00:0031, 101 for two.

00:03Joe Root, the skipper, he's a prize wicker, we all know that.

00:10Oh, that's beautifully played.

00:12This is the last over before the break, and that is a superb shot from Root.

00:24Oh, he'll keep at them.

00:26It's just not a very good ball.

00:29He'll argue, and that's I think, that that approach will put the heat back on Maharaj.

00:38They'd expect they'd get there.

00:40It's a nice shot.

00:43Didn't hit it hard at all, just timed it.

00:46Was in control as well, looking to make sure that he got over it in case it came out of that rough.

00:54Nice shot.

00:56It's well played.

00:57Oh, well placed.

00:58Four runs.

01:00Yeah, rough.

01:01No rough.

01:02Rough.

01:03Footmarks.

01:04No footmarks.

01:05Joe Root.

01:06Marvellous.

01:09Stunning shot.

01:10Not letting Keshe Maharaj dictate turns in any fashion.

01:17Look at this.

01:18There's control.

01:19He hasn't hit it up.

01:20He's hit it down.

01:21He's hit it into the ground.

01:29Nicely worked.

01:30Not a full on drive from Root.

01:32It's a shorter boundary.

01:34Chase is on.

01:35Gone for four.

01:36Yeah, good hands, Joe Root.

01:42He's a touch player, really.

01:44What you'll see here is he just uses his hands to get the ball in the gap.

01:50He knows exactly where the fielders are.

01:52There's one just behind square on the offside and one at an orthodox cover.

01:55So he's just searching for that gap.

01:58And that's how he found it, by using his hands.

02:00Full toss.

02:01That's fine.

02:02I think it's going to beat Rubada.

02:03Yes, it is.

02:04That's gone for four.

02:05Same point, really, as was made about Root a couple of overs ago, whereas he steered one

02:19through the offside with his hands.

02:21What he does here is he gets it fine.

02:23He knows where the fielder is on the boundary, and he's quite square.

02:26So you'll see he's trying to get that as fine as he can by using his hands and his wrists.

02:32Awareness all the time.

02:35Where the field is and where runs can be scored.

02:41His top score so far in the series is 48.

02:44The second innings in first.

02:46Danny sweeps hard.

02:48In front of square.

02:49He's playing with that man behind square.

02:53That's a really good 50.

02:55Joe Root's taken control of the match.

03:00Simply has gone with him on a splendid journey.

03:04The pair have now put on 102 together.

03:06You can sense Root's delight, acknowledging the many English supporters in the ground.

03:12This is 46.

03:13Test match 50.

03:14Test match 50.

03:15Yeah, he's played beautifully today, has Joe Root.

03:18After his first ball, he got a very, very good bumper.

03:23From then on in, and the rest of today, as we've seen, he's just manipulated the field.

03:30He's hit the ball where he's wanted to hit the ball.

03:33The previous delivery was a fine sweep.

03:35That's the sweep in front of square.

03:37Chissa Rabada's now gone squarer.

03:39Fafdi Placita to make another fielding change.

03:42Two happiest men as we pan to those dressing rooms will be Broad and Anderson.

04:00He's got two wickets in the first innings, and there is nothing better.

04:07Gone!

04:09Dwyane Pretorius, who has done his job admirably in game one and game two, gets a big wicket

04:25here, and what a time to get it.

04:28A couple of overs away from the new ball.

04:31Yeah, finally, someone hits that crack outside Ostam.

04:38Finally, someone just gets the ball to deviate.

04:41Everything that England was doing from the Weinberg end yesterday, moved away.

04:46He's played beautifully, has to go for 61.

04:49217 for three.
