Cape Town: England survived a top-order collapse on day five as the second Test against South Africa ended in a draw.
Resuming on 16-0, a second innings lead of 18, the tourists lost their top four cheaply and then fell to 116-6 as Dane Piedt dismissed both Ben Stokes (26) and James Taylor (27).
But Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali held the home side at bay before bad light ended play with England on 159-6.
For the first time in the match, cloudy conditions in the morning offered something for the bowlers and the home side took advantage.
Captain Alastair Cook was the first to go, feathering his second ball from Kagiso Rabada down the leg side and into the gloves of Quinton de Kock, followed soon after by fellow opener Alex Hales, brilliantly caught one-handed at third slip by the diving Chris Morris off Morne Morkel.
Cook's eight means he has now scored just 42 runs in his four innings so far this tour, while Hales' dismissal further highlights his fallibility outside off stump.
Joe Root and Nick Compton rallied slightly, adding 36 for the third wicket but both fell as they were gaining momentum - the former bowled by Morris for a run-a-ball 29 before the latter chipped Piedt to short mid-on to depart for 15.
After smashing a record-breaking 258 from 198 balls in the first innings, Stokes was required to demonstrate a more disciplined side to his game along with Taylor but both fell to Piedt in quick succession after a stand of 30 - Stokes misjudging a sweep to Morkel at deep mid-wicket and Taylor gloving a rising delivery to Temba Bavuma at short-leg.
The depth to which England bat was their saving in Cape Town, chiefly in the shape of Bairstow, who followed his 150 not out in the first innings with an unbeaten 30 during a stand of 43 with the equally resolute Moeen (10 not out).
The stand was not without its scares, the most notable of which was a stumping of Bairstow off spinner Dean Elgar, over which the video umpire took an age before deciding the Yorkshire player had made his ground by a toe's length.
