Second Test, Durban: Captains Andrew Strauss (second left) and Graeme Smith (second right) meet in the middle for the toss of the coin. Smith wins and decides his side will bat first
The decision to bat first backfires early on as James Anderson has Ashwell Prince caught by Graeme Swann at third slip for two
Stuart Broad then gets in on the act by trapping Hashim Amla lbw to reduce the hosts to 10-2 on a baking hot day at Kingsmead Park
After England's good start, Kevin Pietersen (left) has a word with Smith as the hosts' captain and Jacques Kallis set about rebuilding their innings
Smith and Kallis share a stand of 57 up to the lunch interval, although they have the odd anxious moment, including a stumping appeal against Smith which was sent upstairs to the third umpire
Pietersen is given a spell fielding on the boundary, where the crowd are able to exchange pleasantries with the South Africa-born England batsman
Smith is the first to his half-century but Kallis, seen here hooking, quickly follows up to record his 52nd half-century in Test cricket
Strauss looks on despairingly after misfielding a shot by Smith. England fail to take a wicket in the afternoon session as South Africa move on to 151-2
England finally break through shortly after tea as Swann has Kallis comfortably caught at first slip by Paul Collingwood to leave South Africa 160-3. Kallis's stand with Smith was worth 150
As often happens with long partnerships both batsmen fall in quick succession - Smith following Kallis back to the pavilion after being run out by Alastair Cook following a mix-up with AB de Villiers
Graham Onions (left) bowls with good control all day and finally gets his reward with the wicket of JP Duminy, who is trapped plumb in front for four to leave the hosts 170-5
South Africa reach 175-5 before the sky darkens and De Villiers and Mark Boucher accept the offer of bad light, to Strauss's consternation. However, the rain soon sweeps in and play is eventually abandoned for the day
