Ben Stokes and Ollie Pope both hit centuries as a dominant England took control of the third test against South Africa. They declared on 499 before restricting the Proteas to 60 runs for 2 wickets at the close of the second day. South Africa now trail by 439 runs and will have to bat through the weekend to save the Test match. While Pope scored an unbeaten 135, his maiden test ton, Stokes hammered a solid 120.
