A great batting performance by England's openers, 2 centuries with
a little support from Flintoff

There was a wobble after the 200 partnership with unimpressive
batting from Key and McGrath
The Oval has provided two good wins for england and Trescothick
especially is in top form and is the anchor of their batting that
has some fragility in the middle
The South African bowlers were made to suffer and their medium pace
lacked penetration today, lets see how they do tomorrow
South Africa to Play Zimbawe tomorrow at Canterbury, and Zimbabwe
may not be an easy team to beat
