James Anderson completed a five-wicket haul as England dismissed South Africa for 223 on the third morning of the Cape Town Test, banking a lead of 46.

The Proteas resumed on 215 for eight and Anderson wasted little time wrapping things up.

Having dismissed Keshav Maharaj with the final ball of the previous evening, the 37-year-old seamer picked up where he left off as Kagiso Rabada nicked behind.
