NOTTINGHAM, England (AP) South Africa battled to 56-1 in the opening session of the second test against England after opting to bat in difficult conditions on Friday.

Opener Heino Kuhn was 34 not out and Hashim Amla on 16 as the Proteas fended off an England seam attack trying to make the most of swinging conditions on the first morning at Trent Bridge.

The batsmen also negotiated a 20-minute rain delay.

Dean Elgar was the man out for six to a diving catch by Liam Dawson at backward point off the bowling of veteran James Anderson (1-16).
