 34 with Wood.
Root was dismissed off the last ball of the day, his side 248 all out and now with two full days to take the 10 wickets that would seal only a second overseas series win in four years.
South Africa’s hopeless situation was compounded by the loss of Vernon Philander, who pulled up with a hamstring injury in what will be his final Test before international retirement.
Not only that, but Philander became the latest player in this series to be sanctioned by the International Cricket Council, being handed a fine of 15% of his match fee and one demerit point for using “inappropriate language” after dismissing England’s Jos Buttler on day two.
