#4 South African seamers wayward with the new ball

Morne Morkel began proceedings for South Africa by beating Alastair Cook's bat thrice in the opening over. But Kagiso Rabada couldn't keep up the good work and was wayward early on, as was Duanne Olivier.
On a spicy wicket, England were given far too many loose balls to kick start their innings. Morkel continued to bowl the right lines and generated enough oomph from the surface to put the left-handers in trouble but it was Olivier who reaped the rewards when he found Jennings' edge. That said, South Africa would have been disappointed with their start on a wicket Vernon Philander would have loved bowling on.
