Kent v South Africans – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 – Tour Match (day 2) – SAfns reach 108/2 by rain delay in 35th over – Live Scores and Match Update
On the second day (July 14) of their ongoing warm-up match against Kent at the St http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Canterbury-c775, the South Africans succeeded in reaching 108 by the 35th over, still trailing by 102 runs, after which rain caused the match to be
delayed.
The warm up match comes in the wake of the previous match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Allan-Robert-Border-c43726
de Villiers has been brought in to serve as wicketkeeper in the wake of the 35-year-old’s abrupt retirement.
The first day against Kent saw the South Africans winning the toss and choosing to field first. Leg-spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Morkel-c73528 (18-5-49-3) joined forces to reduce Kent to 210, all out, by the 75th over. Stand-out performances
from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Michael-James-Powell-c75991, who scored an unbeaten 48.
The visitors then went up to bat with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Charlie-Shreck-c1232 in the 11th over,
leaving his side at 29 for 1.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/HM-Amla-c1557 was next to step up to the crease, but managed just one run before the day drew to a close, seeing the tourists at 31 for 1.
On Day 2, Amla (36*) and Petersen (21) resumed their partnership and went on to establish a 45-run 2nd wicket stand, which got their side up to 74 by the 27th over. Petersen was then sent back to the pavilion, lbw, by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Simon-Hewitt-Cook-c90350, and
veteran all-rounder http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JH-Kallis-c1692 was next up to bat.
So far, Kallis has contributed a total of 23* runs, and his partnership with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hamisi-Abdallah-c61368 looks to be going strong. Both batsmen got their side up to 108 by the 35th over, after which rain caused a match delay. However, with 8 wickets remaining, the 102
trail doesn’t seem too daunting for the South Africans, who will be eager to resume play and round up the match once the weather clears up.
