South African captain Graeme Smith never looked comfortable against accurate bowling by Anderson and Graham Onions on a pitch of unpredictable bounce and he fell to Onions five overs later when he pushed forward defensively and was bowled off an inside edge for 12.<br /><br />First innings century maker Jacques Kallis made only four while Amla remained unflappable.<br /><br />Score Board<br />SOUTH AFRICA (I innings) 418<br />ENGLAND (I innings) 356<br />SOUTH AFRICA (II innings) o/n 9-1<br /><br />Prince b Anderson 0 <br />Smith b Onions 12 <br />Harris b Anderson 11 <br />Amla b Anderson 100<br />Kallis c Cook b Broad 4<br />AB de Villiers c Bell b Broad 64<br />Duminy lbw b Anderson 11<br />Boucher (not out) 63<br />M Morkel (not out) 22<br />Extras (LB-10, W-4) 14 <br /><br />Total (7 wkts decl in 85.5 overs) 301<br /><br />Fall of wickets: 1-2, 2-20, 3-34, 4-46, 5-165, 6-191, 7-266, Bowling: Anderson 20.5-1-73-4, Onions 16-3-50-1, Broad 16-5-58-2, Swann 27-3-91-0, Collingwood 6-1-19-0.<br /><br />ENGLAND (II innings) <br /><br />Strauss c Boucher b Morkel 1<br />Cook (batting) 4<br />Anderson (batting) 6<br />Extras 0 <br />Total (for 1 wicket in 6 overs) 11 <br />Fall of wickets: 1-5.
