After the glory of last summer's Ashes series, coach Andy Flower and captain Andrew Strauss hope England can clinch another famous series win in the final Test against South Africa in Johannesburg
England spring a surprise by changing their side. Saying they want to freshen things up, the tourists bring in left-arm paceman Ryan Sidebottom for Graham Onions, the last-over hero from Centurion and Newlands
First ball and Strauss is out - caught superbly by Hashim Amla at short leg off Dale Steyn. It's a long walk back for Strauss, who may now regret his decision to bat first on a green wicket
South Africa rush to congratulate Amla, whose catch has given the home side a dream start. They have handed Wayne Parnell and Ryan McLaren their Test debuts with spinner Paul Harris dropped and Friedel de Wet injured
Second over and England are 7-2 after a fired-up Morne Morkel traps a nervous Jonathan Trott leg before wicket for five - it's pandemonium out in the middle...
Kevin Pietersen's hopes of a much-needed big innings are shattered when he mistimes a pull straight into the hands of Parnell off Morkel and is out for seven as England slump to 30-3
Alastair Cook is controversially given out lbw after referring the original decision. Replays suggest Morkel's delivery is a no-ball but to England's dismay third umpire Daryl Harper gives the opener out for 21 - 39-4
The situation seems tailor-made for Paul Collingwood and he doesn't disappoint, calmly steadying the ship with Ian Bell, but also scoring freely as England look to rebuild their innings
Somewhat uncharacteristically, Collingwood hits the final ball of a dramatic first session for six and England go to lunch on 100-4, but there's a lot of work to do in the second session...
Shortly after lunch and South Africa strike a massive blow when McLaren finds a leading edge and England's rock Collingwood is gone, caught by JP Duminy at point, for 47
Bell, having battled hard for 35, is beaten all ends up by a stunning inswinging delivery from an inspired Steyn and England are now in disarray on 133-6
Matt Prior hits two attacking boundaries but then gloves an attempted hook behind to Mark Boucher and the impressive Steyn has his third wicket
Stuart Broad's dismissal for 13 brings in Sidebottom but, facing only his sixth ball, he edges Steyn behind and wicketkeeper Boucher does the rest. England 155-9
England 180 all out: Graeme Swann plays with his customary gusto and smashes three fours and a six but Steyn claims his fifth wicket and Boucher his third catch to end the innings on the stroke of tea
Ashwell Prince and Graeme Smith start cautiously but their innings is interrupted when, as predicted, rain starts falling and the players are called off with the score 16-0
Skipper Smith just gets back into his crease in time to thwart Cook's run-out attempt and South Africa continue to frustrate England when bad light ends play with the hosts 29-0
