England Chasing above 350 On Final Day.

South Africa (Centurion): As the African were in deep trouble in the second inning of the first Test Match against England, top-class half-centuries were socred by Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers that lifted South Africa to 182 for five at tea on the fourth day of the first Test against England on Saturday. Amla and De Villiers took control on a pitch with disconcertingly inconsistent bounce to added 119 for the fifth wicket in 137 minutes, frustrating England who claimed three wickets in the morning session. Amla was unbeaten on 76 at tea but De Villiers fell for a fluent 64 just before the break when Ian Bell reacted quickly at short extra cover to catch a powerful drive off Broad. In the end Wicket Keeper Batsman M Boucher and Morkle played well. Boucher Scored another half century and helped his side to put a total on the board. On the other Side England is again struggling with eary loss of captain wicket. It seems South Africa will grab the victory tomorrow.
