South Africa back into the Lords Test!!!

After three days of being a distant second best, South Africa have a chance of leaving Lord's with a draw after Graeme Smith and Neil McKenzie produced an opening stand of 204. Both players struck fine rearguard hundreds as England's attack toiled on a surface getting flatter and slower. James Anderson claimed the lone success, but South Africa still trail by 104 and will need to be batting at tea on the final day to complete their match-saving mission. Michael Vaughan tried everything, but in the end it was that conventional weapon, the second new ball, that finally brought a wicket with Anderson removing Smith for 107. England, although never completely flat at any stage, were clearly lifted and produced a concerted effort in the final hour. Hashim Amla was given a working-over by Anderson, but came through unscathed. With Jacques Kallis and Ashwell Prince still to come South Africa have the batsmen to complete the job.
