South Africa set up tough chase for England

Join us again tomorrow to find out whether England will beat the odds and claim a win or if South Africa will salvage some pride with a win in the final Test.

Only 8 times in Test history has a side batted through a whole final day when starting 3 wickets down #bbccricket pic.twitter.com/6WpLNbjZSj

The odds are certainly stacked against England as they finish day four still needing 330 runs to win with just seven wickets in hand. But will they go for the win or be content with a draw? History suggests, they should try to do the former.

That's it from SuperSport Park. England end on 52/3. Rabada has 2-15, Morkel 1-12 #SunfoilTest #SAvENG #ProteaFire pic.twitter.com/Q34928cJbt

Morkel is able to sneak in another over but nothing comes of it as England end the day on 52/3.

This might well be the final over of the day from Rabada. Can England hang on? England 44-3
