FIRST TEST, Lord's (day five):
England 593-8 dec v South Africa 247 & 312-1

South Africa reached lunch with no further loss on the final day of the first Test against England at Lord's.

Neil McKenzie and Hashim Amla extended their adhesive partnership to 108 from 46 overs in an uneventful session, the tourists only 34 behind at 312-1.

McKenzie came close to a bat pad catch off Monty Panesar in the first over but neither batsman looked in difficulty.

England captain Michael Vaughan tried all sorts of things, even going for a leg theory with four men close in.
