South Africa reach 90 for 0 by 30th over against England – Cricket News Round-Up – Part 4 – August 2, 2012
Riding on Alviro Petersen’s half-ton, South Africa have managed to reach a total of 90 at the expense of zero wickets by the 30th over of their ongoing second Test match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, currently being played at Headingley in Leeds.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, meanwhile, went in with an unchanged side from the one which defeated the Poms by an innings and 12 runs during the first Test match at the Kennington Oval in London.
The Proteas opened their innings with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stephen-James-Davis-c91106 declared the delivery by Finn a dead ball – the visitors have managed to apply themselves at the crease, and will be hoping to continue in a similar fashion as Day 1 progresses.
New Zealand’s Test opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760, due to be played at Sabina Park in Jamaica from August 2 to 6, after sustaining a groin injury.
“Daniel has been carrying the grade one injury since the last day of the first Test but had responded positively to treatment,” said New Zealand physio Paul Close. “We felt there was a reasonable chance he would be fit to play but his progress over the past 24 hours plateaued.”
Flynn registered unremarkable performances for the side during the limited-overs leg of the tour, and carried the same form into the Test series, registering scores of 20 and 45 during the first match in Antigua, which culminated in a 9-wicket defeat for his team. He is expected to be replaced by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BJ-Watling-c1172 for the final match.

“Finally played my first practice game after 8 months! Got 47 of 70 balls bowled 5 overs fielded 30 overs! Not bad for a start !!” Yuvraj posted on Twitter.
The game marks the 30-year-old’s first match since having been diagnosed with a rare germ cell tumour, for which he received treatment in the US before returning to India post-recovery this April. The all-rounder has expressed the wish to make a comeback to cricket by starting with a 2-match T20 series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 in August, in order to regain his fitness in time for the World T20. He has been named in India’s provisional 30-man squad for the mega event.
