Seeing that we were 45-2, 263-3 is not bad at all. I think if Pietersen and Collingwood concentrate tommorow and then if Flintoff gets a good score we will be in a strong position.
Apparently they didn't play Monty because in the practice nets Pietersen was easily hitting him about for a couple of hours, which may justify Fletcher's decision not to play him, although Pietersen if very good against spin bowlers.
