England cricket in South Africa

England's cricket team is in South Africa; they pulled off an upset in the one-day international (ODI) series by winning 2-1 (the 1st and last matches were canceled due to weather).

Now they're into the TEST phase; and the first day was all South Africa (England chose to bowl first). The current score is 262-4 (262 runs over 4 wickets; I'm getting better at this). SA batsman Kallis got a century (100 runs) and is still batting.

Long way to go. Remember, with England beating Australia in the Ashes, SA is the world's #1 ranked cricket team. But England has former South African Kevin Pieterson back from injury, and that should help their batting.

Gotta take some wickets quicket, though.
