    26.6 this time he's gone! The ball after being given a life and it's almost an action replay...Amla plays early and is done by a lack of pace and a touch of tennis-ball bounce, this time the chance goes to short cover where Strauss holds on 131/4
    5.6 there's the breakthrough, good line outside off, Smith pushes with a half-open face and sends a comfortable edge to first slip...he was trying to steer that to third man, but the ball was too close to him 27/1
    8.3 that's a Collingwood special...he marks becoming England's most capped ODI player by pulling off a blinder at backward point as de Villiers cuts in the air. It came out of the middle, but Collingwood dived to his left and got both hands to the catch...that's a wicket for the fielder 38/2
    23.2 big breakthrough for England...Wright rewarded for a probing spell as Duminy pushes outside off and gets a thin, low edge through to Matt Prior. Like Smith, he was trying to find third man and pays the price 111/3
    43.4 gone! Timely breakthrough from Bresnan, a good delivery beats Petersen as he looks to guide the ball away and clips the top of the stumps 205/7
    32.4 the bowling change works, as McLaren goes for a flashy drive well outside off stump but can only feather one through to Prior 155/5
    36.2 great catch! dragged down from Collingwod and Morkel's swipe to deep square-leg is slightly mistimed. Morgan timed his jump perfectly to hold an excellent catch. 165/6

    46.3 gone...England continue to chip away and Anderson collects his third, although it wasn't a great ball as van der Merwe clips a leg-stump delivery straight into the hands of midwicket on the edge of the ring 222/8
    48.6 well, the extra ball allows him to end with a wicket as Steyn tries to heave over midwicket and doesn't get any real distance on the shot 242/9

Match Notes

England tour of South Africa 2009-10 News

  • The snappers' take on England touring life

    If you’ve ever wondered what cricket journalists get up to on tour, then boil the kettle, set aside 25 minutes, and observe (with wry bemusement) the antics of Fleet Street’s finest on England’s recent tour of South Africa.

  • Another coach derailed

    Mickey Arthur's departure as South Africa coach is confirmation of where the power lies in the dressing room. Coaches might pick the team but they certainly don't have total control or accountability for team affairs

  • Lloyd and Lockie to lead UDRS investigation

    Advocate Brent Lockie, a senior barrister from Edinburgh, will team up with the former West Indies captain, Clive Lloyd, to carry out an independent investigation into the Umpire Decision Review System controversy

  • Cooky and Belly take charge

    There's a new regime leading England. We check in with the men at the top

  • ICC plans meeting to tackle review system

    The ICC is planning a meeting with television broadcasters in March to sort out problems arising from the Umpire Decision Review System
