LONDON, JUNE 20: Allan Donald8217;s 12th five-wicket haul in Tests sent England spiralling to a miserable 110 all out on the third day of the second Test against South Africa at Lord8217;s today. Forced to follow-on 250 runs in arrears, England8217;s embarrassing day worsened when debutant opener Steve James edged Shaun Pollock to second slip and departed for a duck.

At tea England were 47 for one. Starting the day on 40 for three in reply to South Africa8217;s 360, England slumped to 94 for seven at lunch as Donald, having bowled seven of the fastest overs of his career last evening, continued in the same controlled, aggressive manner.

Nasser Hussain, top scorer with 15, was tempted into a pressure-relieving off drive after taking three short deliveries on the body. A thick edge resulted and wicketkeeper Mark Boucher took a leaping catch in front of first slip.
