Your point about the swing bowlers having an advantage in the first innings due to the pitch moisture is spot-on. It's clear you have a great understanding of the nuances of cricket.

I especially enjoyed your description of how South Africa capitalized on the conditions after winning the toss. And the way you described the openers chasing the runs in the second innings really paints a picture for the reader!
