So the cricket is underway with Graeme Smith winning the toss and putting England into bat.  Cautious but decent start for England who are currently 33-0 |

Oh FFS!!!!! Only England could have such a pathetic collapse against a rather average looking South Africa! As usual all the good early work is wasted!  |

My mood at work has just changed from happy and relaxed (courtesy of England's ton) to moody and short-tempered!!!!!!

413-5 now.
Pietersen gone for 152, Collingwood out for 7. Bell still there on 113.
2 of England's 5 wickets shouldn't even have been given out!

Interesting little fact on TMS:
All of Ian Bell's test centuries have come when another player has already made a hundred earlier in the innings.
