England v South Africa - 4th Investec Test: Day One
Quinton de Kock grabbed a superb catch to send Westley back

Alastair Cook and Tom Westley revived England's innings after Keaton Jennings had edged Olivier to the keeper. The former England skipper looked shaky at the start but soon settled into his groove as he nudged and tucked his way into the 40s.

Just when it looked like Cook would go all the way this time around, Maharaj produced an absolute peach of a delivery to eke out an edge to de Kock.

Westley, meanwhile, was composing another one of his superlative knocks, flicking Maharaj elegantly through mid-wicket nonchalantly, however, Cook's dismissal set the cat amongst the pigeons. He nicked Kagiso Rabada behind and Quinton de Kock grabbed another stunner to send the latest experiment at no.3 back.
