Eng v SA 2nd Test day two photos

England v South Africa: The day begins with England's bowlers, including Andrew Flintoff, eager to take early wickets

Hashim Amla is at the crease at the start of the day, although James Anderson's bowling is economical

After a steady start from South Africa, Darren Pattinson gets his first Test wicket, trapping Amla lbw for 38

Pattinson's selection had been controversial - but England's fielders are all jubilant after his early breakthrough

Ashwell Prince is comfortable and completes a fine eighth Test 50 as South Africa move past England's first innings total of 203

As the afternoon progresses, England find themselves struggling to break through against a comfortable-looking South Africa

South Africa's batsmen continue to dominate and AB de Villiers plays his part in a 100-partnership with Ashwell Prince

And with the tea interval approaching, Ashwell Prince completes a superb century - his second in successive Tests

Darren Pattinson's early wicket begins to seem like a distant memory as Prince and De Villiers push the tourists' lead towards 100

And South Africa's AB de Villiers soon reaches his own personal landmark as he moves past 50

There are few moments to cheer the England fans - Andrew Flintoff's few appeals are more in hope than expectation

Later, umpires Billy Bowden and Daryl Harper offer the batsmen the light and they leave the field - shortly before some heavy rain

Play resumes for a brief spell before the rain returns and South Africa end the day in a commanding position
