Petersen grinds out century
Alviro Petersen made 124 not out as South Africa reached 262 for five at the close after being sent in to bat by England in the second Test.
LEEDS: Opening batsman Alviro Petersen (right) ground out a century as South Africa and England finished on even terms on the first day of the second Test at Headingley on Thursday.
South African captain AB de Villiers said the batsmen had done well in difficult conditions, with Petersen outstanding.
England opening bowler James Anderson felt two late wickets with the second new ball had given the home side a slight edge after a frustrating start to the day which included a dropped catch and fast bowler Steven Finn being denied a wicket when dead ball was called after he bumped into the stumps at the bowler’s end while delivering the ball.
