Ian Bell delivered the innings of his Test career, battling for 213 balls to score a crucial 78, while Paul Collingwood once again demonstrated extraordinary powers of concentration with a painstaking 40 from 188 deliveries. England began the final day at 132 for 3, but South Africa fought relentlessly and reduced them to 179 for 5 before Bell and Collingwood launched a monumental sixth-wicket partnership. Their 112-run stand consumed 57 overs and appeared to have taken the match away from South Africa. But the drama was far from over. JP Duminy finally found Collingwood's edge, dismissing him for 40 and opening the door for a sensational South African assault. Four England wickets then fell for just 18 runs as the hosts threw everything at the tail. Matt Prior was brilliantly caught by AB de Villiers at short leg, Stuart Broad survived one review before being dismissed by Paul Harris, and then Morne Morkel produced the breakthrough that South Africa desperately needed when he removed the magnificent Bell for 78. With England's lower order exposed and only a handful of deliveries remaining, everything came down to No. 11 Graham Onions. Onions had already produced a famous escape against Makhaya Ntini at Centurion, and once again he had to survive the final six deliveries of the match. Morkel attacked with height, pace, yorkers and a dangerous bouncer, while Graeme Smith surrounded the bat with close catchers. Onions refused to panic. He defended two probing yorkers, survived the bouncer, left a delivery outside off stump and then watched the final ball pass harmlessly by. As the danger disappeared, Onions turned toward the pavilion and punched his fist in triumph. England had survived again. The draw meant England retained a 1-0 series lead and would travel to J
