South Africa Test: Umpire Tony Hill gives South Africa's Graeme Smith not out after a review
The fact that he managed to reach that figure is thanks to a controversial referral decision. In the 16th over, Smith was caught behind but given not out and England called for a referral. When Smith played his shot there was a noise - a noise that could not have been anything else but bat on ball - but Daryl Harper, acting on the audio feed his was given as third umpire, upheld the decision, telling the umpires there was no noise

South Africa Test: South Africa's Ashwell Prince is caught out by Graeme Swann
After the disappointment of not getting the decision on Smith, England bounce back and immediately take their first wicket of the innings. Stuart Broad delivers a very good off-cutter to Ashwell Prince, who edges the ball towards Graeme Swann at second slip. Prince is out for 19 and South Africa are 36 for one
