England, What are you doing?

England win the toss & bat first. Smith's ploy of opening the bowling with a spinner works. England - 3/15

The Rescue Act

Trott & Bopara get England out of the woods adding 99 for the 4th wicket.

SA Bounce Back

Tahir gets rid of Trott. Morkel sends Prior & Bopara back. Bopara's 60 & Trott's 52 the only highlight of the English innings.

A Paltry Score

Defeated by Ireland in the previous game the Englishmen need a win badly here. But how on earth are you going to defend 171 against a strong South African batting lineup?
