A new era for English cricket dawned today, and it was greeted by a superb bowling display from England's attack.

Harmison set the tone after having SMith dropped at gully first ball of the innings. His venom and bounce were hard to handle, and he picked up two wickets in two balls when he had Smith caught on the hook and Amla bowled middle-stump.

With Anderson swinging it prodigously and Panesar and Broad providing excellent back-up, England skittled SA for 194, before closing at stumps on 49-1.
