Kagiso Rabada's burst of three wickets just before lunch rattled England to leave the tourists 6-211 and still 264 runs behind South Africa in the fourth and final cricket Test at SuperSport Park in Centurion.

Rabada removed Joe Root for 76, James Taylor and Jonny Bairstow in the 15 minutes before lunch to put South Africa in control of a series ender it is desperate to win to regain some lost pride.

England has already clinched the four-match series with a 2-0 lead ahead of the last game.

England lost four wickets in total in the morning session on the third day, starting with captain Alastair Cook for 76.

Rabada completed a five-wicket haul when he had Root out to a thin edge behind, and then removed Taylor and Bairstow in his next over.
