It’s day five of England’s second Test in South Africa and the tourists are on course to level the series.

Dom Sibley made 133 not out – his first ton in Test cricket – to become the first England opener to hit a century at Newlands since Jack Hobbs in 1910.

Ben Stokes also hit an impressive 72 to help put England in firm position for a final day push for victory.

Sibley, who scored 1,324 runs in County Championship Division One this summer at an average of almost 70, became the first England opener to score a century at Newlands since 1910
