Durban - Morne Morkel fell in the second over as South Africa lurched to 86 for seven on the fifth day of the second Castle test against England at Sahara Stadium Kingsmead in Durban on Wednesday.
34th over: Out! Morkel, after having being dropped the ball before, is trapped leg-before by off-spinner Graeme Swann as the batsman goes back in his crease and is struck plumb in front of his wickets.
Morkel is out for 15 as Paul Harris strides to the crease.
33rd over: Mark Boucher and Morne Morkel have arrived at the crease on an overcast day in Durban. It will take a Herculean effort from the home side to try and save the test with just four wickets in hand while they need another 156 runs to make England bat again.
Stuart Broad will bowl the first ball of the day with Boucher on strike. Boucher plays a ball into the covers for a single. Broad drops short to Morkel and the batsman hooks the ball to the square leg boundary for four.
