CENTURION, South Africa (AP) South Africa pushed on to 421-8 in its first innings against England in the fourth and final test after a bullish 85 not out from recalled wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock on Saturday.

De Kock rallied the middle and lower order with partnerships of 62 with Temba Bavuma, 50 with Kyle Abbott, and 35 unbeaten with Dane Piedt.

That helped them pass 400 for only the second time in their last nine tests.
