Andrew Strauss pouched a low catch at first slip off Andrew Flintoff which appeared to have dismissed Proteas opener Neil McKenzie. However, as England celebrated a success that would have left South Africa 59 for two, McKenzie interrupted his walk back to the pavilion to address Strauss. Bet now at Ladbrokes Having been asked whether it was a clean take, Strauss shrugged his shoulders and third umpire Ian Gould was asked to adjudicate. As in the previous contest at Headingley, when Michael Vaughan's catch was annulled, TV replays did not prove conclusive. That gave South Africa, whose innings this morning began late and included a further 20-minute stoppage for a shower, a reprieve. Just 15 deliveries were possible before rain halted play at Edgbaston this morning to frustrate England's attempts to fight back. Following a 15-minute delay at the start of the day due to wet weather, England were afforded a short burst at second-wicket duo McKenzie and nightwatchman Paul Harris. But Ryan Sidebottom's only over cost 10 runs as McKenzie found the ropes twice via a leg glance and a guide to third man. South Africa progressed to 51 for one, having lost captain Graeme Smith to Andrew Flintoff's bowling yesterday evening. Coach Peter Moores called for his side to show their character today after being dismissed for just 231 on a good Birmingham surface on day one. England are 1-0 down with this the penultimate contest in the npower series. |
