South Africa were 220 for nine in reply to England's first innings score of 362, a deficit of 142 runs, at stumps on Day Two of the fourth Test at Old Trafford on Saturday.


Temba Bavuma (46) was the top scorer for visitors. England pacer James Anderson claimed four wickets while Stuart Broad and Moil Ali took two wickets each.


Earlier, Jonny Bairstow made a dashing 99 before he was last man out in England's innings after falling just short of what would have been his fourth Test century. England lead the four-match Test series 2-1.
