They've dropped Bresnan

from the bbc:
As anticipated, England make two changes from the second Test at Headingley, with Jonny Bairstow and Graeme Swann replacing Kevin Pietersen and Steven Finn. South Africa are unchanged, with opener Alviro Petersen having recovered from the hamstring injury which troubled him at Headingley.

Sky have just shown Finn warming up, before confirming that Finn is playing after going through the team

BBC seem to have changed their minds!!

I'm a big fan of big Tim, but I think Finn is likely to make a bigger impact as a bowler and gives the attack a bit more variation. Would still have preferred a 5 man attack

Completely agree, however with the 5man attack - these 'all round bowlers' haven't been making an impact with the bat recently.

Eng will suffer in the bat later.. I cannot see young Jonny producing the same results as KP.. Another point, JB Should be batting below Matt Prior..

An awkward batting order this with Ian Bell Sandwiched between the 2 youngsters..

Sounds like it was a poor shot rather than a decent ball?

Don't get me wrong - a wicket is a wicket and I'm happy that he's out!  :D
Just thought it was out of character for him not to be patient at wide balls!

Probably thought it was a pie that needed gobbling up

Now Amla and Petersen are out!!
Good start for England!
And now Kallis is out, Might have been a bad decision from the 3rd umpire though.

Petersen appeared unlucky, Kallis was just plain ripped off.
