The perfect start for England - Graham Onions produces an absolute jaffa to dismiss day one centurion Jacques Kallis for 108 with the second ball of the second day, and the first faced by the veteran South African
First ball of the second over and James Anderson joins the party by removing Dale Steyn for 26 and three balls later Graeme Swann's diving catch sees off Morne Morkel for a duck
Fans celebrate as England dismiss the hosts for 291, taking four wickets in 17 balls, with Anderson finishing with 5-63 after dismissing Friedel de Wet lbw for a duck
South Africa fight back straight away when Morne Morkel encourages a rash drive from Andrew Strauss and Mark Boucher takes the catch to dismiss England's skipper off the sixth ball of the visitors' reply
Dale Steyn, who comes on at first change, takes the second wicket as Jonathan Trott chops the ball onto his stumps for 20 and England are 36-2
Pietersen comes to the crease but second ball he chips the ball back to Steyn and the paceman takes a good catch to remove England's number four for a duck
Steyn celebrates in style - and South Africa now have England reeling on 36-3 as the extraordinary drama continues at Newlands
Alastair Cook, who made a century in the innings victory in Durban, steadies the ship and, along with Paul Collingwood, helps England get to lunch at 64-3
England's hopes of another stubborn Collingwood innings come to a premature end when the impressive Morkel angles the ball in and traps the Durham batsman leg before for 19
Ian Bell may have made a century in the previous Test but, with England struggling, there's massive pressure on him to make a score and the South Africans know it
Runs are hard to come by and in a tough second session only 69 are added in 28 overs, but Cook and Bell are still there at tea with England 133-4
Cook's vigil ends on 65 with the fourth ball after tea when he finds the safe hands of Ashwell Prince to hand Morkel his third wicket
And Bell can't believe it when he hits a short Kallis delivery straight to JP Duminy at backward-point and is out for 48 after 121 balls and 171 minutes in the middle
Stuart Broad looks in decent order with the odd flowing cover drive helping him to 25 before he is bowled with the old ball by one from Dale Steyn that reverse-swings a touch
However, Matt Prior mixes careful defence with attacking intent to bring up a potentially crucial unbeaten half century that helps England to within 50 runs of South Africa's total by stumps in Cape Town
