55-1 at lunch, very cagey opening session. Tremlett's wicket with the last ball, and the lack of runs, means I guess it's a fairly even session.

Get the new guy early in the afternoon and then we are slightly ahead, think days 2/3 could be the best for batting.

England's day.

The lunch break saw me off.

We're on top after the late wickets but we weed to stop Hussey and Haddin getting a partnership going in the morning, then get into the tail.

Definitely our day, especially as they're barely scoring at more than 2 an over. Equivalent of one session lost to rain. Not sure how much more play might be lost on subsequent days. I assume we'll start 30 mins early tomorrow to make up time.

As always it's hard to be certain how the game might pan out until both teams have batted, but unless Hussey drops anchor we should have a good chance to go on and force another win.

Slightly off topic, but I'm just watching the SA v India match.....Are South African TV cameraman contractually obliged to spend the day scouring the crowd for scantily-clad young ladies?....

I ain't complaining, but it is starting to get a little obvious.....
