It was a bad day for kevin Pietersen who is captaining for the first time in Test match. They were about to win the match but the weather condition of England didn’t favor them. If they have won the match, then Pietersen would have known well for the great win in his first test as England Skipper. In the last day, i.e. Day Three, only 17 overs were bowled and the play couldn’t be resumed after the lunch.
The start of the match was half an hour late due to rain. Stuart Broad was doing quite well at the beginning and he removed the middle stump of the Neil Mckenzie. The two main bowlers of England, Steve harmison and James Anderson, have been doing well the in the whole Test and the Captain might have expected more from them.
Hashim Amla was in the form and hit 71 runs with 14 hours which is his ninth Test fifty. The weather condition would have favored England as they were bowling but it was just the opposite in the match. The match finished in a draw due to the bad weather condition and this makes England’s captain disappointed the most. And also the Saturday crowd was frustrated by the rain and the stopped of the match.
