Left-arm seamer Sheldon Cottrell claimed five-wickets with a display of swing that sliced through the South Africans. Cottrell's first wicket came in the sixth over and he barely stopped plucking them all the way through to the 37th, when the last man fell shortly after the second session began. Van Zyl was not one of Cottrell's victims, though. He was dismissed by Jason Holder, after scoring just 23. Interestingly, van Zyl batted in his regular No.3 spot, not the No.7 position he is expected to occupy during the first Test in JP Duminy's absence or the opening position he is targeting in the long term.
