England have recalled ‘quickie', Steve Harminson to the side along with the one day Captain Paul Collingwood. Collingwood's omission from the 2nd Test seems more like a one match ban than a real omission. However he is not certain to play as England have yet to decide their format. Michael Vaughan must be feeling the pressure, his form has ‘gone west' during this Test Series and the lack of runs from the number three berth is causing England huge problems. It seems that the South Africans have Vaughan's number but he will have read with some relief that Dale Steyn, the South African paceman and swing bowler will be missing through injury. Other odds of interest are Vaughan to score 0-30 runs is 8/11, 31-60 is 5/2 and to score 61 or more runs he is 3/1. Pietersen is a narrow favourite to be in England's top batsman at 3/1 while Graeme Smith is 3/1 to be South Africa's.
