Update on Day 2: they got their wickets quick, but then lost them almost as quickly. They only got a few runs while losing 4 wickets (and of course, that came against their best batsmen), but then the replacement for ne'er-do-well Kevin Pietersen, a chap named Johnny Bairstow, dug in and started scoring. Bell made it to 58 runs and Bairstow is still going at the end of Day 2. So they're at 208 runs with 5 wickets gone, 101 runs behind the South Africa total from their first innings. If Bairstow and now Prior can hang in, it could get really interesting. If they get taken early, then England will be in big trouble.
