Amla quits captaincy as England survive collapse : 2nd Test, Day 5 (Cape Town)

In a shock move, Hashim Amla resigned as captain immediately after his side drew the second Test against England.

Earlier, England survived a top-order collapse but Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali held on before bad light ended play after tea with England, who lead the four-match series 1-0, on 159-6.

England 629 for 6 dec (Stokes 258, Bairstow 150*, Hales 60, Root 50) and 159 for 6 (Bairstow 30*, Piedt 3-38) drew with South Africa 627 for 7 dec (Amla 201, Bavuma 102*, de Villiers 88, du Plessis 86, Morris 69).
