Pace bowlers Morne Morkel and Dale Steyn claimed four wickets apiece to help dismiss England for 203 on the first day of the second Test at Headingley on Friday. Morkel took four for 52 and Steyn four for 76 before the home team hit back in the final session to reduce the Proteas to 101 for three at the close. Andrew Flintoff, in the thick of the action on his Test comeback after 18 months, took a catch and a wicket. Hashim Amla (18) and Ashwell Prince (9) were the not out batsman as South Africa trailed England by 102 runs. The first match in the four-match series at Lord's was drawn. Amla was almost the fourth man out when his leading edge was caught by a diving Michael Vaughan at mid-off off Flintoff. But after reaching the end of his walk back to the pavilion he was instructed by captain Graeme Smith to wait for the third umpire's decision which gave him a reprieve. It was the second such instance after South Africa's AB de Villiers earlier claimed a catch at third slip off the bat of Andrew Strauss. Replays showed the ball had clearly been grounded. The South African bowlers vindicated Smith's decision to bowl first in dull and humid conditions after he admitted he wrongly chose to bowl first at Lord's. England was 70 for three at lunch and all out by tea. England started confidently by reaching 26 for no loss before Alastair Cook was given out caught down the leg side off Morkel for 18 by umpire Billy Bowden, even though replays clearly showed the ball brushing his trouser leg. Kevin Pietersen topscored for England with an exhilarating 45 off 46 balls. He was threatening the tourists with some majestic stroke-play, in particular a drive through extra-cover for four off the back foot from Steyn, the ball before he was dismissed. Pietersen, attempting another boundary, edged the ball to Smith at first slip. The most interesting sequence of the afternoon session came with the arrival of former skipper Flintoff, who came to the crease at number seven with the score on 123 for five. He was unable to stop the slide, lasting 28 deliveries and striking four boundaries in his 17. South Africa was given a solid start of 51 by Smith and Neil McKenzie, before the latter edged James Anderson to Flintoff at second slip and was out for 15. Smith's innings of 44 was ended by Flintoff, whose short-pitched ball was caught by Strauss at first slip. Anderson then bowled Jacques Kallis for four, bottom edging a short ball angled into him. Earlier, England gave a debut to swing bowler Darren Pattinson after Ryan Sidebottom failed a fitness test. Flintoff came in for Paul Collingwood. Kumble takes 3 wickets Captain Anil Kumble took three wickets Friday as India's touring side bowled out a Sri Lanka Board XI for 224 runs on the opening day of their three-day practice match. Playing as ‘Indians' rather than the official national side, the tourists replied to be 4-1 at stumps. Sri Lanka Board XI chose to bat after winning the toss but most of its batsmen failed except Thilina Kandamby (84) and Chamara Silva (68). Left-arm seamer Zaheer Khan and off-spinner Harbhajan Singh also took two wickets each to support Kumble. The Indians faced only four balls in their innings, with medium pacer Dilhara Fernando's snaring of opener Gautam Gambhir, signaling stumps on day one. The first Test between Sri Lanka and India will start on Wednesday. Scores: Sri Lanka Board XI 224 all out __
