We know how much the Queen loved sport, and the show must go on.’ ‘Most of the conversations that I had were with the England and Wales Cricket Board and we both felt that bringing people together at this particular time, having both had the honour and respect of the day of cancellation on Friday, was the right decision and the right thing to do.

Unless otherwise stated elsewhere, this would be the first time it has been sung at a sports event involving England since 1952 before the death of King George VI. The anthem was led by soprano Laura Wright, who is a regular when England plays rugby Tests at Twickenham.

Third Test got underway with stirring tributes to Her Majesty, the Queen, after the first day was washed out and the second was suspended.

Zondo, chosen to play after Aiden Markram's struggle for form prompted yet another change, remained not out at the lunch break, as did Jansen. Robinson then claimed his fifth when he had Jansen comfortably taken by Joe Root at first slip. Then play commenced in slightly more batter-friendly conditions than when Ben Stokes won the toss and opted to bowl first 48 hours earlier.

Jansen stuck around and top scored for 30 and Zondo showed some potential with a fighting 23, but it's a sorry scorecard for the Proteas who have just recorded ...

That is a dreadful shot from Mulder, regardless of the context of the game. Anderson comes back into the attack and starts with a maiden to Jansen. What a session for England as they ripped out the South African top order. The final ball of the first over of the session kicks enough off a back of a length and takes the shoulder of Zondo’s blade. Jansen is takes three runs – first with a couple through cover and another down the ground – before Maharaj scampers a single to get off the mark with a cheekily scampered run. Jansen is more circumspect and is able to ride the bounce with more comfort. 35th over: South Africa 110-9 (Rabada 6, Nortje 0) Rabada’s gentle and well timed flick through midwcket for three suggested that the remaining Saffas might concentrate and drag out as many runs as they can. The South African’s half heartedly go up for a catch at backward point but the TV replay shows Crawley thunked it into the ground first. 2nd over: England 10-0 (Lees 6, Crawley 4) Marco Jansen (the missing lovechild of Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Alan Mullally?) is going to send down his south-paw slingers from the other end. Sun out at The Oval and a very appreciative crowd, cheering every run and oohing and ahhhing almost every ball. 8th over: England 35-1 (Crawley 5, Pope 16) Shot! 10th over: England 44-2 (Pope 22, Root 1) Joe Root does his road runner thing as he scampers out onto the field, legs pumping like a pistons.

Helpful conditions notwithstanding, Robinson, Broad and Anderson were outstanding, Robinson ending with five for 49, Broad four for 41 and Anderson one for ...

Zondo gets off the mark in his second Test with a poke through point for a single. Broad pins Zondo with the final ball of the over and, to his credit, he seems the most reluctant to send it upstairs. A seventh over for Robinson, which may be his last, however hungry he will be for another 5Wi. Anderson tightens his line and Zondo works it away square for a single. The next ball is shorter and Jansen fiddles it off his hip for a single. Anderson carries on for the final over before lunch on an incident-rich morning for England. Broad lured Jansen on to the rocks of a drive and he got quite a chunk of it but Foakes spilled it to his right. Robinson returns and Jansen drives straight past him for two, the bowler pitching it up. Heart in mouth moment for Maharaj who leaves on line and the ball zips back from outside off and clears middle and leg by barely an inch. Left-arm quick, over the wicket, Jansen ducks it back in to Lees through the gate as the opener tried to press it through mid on with a tight grip. Maharaj throws the bat into a cut and scythes it through point for four. Maharaj rotates through a pull above the ball when Broad bangs one in and ducks another bouncer.
