Alastair Cook was six not out and Keaton Jennings 10 not out in what is the 100th Test staged at The Oval.


Earlier, Toby Roland-Jones became just the sixth England cricketer to take five or more wickets in their debut bowling innings in Test cricket with a return of five for 57 as South Africa were dismissed for 175 in reply to the hosts' 353.


Temba Bavuma top-scored for South Africa with 52 before he was last man out, caught behind off Middlesex seamer Roland-Jones.


This four-match series is level at 1-1.
