Cricket: South Africa v England - fourth Test, day one

It's a lovely bright day in Johannesburg as the fourth and final test gets underway at The Wanderers Cricket Ground. In what England fans will hope is a good omen Andrew Strauss wins the toss elects to bat Photograph: Paul Gilham/guardian.co.uk

But unfortunately for the England fans the opposite is true. First ball of the match and Strauss taps a poor ball from Steyn off to his right and the ball flies towards Hashim Amla at short square leg who dives low to his right to take a great catch. The last time an English batsman was dismissed to the first ball of a Test was Stan Worthington in 1936 Photograph: Gallo Images/guardian.co.uk

Things go from bad to worse in the second over when Jonathan Trott is trapped lbw for 5 runs by Morkel Photograph: Jon Hrusa/guardian.co.uk

Then in the 7th over things go from worse to terrible as Kevin Pietersen attempts to wallop a short ball away to leg from outside off stump, only for it to go straight to Parnell who takes the catch and England are falling apart Photograph: Gareth Copley/guardian.co.uk

And the bad luck keeps coming. Two overs later and Morkel appeals for a LBW decision of Alistair Cook which was given. England ask for a referrel and the replays really make the delivery look like a no ball. Morkel's foot was ever-so-close to being over the line as he let go of the bal, but umpire Harper in the box isn't going to overturn a decision unless he has to, so the bowler gets the benefit of the decision and Cook is out with England now on 39-4 Photograph: guardian.co.uk

Paul Collingwood now comes on after KP and starts to rack up a few runs Photograph: Gallo Images/guardian.co.uk

Things don't get any better after lunch. In the 31st over McLaren claims his first wicket in Test cricket. It is Collingwood that he claims with ball that pops up off Colly's leading edge to be caught at cover point by Duminey. Collingwood was just 3 runs short of his half century and England are now on 119 for 5 Photograph: Gallo Images/guardian.co.uk

In the 38th over Steyns sends down a series of away-swingers to Bell, and then lands an in-swinger on the same spot. Back the ball came, beating Bell's inside edge and clatters over his wickets. Bell is dismissed on 35 and England are on 133 for 6 Photograph: Philip Brown/guardian.co.uk

Matt Prior came after Collingwood's dismissal and soon gets down to action, he clips his third ball through mid-wicket for four. Prior does a reasonable job over the next 8 overs racking up 14 runs until he takes a swing at a short ball from Steyn and edges it behind where Boucher takes a simple catch. England are 136 for 7 and in all sorts of trouble Photograph: Paul Gilham/Getty Images

And it continues. In the next over Broad clatters a catch straight to Morkel at mid-on. Kallis seems to take great pleasure in providing the delivery which helped dismiss Broad. He went for 13 and England are 148 for 8 Photograph: Jon Hrusa/EPA

It's England's second duck of the day as Sidebottom edges a delivery from Styen behind and into the grateful hands of Boucher. Only one wicket left for England to play and they are 157 for 9 Photograph: Stephane De Sakutin/AFP/Getty Images

And that final wicket tumbles just four overs later when Graeme Swan is caught out by Boucher off Steyn for 27. A woeful performance by England means they are 180 all out Photograph: AP
