England v South Africa, 4th Test, The Oval, 2nd day

Pietersen ton gives England control

A superb, even 100 from Kevin Pietersen, his first hundred as England captain, provided the mainstay of England's 316 on the second day against South Africa at The Oval. Yet with England's brittle middle-order again struggling - Makhaya Ntini took five wickets for the first time in 17 Tests - it was left to none other than Steve Harmison and the tail to extend their lead from a thrifty fifty to a challenging 122.
