  • South Africa won by 46 runs  
           A good solid performance by South Africa, a fine Kallis century
            good bowling and needed practice but Zimbabwe fought well but lost
            some middle wickets otherwise were going well.
           Streak did fiddle the batting order and this may have had an effect
            but South Africa kept plugging away and got the vital wickets when
            needed most>
           Hall was the pick of the bowlers with good support from Pollocak
            and Ntini while Dawson was somewhat unimpressive.
           Do join us for round two when England play a return against
            Zimbabwe at Headingley on Tuesday starting 09:45GMT
           Till then we'd like to say goodbye but hope you watch the West
            Indies v Sri Lanka test as it heads for a finish right here on
            Wisden CricInfo

    T Taibu 18* (27b 1x4) DT Hondo 12* (7b 3x4)
    
      49.6 Ntini to Hondo, FOUR, smashed confidentally over mid on and a fine
            finish but a comfortable win for South Africa by 46 runs but
            points are equal
      49.5 Ntini to Hondo, no run, angled full ball on his legs but dug out
            nicely to mid off
      49.4 Ntini to Hondo, no run, well wide of off stump and a swipe at it
            misses
      49.3 Ntini to Hondo, no run, outside off and left alone
