England's attempts to fight back in the third npower Test against South Africa were delayed by morning rain.

Coach Peter Moores called for his side to show their character on Thursday after being dismissed for just 231 on a good Edgbaston surface on day one.

South Africa are due to resume on 38 for one, having lost captain Graeme Smith to Andrew Flintoff's bowling on Wednesday evening, when play gets going at 11.15am.
