Not a great start for Curran. Two leg-stump half-volleys are picked off by Elgar, causing Root to jog for a chat with the bowler. You’d hope that Curran wouldn’t need to be told “don’t bowl there.”**************************************************************************************************************************************************************

The bowlers have assessed there is not much swing so have gone to wobble-seam deliveries early. If you pitch that delivery back a bit, you give the ball more chance to do something. (**************************************************************************************

If you’ve ever seen the Friends episode where they try to poke Ugly Naked Guy with the giant stick, Malan was jabbing like that. There was seam movement, too. Without the wobble in the air, Broad is happy to roll his fingers behind the ball to exploit the movement off the pitch.

Not a great shot, playing that far outside the off stump. I was about to say I liked the body language of the South Africa openers and that they were leaving well. But that was a poor shot and a good catch by Joe Root.

Gone this time!

It’s a pretty limp poke. from debutant Pieter Malan, flirting with a lifter from Stuart Broad. It’s high and wide, one he shouldn’t be playing at. The edge again flies to Joe Root, who has the choice of catching it or taking it in the mush. He opts for the former.

England up and running.

Seam movement for Broad, whipping the ball past Malan’s outside edge. That’s enough for Joe Root to call the extra cover back to third slip. With the catcher in place, Broad’s line moves too wide for Malan to be tempted to play. (********************************************************************

9:Stuart Broad got driven twice in the previous over, so he has already dispensed with a slip and employed an extra man in the covers. A bit premature to be retreating? The stands around Newlands climb into the blue sky, surrounding the lush outfield. There’s a big ‘ooohhhh’ from the capacity crowd when Elgar inside-edges on to his pad.
