18.6 to MG Neser, gets the yorker right and Neser shuffles across a long way to paddle sweep that, but misses and loses his off stump! A nice cameo from Neser, that Strikers needed desperately, comes to an end. 142/6

1.4 to DPMD Jayawardene, edged this time, excellent bowling from Watson! He moved this one away again from the batsman who only swung at it with no footwork, and feathered it to the keeper. 8/1
15.2 to JS Lehmann, gets a top edge and he's caught at mid on, easy one for Green. Lehmann shuffles across and swipes on the leg side, doesn't connect it well and sends that high and down the ground before Green gets under it. 106/5

2.2 to TP Ludeman, one more - and Russell has taken a stunning catch running backwards! Ludeman shuffled across a bit again, flicked on the leg side and top-edged it into the covers but there's nobody in the deep. Russell has to run backward facing the boundary, from mid-off, and gets under it just in time to get both hands to it. 11/2
5.3 to TM Head, straight to cover! It was pitched up and in the zone to be driven but Head drives it uppishly and straight to Rohrer. 42/3
19.2 to AI Ross, Ross charges down, McKay sends down a beautiful slower delivery, almost a yorker, to deceive Ross who swings and misses that. 144/7

9.4 to BJ Hodge, misses a straight one! It pitched on length on the off stump and Hodge went for a cross-batted slog to miss it completely!. 64/4

4.5 to SR Watson, gone. Watson falls. Against the run of play. Shortish delivery on middle, Watson goes for the pull but hits it in the air, midwicket takes a sitter in front of his face. Is this the break Strikers need?. 57/1

8.5 to MEK Hussey, Rashid does it. Full and wide outside off, Hussey goes for the reverse sweep and is given out caught behind. The fielders went up immediately but the bat may have grazed the surface instead of the ball. Hussey accepts the decision and walks off. Unlucky Hus. 87/2
