#4 Parnell stakes his claim
Wayne Parnell may not be a popular choice among South African fans and critics, but when he gets going with the new ball, the left-hand seamer is a potent bowler. He loves overcast conditions and has a knack of picking up early wickets when the ball is doing a bit. With four all-rounders to choose from, South Africa will have one less headache after this game.
Parnell started by trapping Joe Root in front with a perfect inswinger that rapped the England no.3 on the pads. He proceeded to remove the England captain with another well shaped delivery before returning to break the Johnny Bairstow - David Willey stand.
Parnell's new ball exploits combined with Chris Morris' failure to impress since landing in England might prompt South Africa to pick the former in the playing eleven.
