0808: Last year, De Wet was playing for Chorley in the Northern Leagues. Big day for the lad. Interestingly, Graeme Smith says he would have batted had he won the toss - seems to think the early greenness won’t last, and that the pitch could crumble on the fourth and fifth days. Who’s made the right call Big first two hours about to be served up.
0800: ENGLAND WIN THE TOSS and put South Africa in. Big news that - this pitch looks as if it might be lively early on - and bigger still is the news that Steyn is definitely out - late injury woe. In comes 29-year-old Friedel de Wet for his Test dayboo. It’s all happening…
0750: No official team news, but rumours that Bell is in at six, with a bowling attack of Anderson, Broad, Onions and Swann. And even bigger rumours that Dale Steyn might be a dramatic late drop-out…
0741: Centurion, a bright summer’s morning, the strip gleaming with greenish menace in the mid-morning sun. That’s more like it.
0740: “Boom boom boom,” sang the Outhere Brothers. “Let me hear you say wa…” Hold on - that’s not working…
