Moeen Ali of England is congratulated by team mates after catching out Dane Vilas of South Africa off Stuart Broad's bowling during day one of the 3rd Test at Wanderers Stadium on January 14, 2016 in Johannesburg, South Africa.

England will be looking today to secure an edge over South Africa in day two of the third test in Johannesburg. Play resumes this afternoon (16H30 UAE time) with the hosts continuing on 267 for 7 in their first innings. Yesterday’s performance saw Steven Finn and Ben Stokes take two wickets each, with Stuart Broad and Moeen Ali adding one apiece. South Africa’s batsmen didn’t have a strong start Thursday, but an unbroken stand of 42 between Chris Morris and Kagiso Rabada gave the Proteas a late boost.
