England vs South Africa: Follow this space for the live scorecard and ball-by-ball updates on the third and final Test between England and South Africa at The Oval in London. The Test match between England and South Africa will begin at The Oval and the Women's T20I match between England and India will also go ahead at the Riverside in Durham Ultimately it was a fairly unbelievable day of cricket, from the moment of collective respect for a Queen whose reign had been long enough to encompass every Test victory in India’s cricketing history to the 17 wickets that fell in the sessions that followed it – an extraordinary day that was both this Test’s first and third and one we are unlikely to ever see the likes of again. England’s bowlers were superb right from the start, Ollie Robinson soon had the crowd on their feet once more, this time in celebration, Dean Elgar’s off stump sent flying through the air, silence from The Oval replaced by a joyous roar. Stuart Broad was excellent for his 4/41, but the star was Robinson who picked up a career best 5/49 to put England in a position of superiority that ultimately they may feel they had squandered a little by the close. There was the inevitable loss of the openers, but when Joe Root and then debutant Harry Brook were together with Ollie Pope in the middle, the hosts would have been eyeing a healthy first innings lead. There were cameos from Khaya Zondo and Marco Jansen, whose performance added further weight to the argument that his non-selection in the second Test was pure madness, but England soon had South Africa all out for 118, just sneaking into their top 50 worst totals of all time. There was perhaps a danger that the emotion of the moment could have overwhelmed some of the players, they can after all have never experienced a start to the day quite like it, however of the two sides it was not England who looked out of step to begin with. It began with spine-tingling silence, a capacity crowd of over 27,000 people on their feet and completely noiseless for almost ten minutes – from the moment the teams made their way down the dressing room steps until both national anthems had been sung, not a sound to be heard in the entire ground – an extraordinarily unified moment of solemn respect.
