Stumps 4.50 pm: It is stumps for real this time. The players, led by Amla, troop off. South Africa have batted fabulously on a flat pitch to survive two days and draw this Test. Amla remains unbeaten on 104, following centuries from Smith and McKenzie. Panesar toiled for 60 overs without a wicket in the second innings. England used six new-ball bowlers in this Test.
Shame it had to end this way really. The players appeared to think the game was over when the light was offered but then the sun came out once again and we had two overs - from KP and Cook, who made his bowling debut in Tests - before both captains decided to call it off.
When the day began, however, it was filled with promise. England needed nine wickets but they were unable to break a succession of determined and patient South African batsman. This is the sixth consecutive draw at Lord's.
Ian Bell is the Man of the Match for his 199 in the first innings.
That's it from us at Cricinfo today. On behalf of all the commentators during this Test - Gnasher, Will, Jenny and Jamie - this is George Binoy signing off . See you for the second Test, which begins on Friday at Headingley. Cheers.
Cook's bowling, his first ball in Test cricket. He bowls off spin by the way.
