NOTTINGHAM, England (Reuters) - South Africa lost four wickets in the final session of a fluctuating first day of the second test against England at Trent Bridge on Friday but finished with a defiant flourish to end on 309 for six.

Heavily beaten in the first test, where spinners Moeen Ali and Liam Dawson took 14 wickets between them, the tourists had to battle swing and seam this time. Pacemen took all six wickets, Stuart Broad picking up three on his home ground.
