There’s a lot of money at stake later on in this competition, but right now it’s all about practice and pride.

Yesterday, the Stanford Superstars saw off the under-dogs of Tobago and Trinidad by 22 runs; tonight it’s the turn of England and Middlesex to pamper in some domestic point-scoring.

By the close of the second day’s play at a gloomy Edbgaston, South Africa had moved on to 256-6 in reply to England’s below-par first-innings total of 231.

But Flintoff took four wickets to drag England back in to a game.

Michael Vaughan is hoping a week of intensive practice allows him to end a personal run Deficiency in the crucial third Test against South Africa.

England’s performance has prompted them to make two changes for this week’s third match at Edgbaston with Paul Collingwood being recalled to stiffen the batting and left-arm seamer Ryan Sidebottom replacing Nottinghamshire team-mate Stuart Broad.

Hopefully England will play a good match( touch wood ) in the third innings.

South Africa ends the day in control of the second test, 119 runs ahead of England’s total of 203 with six first-innings wickets in hand. Ashwell Prince has brought up a second century in as many tests, and in sharing an unbroken 179-run stand with de Villiers, the visitors are wrestling the game away from England. It has been a frustrating day for the home side, picking up only one wicket and not gaining too much assistance from the pitch.

Hope we will have good match today on day 3.

At the end of 1st day South Africa lost their 3 wickets on 101 runs. Hopefully we will see the result in this 2nd test match.

We have seen nice match between England vs South Africa. It was a big match. In one match they had 6 Centuries by both the teams.

Kevin Pietersen has been Amazingly quiet in the build-up to this series, but he didn’t miss the opportunity to make the strongest of statements on the opening day at Lord’s. In his first Test against the country of his birth and he put England in command, adding an unbeaten 192 with Ian Bell for the fourth wicket, following an opening stand of 114 by Alastair Cook and Andrew Strauss.

Ian Bell became the seventh batsman, and first English man, to fall for 199 in Tests, but the most commanding innings of his career covered England’s dominance at Lord’s as they piled up 593 for 8.

An outstanding collective effort from England’s attack take to pieces of South Africa for 247 on the third day and left them following on at Lord’s. Monty Panesar took the bowling honours with four wickets during a spell which highlighted his importance to the team in this series.

Hashim Amla’s fifth Test hundred guided South Africa safely to a draw on the fifth and final day at Lord’s. Two days ago, it seemed unlikely the visitors scrap it out into the fifth, yet it was England – the team who so dominated the first three days – who trudged off 75 minutes after tea. South Africa may not have won, but they will take heart from their naturally persistent performance with the second Test only four days away.

Facing South Africa’s experienced batting line-up, the home attack dismissed them for a lowly 247 – despite Ashwell Prince’s battling century – just a day after England had recorded a massive total of 593 for eight declared.

It was high-class bowling and enabled England to enforce the follow-on with South Africa still trailing by 346 at a Lord’s ground where they have triumphed on each of their three tours since re-admission to the international sporting community.

The tourists reached 13 without loss by the close of a compelling third day, but they looked a dispirited unit by stumps after England followed their domination with the bat with an equally impressive bowling effort.
