Welcome to a partly overcast St Georges Park in Port Elizabeth
There was rain over night but this morning it was clear
A steady stream of people are making their way in , with the Barmy
Army firmly ensconsed outside one of the main bars
A steady South Westerly wind blows acroos the stadium
This generally means that there will be rain if the wind speeds
drops
There would appear to be a bigger crowd at this game than the game
New Zealand against West Indies
Namobia feel that it is better to bowl first with over cast
conditions possibly allowing some early swing
England say they would also have iopted to bowl first
Nasser Hussain is suffering from a neck problem and was a late
withdrawal from the england side
