- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR26.6 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 131/45.6 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 27/18.3 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 38/223.2 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 111/343.4 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 205/732.4 the bowling change works, as McLaren goes for a flashy drive well outside off stump but can only feather one through to Prior 155/536.2 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. 165/646.3 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 222/848.6 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 242/9Extras10 (lb 3, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL250/9 (50 Overs, RR: 5)Fall of wickets: 1-27 (Graeme Smith, 5.6 ov), 2-38 (AB de Villiers, 8.3 ov), 3-111 (Jean-Paul Duminy, 23.2 ov), 4-131 (Hashim Amla, 26.6 ov), 5-155 (Ryan McLaren, 32.4 ov), 6-165 (Albie Morkel, 36.2 ov), 7-205 (Alviro Petersen, 43.4 ov), 8-222 (Roelof van der Merwe, 46.3 ov), 9-242 (Dale Steyn, 48.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR41.3 but it won't be Trott who gets one as he tries to clear the boundary with a lofted clip off his legs and instead picks out Hashim Amla at deep square-leg 207/37.6 big breakthrough as Strauss goes, he tries to work the ball into the leg side but gets a leading edge that loops gently to backward point. A little more bounce played a part in that, but he was also early on the shot 28/111.3 pitched up, Pietersen tries an expansive shot through the leg side but can only inside edge on to his leg stump.

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.
