5th over: Eng 5-0

14th over: Eng 39-2
Single apiece to the batsman off Andrew Hall, and Pietersen gets a laser stare from all 11 members of the South African side.

41st over: Eng 136-8
Pollock in, and huge cheers as Monty drives him off the back foot for a single. Brief taster of the subject-lines in the emails now coming in: "Disgrace" (455), "Rubbish" (621), "I Sell You Viagra" (4,890 - I forgot to put Spam Manager on).
