England Unable to touch 400

Despite of Cook's hundred in the first test match against South Africa, England team were unable to score 400. There was a decent performance from Trott who scored 71, Pietersen who resist 42 runs of 72 balls and Matt Prior scoring 60 runs showing us a fair job. 

But the others were not up to mark, Skipper- Andrew Strauss who won the toss and decided to bat first gone without scoring a single run while Bopara who is in the contest of taking the position of KP in T20's and ODI's in future scored a duck too. Ian Bell was also clean bowled by Kallis on just 13 with a disappointing average of 23. The tail of England Batting, who are so called to be the best in the world scored 41 in all.

This is for sure that the series will remain tough for England despite of having the advantage of home conditions which they normally had against the normal test teams. But this time they are playing against South Africa, having a good bowling attack and decent batting too. They restrict England Cricket team under 400, which creates an opportunity for them to put some lead on the board. And a best way to put England bowlers under pressure because if they don't put them in pressure then they might get themselves in to a serious pressure. As England bowling attack like South Africans is good. 

Let see if England can restrict South Africa under 400 or we see tons from Amla and Kallis or may be from Graeme Smith or De Villiers.
