Time difference, so im at school at tht time.
13th over: WICKET - Vaughan lbw Nel 17, Eng 37-2 12th over: Eng 37-1It's Bombay or bust for this pair at the moment - Strauss rocks back to charl and batters him high over the square leg boundary for a massive six. He then gets a big edge which falls just short of first slip.
11th over: Eng 29-1Strauss has clearly been sitting too close to his captain in team meetings and been laid low with a bad case of Vaughanitis - he scratches feebly against Pollock before scrambling a single off the final ball. Andre Nel, everyone's favourite cartoon villain, throws the stumps down pointlessly from about four yards away, stares hard at Vaughan and then grins like the Cheshire cat.
10th over: Eng 28-1Ah - Vaughan was just toying with us - he pulls Charl high over square leg for four, and then pushes him off the back foot wide of midwicket for another. That's right - he's hit two fours, both deliberately. Charl looks ashamed.
9th over: Eng 19-1It's chaos out there - after ending the last over by top-edging a Bellesque horror-pull over Boucher's head for four, Vaughan almost runs out new-man Strauss with a suicidal yes-no nightmare. De Villiers' throw misses by a breadth of a cream cracker. Strauss picks himself up and gets off the mark with a two flicked to leg. Gulp.
8th over: WICKET - Bell c Prince b Langeveldt 7, Eng 9-1 That'll teach 'em - Bell swipes horribly at one way outside off and spoons it high to square leg, where Prince does the simple honours. Widespread disgust in the BBC commentary box - that was an absolute shocker of a shot...
7th over: Eng 9-0Kaboom! Vaughan gets off the mark after a mere 20 deliveries, getting a thick edge through gully for one. You can't defend against those sort of fireworks. Bell does the same, and England are rampant.
6th over: Eng 7-0Bell shovels Charl away for two and then fences blindly at the remaining five. You haven't lost it - this
is a one-day international.
5th over: Eng 5-0Don't want to worry England fans here, but Vaughan's facing Pollock with all the success of a man waving a wet piece of spaghetti at a passing pea. Another maiden, and various fielders trot past the skipper to offer a few kind words of advice.
4th over: Eng 5-0Bell marches down the track to Charl and clips him through midwicket for the first four of the day. Charl wipes his sweaty bonce and then produces a ball which - get this - beats Bell's poke and clips the varnish of off-stump without displacing the bail. Huge appeal for a catch behind by Boucher and Smith, but nothing can be given - and Smith looks almost sick with disbelief.
3rd over: Eng 1-0Joy unconfined - a run for England! Bell jabs at a short one and runs it down to third man for a single. Huge cheers from the massed ranks of England fans in the stands; ironic applause and whistles from the South African punters.
2nd over: Eng 0-0The massive Charl Langeveldt opens from the other end, and it's as you were - six shortish of a length outside off, and Vaughan leaves 'em all alone. He's doing that strangely camp thing with his head when he's waiting for the delivery, looking over his left shoulder in a very Larry Grayson manner.
1st over: Eng 0-0
With shaking hands I type the words: "No wickets lost". Pollock opens to Bell, who's coming down the track already in the style of a young boy trying to scare away the school bullies by puffing out his chest and speaking in a deeper voice. Big boomers from Pollock just outside off, and Bell only lays bat on one.
