GW Flower	c Cullinan b Elworthy	19	55	43	3	0	44.18
13.4 straight ball outside the off stump, Flower plays with all the footwork of a New Zealander, outside edge from a cover drive straight to the 1st and only slip 65/1
MW Goodwin	c Kirsten b Klusener	34	70	45	5	0	75.55
30.4 aimed at the off stump, quick with a bit of bounce, poor cross bat shot, looping it for an easy catch for Kirsten at mid on 131/2
A Flower†	run out (Pollock/†Boucher)	29	47	35	3	1	82.85
41.3 from Cronje, played behind point, far too risky a double taken, Pollock with the excellent low throw to the keeper from deep point, no replay needed for it 186/5
ADR Campbell*	lbw b Donald	0	2	1	0	0	0.00
38.4 LBW first ball, Campbell's batting form is looking as equally shakey as his captaincy form, ball seaming into the pads, pitched on leg and straightened down the line, Shepherd gives it 175/4
GJ Whittall	c Cullinan b Donald	20	33	31	0	1	64.51
46.4 one step down the wicket, ferocious drive, hit very hard, but direct to Cullinan at cover, merely had to get his hands into place and not be blown backwards by the ball 214/6
SV Carlisle	not out	18	36	19	1	0	94.73

HH Streak	not out	9	15	13	1	0	69.23

6.4 Johnson to Boucher, poor calling by the batsmen, the ball was played hard into the mid wicket, Huckle dives well, the batsmen weren't expecting that, throws to Flower and Gibbs is well short, didn't even bother to up his pace from a jog 24/2

WJ Cronje*	b Johnson	4	8	6	1	0	66.66

SM Pollock	c Olonga b AR Whittall	52	114	81	4	0	64.19
