NOTTINGHAM, United Kingdom (AFP) - South Africa were 160 for three in their second innings, a lead of 290 runs, at lunch on the third day of the second Test at Trent Bridge on Sunday.

Hashim Amla was 61 not out and Faf du Plessis, the South Africa captain, four not out. James Anderson picked two wickets and gave away 32 runs while Ben Stokes also picked up a wicket.

Earlier, Keshav Maharaj and Chris Morris shared six wickets as South Africa made light of Kagiso Rabada’s absence to establish a commanding position against England in the second Test. They bowled out England for 205, with left-arm spinner Maharaj taking three for 21 in 10 overs and recalled all-rounder Morris three for 38 in 8.5 overs.

England lead the four-match series 1-0 after their 211-run win in the first Test at Lord s last week.
