Fourth Test from today

South Africa, having outplayed England early on, could still find themselves 2-1 behind in this series after the fourth Test which gets underway here at Headingley on Thursday.
South Africa dominated a rain-affected draw in the series opener at Edgbaston and then overwhelmed England by an innings and 92 runs at Lord's.
The hosts' all-round play was so poor it recalled the remark made about a previous England side which said they had three problems: "They can't bat, can't bowl and can't field".
But then came a toss at Trent Bridge which may not prove more important to England captain Michael Vaughan if he leads the
team in 50 Tests.
He won it, batted first and then saw the pitch crack from the second day onwards when South Africa began their reply.
England eventually completed a 70-run victory in the third Test on Monday to square the series.
It was hard to disagree with South Africa captain Graeme Smith's comment that "the wicket being so up and down is not good for Test cricket".
Test match pitches should not always be played on batsmen's paradises. But Smith was right in saying it was wrong for them to change so much between the first and second day.
But South Africa will have to turn their sense of grievance into something more constructive if they are to halt England at Headingley.
Although no longer home to the kind of 'terror tracks' that gave the ground a nightmarish reputation
among England batsmen, Headingley is still rightly regarded as a 'result-wicket'.
It rewards accurate swing bowlers and South Africa arrive there without Shaun Pollock, the only truly world-class bowler in either side, who has returned home to Durban to be with his pregnant wife who is expecting the couple's first child.
Paceman Pollock took six for 39 in England's second innings at Trent Bridge and without him the tourists' attack lacks control.
England too may have a new-look bowling attack although in their case a change may work to their advantage.

Martin Bicknell, recalled 10 years after his last Test, or Worcestershire's uncapped Kabir Ali could prove more effective.
Meanwhile Sussex seamer James Kirtley, who finished off South Africa with six for 34 at Trent Bridge on his Test debut - becoming known for something other than remodelling a suspect action - may well find that his self-confessed 'boring, off-stump' approach is rewarded again.
But, as Kirtley acknowledged, England's victory in Nottingham was set up by hundreds from former captain Nasser Hussain and Mark Butcher.
However, South Africa's Neil McKenzie - in his first match of the series - showed tremendous application to make 90 while wicketkeeper Mark Boucher (48 and 52) demonstrated good shot selec-
tion throughout.
If the top order can follow their lead, and the attack compensate for Pollock's absence, South Africa may avoid a repeat of their 1998 Test series here when, having dominated early on, they saw England win 2-1.
Otherwise even the iron-willed Smith may be left cursing his luck at Trent Bridge.
