England are chasing another 226 runs in two sessions with six wickets in hand to beat South Africa at Lord's.

England were 4-120, needing a further 226 runs to reach their victory target of 346, at lunch on the fifth day of the third Test against South Africa at Lord's on Monday.

Jonathan Trott was 57 not out and Jonathan Bairstow 43 not out.
