After the run-fest of the last two days, the casual observer might have thought that South Africa would settle in today for a long hard tilt at a big total.
The causal observer would have been wrong. Where Steyn and Ntini stuggled, Anderson, Broad and Sidebottom struck. And that was before Monty took 4-74 to leave South Africa 146 short of saving the follow-on. The ultimate embarrassment for Graeme Smith’s men? The last wicket taker, who then opened the second innings bowling owing to dodgy light in the evening gloom.
