Solid, if uninspiring start. Looking like an attitritional day! Can't wait til I get home for Christmas on Friday when I can watch it!

SA 80-2. Wicket would be handy about now to put them on the backfoot.

93-3 - Prince out to Swann

Pretty even at tea. 159-4 - just got de Villiers to break the partnership with Kallis.

He's a fooking pain that Kallis.

Onions is injured. So we've only 3 bowlers. Oh dear.

What else would you expect from the best player ever?

Poor, poor day for England. Pitch showing uneven bounce already and SA 250-4 having been put in. Long way back from here. Kallis = exceptional

Kallis is indeed exceptional as an all rounder. Neither the best batsman ever nor the best bowler ever, though. But I'm sure we've done that one to death on a different thread.

I think it's been done as well - but in my opinion he'd be remembered as a great for his batting and bowling record alone. Throw into that his number of catches and I reckon you've got a bit of a legend!

Aye, certainly up there near/at the top.

I hope we've learnt how to bat.

They've bowled alright today but struggling to get rid of the tail.

Paul Harris has never turned a ball in his life. Ian Bell, what are you thinking!? Trouble here - needs a typical Collingwood digging in and a Prior counter with a quick 50 to give us a bit of momentum.

Good lord that was close.

England know how to make things hard for themsleves!

Indeed, I think we need someone with a bit more discipline and half a brain cell at the crease.

COYWM.

38-2 in the second innings. Chasing 230-odd to catch up. Nice.

5 down, not even got 50 on the board.

sweet
