       A difficult wicket which held the ball up a touch meant scoring was
        tough.
        The fact that Fleming stayed on to inspect it after it was all
        over for a full 5 mins gives you some indication of how he sees
        it.
        Neither side will feel safe here as South African may just have
        enough
        It's sure to be an interesting encounter after the dinner break
