Tea South Africa 419 (Petersen 182, Smith 52, Duminy 48*, Broad 3-96) vEngland Alviro Petersen had been the batsman in South Africa's top six that England least worried about, the only one to fail during the visitors' crushing innings victory at The Oval. For Petersen to respond with 182, his highest Test score, did not really fit the script, especially as the script also involved England winning the toss in the second Test and putting South Africa in to bat, anticipating that their quartet of fast bowlers would cause mayhem. Instead, the tourists survived until tea on the second day.
