England chasing 401

Herschelle Gibbs' brilliant catch to get rid of Marcus Trescothick left England deeper in trouble on the fourth day of the fourth Test against South Africa at Headingley here Sunday.
At tea England, needing 401 runs for victory what would be the fourth highest total in Test history to win a match were they to reach it , were 39 for one.
England skipper Michael Vaughan was 20 not out and Mark Butcher seven not out after South Africa all-rounder Andrew Hall made a Test best 99 not out.
Left-hander Trescothick (four) edged Makhaya Ntini low to Gibbs at third slip, who initially dropped the two-handed chance.
But, reaching across with his left hand, he somehow grabbed the ball at the second attempt and England were 11 for one.
Earlier Hall's whirlwind 87-ball innings took South Africa to 365 all out and a lead of 400.
Hall was on 53 when last man Dewald Pretorius came to the crease but the duo added 54 off 51 balls against England's wilting attack.
But Hall's needless single off James Kirtley exposed Pretorius to the Sussex paceman (three for 71) with two balls of the 101st over remaining.
Hall could only watch from the other end as Pretorius (eight), who had batted securely for 38 minutes, was bowled by one that kept low on a pitch of uneven bounce.
South Africa's last three wickets added 133 in the second innings to go with the 200 they had contributed first time around.
Hall, who before the second Test at Lord's was playing county cricket for Worcestershire, flayed England's pace bowlers for two sixes and 15 fours.
After debutant seamer Kabir Ali had Ntini lbw for eight, Hall was especially aggressive. He pulled Flintoff for six, drove Kabir straight back over his head for four and went to 98 with a magnificent on-driven six off Kirtley.
But South Africa's batsmen had been on top long before Hall took strike.
They resumed Sunday on 164 for five, a lead of 199, with Neil McKenzie 17 not out and Mark Boucher two not out.
With the series level at 1-1 and the match finely balanced, it was the batsmen who seized the initiative with 129 runs coming in the first session's 26 overs.
McKenzie (38) and Boucher (39) added 59 for the sixth wicket before Hall cashed in against an ill-disciplined attack.
