0747: I hope everybody had a splendid Yule and that Santa Claus brought you everything you wanted. Do not hesitate to send in your various tales of Christmas day highs and lows, of rows and reconciliation, of ropey cardigans and ill-chosen lingerie, of stroppy children and ungrateful nans. My highlight was my nieces turn as Alan the Performing Bun. Don’t ask, but it was better than Gavin and Stacey. England: Strauss, Cook, Trott, Pietersen, Collingwood, Bell, Prior, Broad, Swann, Anderson, Onions0740: Hello you, and a merry St Stephen’s Day to you both, whatever that is. The news from Durban is that South Africa have won the toss and they’re going to have a bat. England have resisted the temptation to drop Ian Bell and bring in an extra bowler, while the hosts have made one change, with Dale Steyn, their premier fast bowler, in for Friedel de Wet, who brought England to their knees in Centurion.This article is from the BBC News website. © British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
