9.4

Ashwin to Shah, no run, flighted outside off, turns in, gets the inside edge back to the bowler

9.5

Ashwin to Shah, 1 run, well bowled, but how well has Shah recovered? He sees Shah charge down, fires in a carrom ball down the leg side, a desperate Shah flings his bat at it to get some sort of contact to avoid a stumping. He manages a leading edge that lobs midwicket

Cape Cobras 72/3   OA Shah 21* (20b 2x4)

10.3

Bollinger to Shah, FOUR, educated edge here... Shah makes room here, Bollinger follows him to cramp him up. Shah still tries to force a cover-drive, gets an inside edge that beats the stumps, the keeper, and the fine leg

Bollinger to Shah, 1 run, slower one on off, drops it to point and takes the single

10.6

11.5

Jakati to Shah, SIX, more movement before the ball is delivered, but this time he does it down the track to loft him well over long-on. It goes into the sea of yellow in the stands

11.6

Jakati to Shah, no run, punched to extra cover, but gets no run

Cape Cobras 93/3   OA Shah 33* (27b 3x4 1x6)

12.2

13.3

Bravo to Shah, 1 run, Badri has saved three runs here. Shah makes room, then drives this slow ball square, Badri makes a diving save at point

13.6

Bravo to Shah, 1 run, slower ball, would have been wide had Shah not tried to late-cut it. You could see why Shah wanted to late-cut it, though. The third man was up in the circle, but he just couldn't nail the gap between point and short third

Ashwin to Shah, 1 wide, cat and mouse, if ever there was one. Shah shapes to move forward, Ashwin pauses during the delivery stride, Shahs stops moving too. It's almost as it somebody has hit the pause button. Ashwin blinks first by firing a wide down the leg side

16.2

Morkel to Shah, 2 runs, slower ball, Shah has placed this wide of deep square for a couple

16.3

Morkel to Shah, OUT, another slower ball, another wicket, is this the over that turns this game? He looks to flick this over midwicket, from well outside off, and although he connects well, there is no pace on the ball to allow him pace on the shot. Hits a dolly to midwicket

OA Shah c Hussey b Morkel 45 (55m 38b 3x4 1x6) SR: 118.42

Cape Cobras 126/5   OA Shah 45 (38b 3x4 1x6)
