A glorious summer day greets us here at Newlands with bright
sunshine and a gentle south easterly wind to keep everyone cool
The flags are at half mast in honour of the victims of the tragic
events surrounding the Tsunami and fund raising events abound
On the cricketing front we can expect Dippenaar to be back with
possibly Langeveldt replacing the youthful Steyn

niggle leaving place for Key as the likely replacement

Africa have won the toss and chosen to bat first

Honours just about even after the first session of play on the
first day of this 3rd Test Match of the Series

Yet again honours have been even as the jousting continued in the
final session
Perhaps England will be the happier of the two sides as they
managed to frustrate Dippenaar, and to a lesser extent, Smith out

Giles bowling to 6/3 fields and keeping the ball outside the right
handers legstump
and both Flintoff and Hoggard bowling to 7/2 fields without a fine
leg and both pitching it well outside off

Match State: Lunch - Day 2
Another evenish session although England will once again be the
happier of the two taking 3 wickets while South Africa amassed 90
runs
There is much still to play for here and had one of the wickets
been that of Kallis England would have been on top
There is still plenty of bounce which will continue to trouble the
batsmen
England will hope to remove one of the two remaining batsmen early
and then get into the tail to restrict South Africa to well below
400

Match State: Tea - Day 2
Yet once again the honours were shared although South Africa is
likely to be the happier of the two
Smith always wanted 450 and wont be unhappy that they ended 9 runs
short
England will need to bat sensibly and have the line up to do well
There bowlers where a touch short though and local knowledge is
sure to assist the South African bowlers
There is nothing to suggest that this battle will cease to be as
combatitive as it has been so be sure to join us after Tea as we
continue to bring you live coverage

thoughts as it stands
