Stumps on day 3. South Africa are in a commanding position picking up the all important wickets of Strauss and Vaughan. At the end of days play England were 50-2 trailing by 269 runs. Ntini took the wicket of Strauss and Vaughan. Anderson was at the crease as a night watchman. England will have to battle for two more days to squeeze out a draw.

Hello and welcome to our coverage of day 2 of the second Test between England and South Africa. The start of play has been delayed by 20 mins due to wet outfield. We all are waiting to get started as we had a wonderful opening day's play yesterday. If the final two days at Lord's were drab, the first day was full of action and controversies.
Stumps on day 1 of the second Test. Mixed day of fortunes for both the teams. South Africa first bowled out England for a paltry 203 and then the hosts came out all guns blazing to reduce South Africa to 101-3. Smith top scored with 44. Anderson took two wickets while Flintoff took one. Join us tomorrow for the commentary of day 2.

Strauss and Cook will open the batting for England.
Billy Bowden (NZ) and Daryl Harper (AUS) are the two officiating umpires for this Test.
The coin is in the air and Smith calls it right. He has decided to push the opposition in to bat after winning the toss.
We have a delayed start because of wet outfield. The groundsmen are busy along the ground with the ropes to get the water off the grass. Headingley has always been a good hunting ground for the bowlers and the rain will also help the captain during the toss.
Good day and welcome to our coverage of the second Test match between England and South Africa. The opening Test at Lords ended in a stalemate and both sides will be keen to draw first blood in this match being played at Leeds.
Freddie Flintoff is back in the fray after a gap of 18 months and England will be hoping the all-rounder continues the good run he showed at the domestic level. The 30-year-old all rounder has picked up only 8 wickets from four Tests he has played at Leeds. He led England in his last Test against Australia at Sydney in January 2007 which resulted in a defeat with Australia claiming a 5-0 whitewash in the Ashes. It would be imperative to recollect that England had set a world record for fielding the same side in their last six straight Tests.
The second Test against South Africa is also Michael Vaughan's 50th Test as England skipper.
