Andrew Strauss and Jonathan Trott shared an unbroken 63-run second wicket stand as England made a solid start in reply to South Africa’s 418 all out on the second day of the first Test at SuperSport Park on Thursday.
England were 88 for one at the close, with Strauss on 44 not out and Trott on 18.
Off-spinner Graeme Swann took five for 110 as England’s bowlers were forced to toil under a hot sun for the second successive day. It took until after tea to work their way through stubborn resistance by South Africa’s lower order batsmen.
