ENG end Day 1 at 179/4 with Compton unbeaten on 63. Play will start 30 minutes early tomorrow. Wicket: James Taylor's superb innings comes to an end, big appeal for caught behind off Steyn and he's gone for 70. England 174-4 Fifty for James Taylor! Tea at Kingsmead. ENG 121/3. Compton 40*, Taylor 41. - Cricket South Africa (@OfficialCSA) Compton and Taylor bring up the 100 for England! Their stand has helped the visitors recover from 49 for 3. Okay, so play resumes under overcast skies with the floodlights on. Hopefully we have seen the last of rain interruptions for today. Another brief shower. And another disruption in play. We shouldn't be off for long though and the covers have already been taken off.
