England v South Africa Test Series 2012 – 2nd Test
England v South Africa
Thu 2 Aug 2012, 11:00am BST, 11:00am local
Match Drawn
| South Africa | 419 (139.2 ovs) & 258-9d (67.4 ovs) |
|---|---|
| England | 425 (126.4 ovs) & 130-4 (33 ovs) |
Over 33. 4 runs. Bowler: Jacques Kallis. England: 130/4(rr 3.94)
Kallis to Trott. Seaming in length ball, outside off stump on the front foot, shoulders arms to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by de Villiers. Graeme Smith finally gives up trying to get this wicket to open up an end and the match is drawn. Alviro Petersen found some form as his hundred yet again punished the English bowlers as the tourists posted 400 before Kevin Pietersen hit a superb hundred in reply to give England a narrow lead after the first innings. After rain on the penultimate day this game looked like petering out but an inspired burst from Stuart Broad meant that South Africa were forced into a declaration, setting England an interesting run chase. The hosts signalled their intent by opening with Kevin Pietersen and despite him falling early they were well in touch with the asking rate. The turning point came when the promoted Matt Prior was run out, leading to the chase being aborted and despite Smith continuing to plug away Trott and Bell stayed firm to earn the draw.
