1 run,
pushed down the pitch to long-on

incredible. Hard to explain quite how that sailed flat and fast over deep midwicket, when he was cramped for room and defeated on length. But it flew alright
|
36.6 |
Styris to Pietersen,
1 run,
toe-ended out to the deep, but lands safe. That was lucky. The bowler saw him coming and deliberately threw it out wide

worked from outside off to wide midwicket, he was ambling towards the covers as the bowler was in his delivery stride
|
41.6 |
O'Brien to Pietersen,
FOUR,
O'Brien's inexperience shows ... he again bangs one in and Pietersen is there and waiting, pulling hard and square, deep midwicket has no chance
