Basil D'Oliveira Trophy - 4th Test

South Africa v England

South Africa won by an innings and 74 runs

Overs 0-50

1.2

Morkel to Trott, FOUR, yikes, that's the length! Full, and lifting, taking the inside-edge of a loose drive and somehow evading the leg stump

England 7/1   IJL Trott 5* (4b 1x4)   M Morkel 0.2-0-4-0

5.2

Morkel to Cook, FOUR, on the pads, that's Cook's bread-and-butter stroke, and he flicks it nonchalently through square leg for England's first boundary

England 16/2   AN Cook 9* (13b 1x4)   M Morkel 2.2-0-9-1

6.4

Steyn to Cook, FOUR, classy shot, swinging late from a full length, but Cook worked with the angle and timed his clip to perfection

England 23/2   AN Cook 16* (20b 2x4)   DW Steyn 3.4-0-12-1

7.1

Morkel to Pietersen, FOUR, that'll cheer KP up. A freebie, overpitched on middle stump, and worked firmly through midwicket

England 30/2   KP Pietersen 5* (12b 1x4)   M Morkel 3.1-0-15-1

10.1

Steyn to Collingwood, FOUR, speared into the pads, flicked through midwicket. That'll do

England 43/4   PD Collingwood 6* (3b 1x4)   DW Steyn 5.1-0-22-1

10.3

Steyn to Collingwood, FOUR, onto the front foot, driven calmly through the gap at mid-off. There are runs to be had amid the attacking fields, and Collingwood is in the form to find them.

England 47/4   PD Collingwood 10* (5b 2x4)   DW Steyn 5.3-0-26-1

13.5

Parnell to Collingwood, FOUR, slightly overpitched and swinging in at Collingwood, who plays it nicely, waiting for it and turning it firmly to the square leg boundary

England 52/4   PD Collingwood 14* (18b 3x4)   WD Parnell 0.5-0-5-0

14.5

McLaren to Collingwood, FOUR, slightly floated up, half-volley length, Collingwood gleefully times it down the ground for a boundary

England 59/4   PD Collingwood 20* (21b 4x4)   R McLaren 1.5-1-7-0

15.2

Parnell to Bell, FOUR, this is nicely played, floated up and Bell caresses it through the covers for a boundary

England 63/4   IR Bell 6* (14b 1x4)   WD Parnell 1.2-0-9-0

18.4

McLaren to Bell, FOUR, good ball, lifting and moving away from an off-stump line, Bell plays it with soft hands and it runs off the face down to third man

England 80/4   IR Bell 14* (25b 2x4)   R McLaren 3.4-1-15-0

19.4

Kallis to Bell, FOUR, good probing stuff from Kallis, lifting a touch and swinging away, Bell follows it but with soft hands and it runs off the face for a boundary to third man

England 85/4   IR Bell 18* (28b 3x4)   JH Kallis 0.4-0-5-0

21.3

Kallis to Collingwood, FOUR, lovely shot, after a couple of sighters outside off, Collingwood firmly drives this through the covers to bring up a positive and crucial 50 partnership

England 90/4   PD Collingwood 35* (39b 5x4 1x6)   JH Kallis 1.3-0-9-0

26.3

McLaren to Bell, FOUR, good lifter outside off, but well played by Bell, soft hands, keeping the ball down, and third slip can't cut that off

England 104/4   IR Bell 23* (48b 4x4)   R McLaren 6.3-2-20-0

26.6

McLaren to Bell, FOUR, width, and walloped. Very well played as Bell seeks to be positive from the offset, and creams it through the covers

England 108/4   IR Bell 27* (51b 5x4)   R McLaren 7-2-24-0

30.6

McLaren to Prior, FOUR, on the pads, that's a freebie, and clipped in the air into the gap at square leg

England 119/5   MJ Prior 4* (3b 1x4)   R McLaren 9-3-28-1

31.3

Morkel to Bell, FOUR, good shot, pushed right back into the crease, but ever ready to lean back onto the front foot. Slightly over-pitched, and eased through the covers.

England 123/5   IR Bell 34* (69b 6x4)   M Morkel 8.3-1-30-3

35.2

Steyn to Prior, FOUR, a fraction short and pulled firmly in front of square. Prior states his intentions, he wasn't entirely in command of that stroke, but attack is what he does best

England 130/5   MJ Prior 10* (13b 2x4)   DW Steyn 7.2-0-31-1

40.1

Kallis to Broad, FOUR, good shot this, shortish outside off, Broad leant back and scythed it through the covers for a boundary

England 144/7   SCJ Broad 9* (9b 1x4)   JH Kallis 7.1-3-25-0

40.2

Kallis to Broad, FOUR, clear positive intent here! Short and Broad steps back and hooks it away on one knee, between the fielders in the deep for four to deep square

England 148/7   SCJ Broad 13* (10b 2x4)   JH Kallis 7.2-3-29-0

42.5

Kallis to Swann, FOUR, that is Swann's arc, full and crashed straight past the bowler for a boundary, nicely played

England 153/8   GP Swann 6* (11b 1x4)   JH Kallis 8.5-3-33-1

44.6

Kallis to Swann, FOUR, nicely played, controlled guide outside off down to third man for a welcome boundary

England 163/9   GP Swann 13* (18b 2x4)   JH Kallis 10-3-40-1

45.6

Steyn to Swann, FOUR, plays this very well though, shorter, Swann thought about it, and then helped it late, over the slips, with an upper-cut guide for a boundary to third man

England 168/9   GP Swann 17* (21b 3x4)   DW Steyn 13-1-47-4
Overs 0-50
