A gritty 85 not out from opener Dom Sibley ground down South Africa's bowlers as England took control on the third day of the second Test against South Africa at Newlands.
Sibley, playing in only his fourth Test, came in during the morning session after James Anderson had picked up the last two South African wickets to finish with 5-40 and give England a first innings lead of 46.
By the close, Sibley was still there and England had reached 218 for four, stretching their overall lead to 264.
Sibley's 85, his first Test half-century, came off a painstaking 222 balls in just under six hours and included 13 boundaries.
It was slow going but it consolidated England's advantage after Anderson and Ben Stokes combined to secure an important first innings lead.
Anderson completed his 28th Test five-wicket haul - an England record - and Stokes caught last man Anrich Nortje to set an England Test record of five catches by a fielder.
