CENTURION, South Africa (AP) Fast bowler Kagiso Rabada's career-best 7-112 set South Africa up for a big lead over England in the fourth test on Sunday.

Rabada rattled through England's top and middle order as the tourists were bowled out for 342 after South Africa's 475.

South Africa had stretched its lead to 175 when bad light stopped play on the third day at SuperSport Park, reaching 42-1 in its second innings.

Rabada's rich return, which included a burst of three wickets in two overs just before lunch, put South Africa in position for a desperately needed win to regain some lost pride.

England has already clinched the four-match series with a 2-0 lead ahead of this last test. South Africa hasn't won in its previous nine tests.
