The ball is doing nothing, according to Michael Vaughan on TMS it went soft very early. They've complained to the umpires but have received short shrift. New ball due in 17 overs I think we're going to need some major success with the new ball if we're going to have any chance of saving this game let alone drawing it.

Tuffers was surmising earlier that they had a batch of soft balls (ooo er missus)

Well South Africa completely changed the game just before their second new ball, we desperately need to do that as well.

Not happy with tactics here, we're being too negative and it's not working.

Well one play and a miss, but other than that we look pretty flat.

I do wish we had Finn in this side, we are lacking pace and aggression.

The reality is that our score with the bat was below par and the bowling has been very ordinary.

This will give them a big wake up call and hopefully look @ the selections of Bopara/Bresnan

If we go 1 -0  down in a 3 match series we are really gonna struggle to even get a draw out of it

Broad has bowled very poorly as well. We are badly down on pace.

Oh thank god, well done Bres keep proving me wrong. Right we badly need to go through them now, need Kallis and De Villiers out quick. Anderson and Broad you need to up your game and pace massively.

5 sessions in a row to the Saffers now, England need a massive session after tea.
