Cricket: Kallis ton keeps England on back foot

Jacques Kallis scored a masterful unbeaten century as South Africa closed on 262-4 against England on day one of the First Test at Centurion.

Andrew Strauss' decision to field first looked promising when Stuart Broad removed South African captain Graeme Smith for a duck and the hosts were still stuttering at 93-3, despite Ashwell Prince's 45.

But Kallis pulled South Africa back into the game, ably supported by AB de Villiers (32) and then JP Duminy (38*). He finished on 112 not out - his sixth hundred against England - and his unbroken 103-run partnership with Duminy leaves the tourists in need of early wickets on day two.

Graeme Swann bowled manfully to take 2-61 from 24 overs but England will need more from Broad and Jimmy Anderson if they are to hit back and get into the South African tail.
