Broad had a spell of five wickets for one run to send South Africa crashing to 71 for eight at tea, a paltry lead of 61.

England led on the first innings by 10 runs after being bowled out for 323 and the match was evenly poised as South African opening batsmen Dean Elgar and Stiaan van Zyl put on 23 runs at the start of the second innings, with Broad having conceded 13 of the runs.
