Rookie off-spinner Dom Bess claimed his first Test five-wicket haul as England moved into a strong position on the third day of the third Test against South Africa at St George's Park on Saturday.
Bess took the first five wickets as South Africa struggled to 208 for six in reply to England's 499 for nine declared, still 291 runs in arrears - and 92 short of avoiding the follow-on.
"It was awesome. I love bowling. To have that repsonsibility and then to back it up, it gives me more confidence," said Bess.
"I'm quite an optimistic bloke anywhere. There's four more out there so I'm hunting to get them."
