England vs South Africa, 3rd Test, Day 5 Live Updates: England Need 33 Runs To Seal Victory

England vs South Africa, 3rd Test, Day 5 Live Updates: England and South Africa will be facing each other in the 5th day of the third and final Test of the three-match series, on Monday at Kennington Oval, London. Chasing the target of 130 runs, England are just 33 runs away from victory with Alex Lees (32*) and Zak Crawley (57*), standing unbeaten at the crease. Victory would give England a sixth win in seven Tests since their new leadership duo of captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum took charge at the start of this season. England would also take a 2-1 lead over South Africa in the three-match Test series. (Live Scorecard)

South Africa dominated the morning session on Day 4 both with bat and ball and the game was well poised at that moment. The English seamers remained patient and cashed-in in the post-Lunch session when there was some movement on offer. The Proteas ended up setting up a target of just 130 runs and the England openers rose to the occasion. Zak Crawley smacked his first Test fifty of this summer for England,  a much-needed knock for him after facing a lot of criticism . They are coming into Day 5 to hunt down just 33 runs with 10 wickets in hand. Shouldn't be long before they seal the series and their summer on a high.

Hello and a warm welcome to all! It now time for Day 5 of the third and the final Test match between England and South Africa. We only got 3 days of play as Day 1 got washed out due to rain and Day 2 was called off to pay respect to the sad demise of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. So, out of the 9 sessions in hand, it looks like we will only require 7 sessions to get a result on our hands. Throughout this Test series we have never played for whole 5 days.
