    I saw Graeme Smith outside their team hotel this morning signing autographs, before boarding the team bus (the hotel is next to work)

    I said to him "make sure you get out before you reach 20, e.g. by driving at a wide one, and there'll be a £5 and a signed photo of Danny Hollands for you".

    great bowling by finn. clean through bat and leg knocking top of stumps.
    Looking good. little rain in the air though, should be ok.

    Great start lads. Saffers have had a lot of luck in this series so far, about time it turned in our favour. Well done Finn.

    I'm always happy to see Kallis getting out. Excellent player and all that, but he's always been willing to claim catches when they've clearly been grounded and he's failed to walk when he knows he's hit the ball. He deserves the odd bad decision against him.

    65-4.

    Could not agree more, how much luck has the opener Petersen had? His 180 in the last Test was so lucky it was outrageous, he must have played and missed 20 odd times.

    About time England had some luck go their way - the look on Kallis' face was priceless!

    I hope that rain delays a bit of play as I haven't seen England attack for ages. Last time was in oz. we only ever end up seeing batting and thats not as much fun.

    I’ll be hoping it goes to the fifth day. That’s how I’ve seen most cricket matches in the last couple of years.

    There are single tickets available for all days. £90 online or turn up & take a chance there may be some cheaper ones left.

    Just bought one for tomorrow & going Sunday as well.

    still a bit expensive for me. rather try and get in for £15/£20 maybe a tenner on some occasions. espicially as i know i'll be drinking a fair bit plus travel, i got to keep the ticket price cheap.
    most fifth days have been pretty good, have been ending around 3, 4 maybe, then off to the pub.

    Swann bowled Rudolph, 177-6 at the moment, be good to wrap them up for 250 maximum.

    Agree cafcfan1990 - SA bat all the way down, but 250... even with a couple of rookie batsmen and no figjam we should be capable of putting on a lead. Note choice of wording - I've been watching England too long!
