England won by 2 wickets
  
Man of the match: Kevin Pieterson
 
That was definitely one that got away. A great test match nonetheless, it's just a shame that we came out on the wrong side.

Vettori was shocking in their second innings, other than that everyone played pretty well.
 
Great comeback there, KP really lead the charge chasing down the total, and the New Zealanders were quite unlucky

another test series victory for us, this time outside the subcontinent which means alot to this team. The batting from both sides was good albeit a little slow but the draw is good enough for us. :p

Surprised the captains agreed on ending the last day a hour early, we could've got 3 wickets in the last hour.
 
Solid bowling by the Lankans.

Some changes will have to be made...

South Africa        439 & 120/1              
   
South Africa draw with India
  
Man of the match: VVS Laxman
 
Some great second innings stuff by Sachin and Laxman. If we had stopped them, we would have a healthy chance of winning, but unfortunately, they built on a huge partnership, culminating in a draw.
