South Africa dismiss Pietersen cheaply
South Africa reduced England to 130 for four at lunch in their second innings after dismissing Kevin Pietersen for only 13 runs on the fourth day of the first test at Headingley on Monday.
Nightwatchman James Anderson defied the South Africa bowlers despite some painful blows to the body from Dale Steyn to make a test best 34 but England still trailed South Africa by 189 runs at the interval. Opener Alastair Cook was 46 not out and Ian Bell was on one.
South Africa, who made 522 in reply to England’s first innings 203, are well positioned to take a 1-0 lead in the four-match series with blue skies and sunshine.
