0.1 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
A touch of swing that started wide and went wider, left well alone
|
0.2 |
Anderson to Smith,
1 run,
South Africa are away, but streakily, off an inside edge to a fullish ball that swung away from off stump
|
0.3 |
Anderson to Prince,
2 runs,
full and wide and guided, but with bat well away from body, through point where a very slow outfield restricts it to two
|
0.4 |
Anderson to Prince,
no run,
good ball, full and swinging, with a perfect upright seam, away from Prince who hangs his bat out, as the ball zips past
|
0.5 |
Anderson to Prince,
no run,
full again, good length in these conditions and Prince thinks about playing before drawing his bat inside the line
|
0.6 |
Anderson to Prince,
no run,
too wide and happily left alone to complete a decent first over

2.1 |
Anderson to Prince,
OUT,
Anderson strikes early! Classic opening wicket, just back of a length, moved a touch away from Prince as he tried to defend off the back foot. It bounced a little more than he expected and ended up fencing, off the shoulder of the bat, to Graeme Swann at third slip.

AG Prince c Swann b Anderson 2 (8m 5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 40.00

2.2 |
Anderson to Amla,
no run,
uncomfortable start! On the perfect length and finding the edge first-up, but all along the ground to the slips
|
2.3 |
Anderson to Amla,
no run,
outside off, but definite zip through to the keeper. Lively
|
2.4 |
Anderson to Amla,
no run,
lovely bowling. A fraction short of a length but leaping past the splice. Dicey times
|
2.5 |
Anderson to Amla,
1 run,
good thinking from Anderson, pitching it up to seek that swing, but Amla is equal to this one and stabs it through the leg-side to get off the mark
|
2.6 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
back of a length and met with a straight bat on the back foot. Feisty over

4.1 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
zipping back into the left-hander this time. Squeaks of excitement, but that was always high
|
4.2 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
fired across the left-hander, and heading ever wider. Still, he might have flashed at it I suppose
|
4.3 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
a beauty, short and climbing across the left-hander, and Smith just does enough to pull his gloves inside the line. Dangerous delivery
|
4.4 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
full length again, and swinging prodigiously towards the cordon. Smith defends with an angled bat and point tidies up
|
4.5 |
Anderson to Smith,
2 runs,
this one holds its line, and Smith jabs into the leg-side
|
4.6 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
drawn forward, and pushed into the covers. More swing in evidence, and that's another fine over
|

|
6.1 |
Anderson to Amla,
no run,
lovely line and length, ghosting past the edge as Amla just about held his bat inside the line
|
6.2 |
Anderson to Amla,
1 leg bye,
speared onto the pads, shouts of "catch!" as the ball deflected in the air, but it was never close to short leg
|
6.3 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
outside off stump, left alone this time
|
6.4 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
just a touch too short, more swing, but Smith is able to watch that onto the middle of the bat
|
6.5 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
width outside off, left alone without much alarm
|
6.6 |
Anderson to Smith,

JM Anderson
5-1-7-1
|
10.1 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
swing, and copious amounts thereof. Streaking late across Smith's bows, and defended on the back foot
|
10.2 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
prodded to midwicket, as the 90% humidity, and an apparently high tide, all contribute to yet more swing
|
10.3 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
Smith takes a blow on the finger as he plays low in front of his pads. And that hurt him. He doesn't often show much pain, but Mitchell Johnson broke his finger twice last year, so out comes the physio
|
10.4 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
That zippy short length comes out once again, just a fraction too short to catch Smith out, but bending late through the air to keep him honest
|
10.5 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
fuller and a shade wider, left alone
|
10.6 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
that one reared from a full length, and Smith does brilliantly to ride the bounce of that one. He grins broadly after escaping that bullet

|
19.1 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
starts with a ball swinging away from Graeme Smith's off stump, he leaves alone
|
19.2 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
better line but quite short, Smith is battling hard here, stands tall and defends
|
19.3 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
fuller length and just outside off stump, Smith defends with a closed face to mid on
|
19.4 |
Anderson to Smith,
FOUR,
too wide, a bit short, and Smith crunches it through cover for his first boundary. Great batting to have defended all morning, but still jump all over a loose delivery
|
19.5 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
again dragged back of a good length, Smith, slightly more assertively, defends to midwicket
|
19.6 |
Anderson to Smith,
1 run,
much fuller, enough to draw a scream of excitement from the England fielders, as it squirts of the inside edge down to fine leg

|
21.1 |
Anderson to Kallis,
1 run,
speared short of a length into the body and turned away to deep square
|
21.2 |
Anderson to Smith,
FOUR,
too short, which given the conditions is not the smartest length, Smith rocks back and shoves it away with a pull shot for four to deep square
|
21.3 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
back of a length again, Smith stands tall and defends with authority back towards the bowler. Crucial period before lunch here
|
21.4 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
tight line on off stump, but the length allows Smith to skip back and defend to mid on
|
21.5 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
much better length but too wide of off stump and swinging wide, Smith shoulders arms
|
21.6 |
Anderson to Smith,

wide of off stump and left alone again

|
24.1 |
Anderson to Smith,
1 run,
Smith gets inside this shortish delivery, and works it away firmly behind square
|
24.2 |
Anderson to Kallis,
no run,
lovely delivery, full, jagging away, Kallis leans forward to defend but it zips past the outside edge
|
24.3 |
Anderson to Kallis,
no run,
good again, the full length makes Kallis defend from the front foot, but he's hanging in his crease and defends late on it
|
24.4 |
Anderson to Kallis,
no run,
this time Kallis is more solidly forward and defending from off stump to the cover region
|
24.5 |
Anderson to Kallis,
no run,
looking for the yorker from wide of the crease, lands it well, but Kallis is up to the task and blocks it out to mid off
|
24.6 |
Anderson to Kallis,
no run,
angled in again, and once more Kallis is a picture of determination, defending solidly to complete the session.

9-2-18-1

26.1 |
Anderson to Kallis,
1 run,
leaping bounce into the thigh pad. Kallis removes one hand from the bat as he tries to defend
|
26.2 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
clearly pitches outside leg, so no chance of an lbw. But some slight alarm as Kallis turns down a sharp single to short leg
|
26.3 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
outside off, and that zips past the edge. Smith just about avoids playing at that one
|
26.4 |
Anderson to Smith,
no run,
pushed back into the crease, and punched up to midwicket
|
26.5 |
Anderson to Smith,
2 runs,
on the pads, flicked fine, and the slow outfield comes to England's aid again
|
26.6 |
Anderson to Smith,
2 runs,
on the pads again, slightly erring in line at the end of that over. Fine leg tidies up

28.6 |
Anderson to Kallis,

30.2 |
Anderson to Kallis,
1 run,
up onto the toes, and clipped behind square
|
30.3 |
Anderson to Smith,
FOUR,
that won't keep the slips in business. A misdirected bouncer, down the leg side, and helped over the ropes with a roll of the wrists
|
30.4 |
Anderson to Smith,
1 run,
driven hard but Onions at mid-on can only parry the ball as he dives. A scampered single ensues
|
30.5 |
Anderson to Kallis,
no run,
width outside off, and no stroke offered this time
|
30.6 |
Anderson to Kallis,
1 run,
dabbed into the gap, and a single to complete the over

61.1 |
Anderson to Boucher,
FOUR,
well, Boucher is off straight away. Full and on leg stump, clipped easily away for a boundary
|
61.2 |
Anderson to Boucher,
no run,
good comeback, better line, around off stump, Boucher hops back and inside-edges this on to his pads. Drawing squeals from the England fielders
|
61.3 |
Anderson to Boucher,
no run,
good ball again, swinging in and beating Boucher's defensive shot and the ball rammed into the pads. Another appeal but it was sliding down leg
|
61.4 |
Anderson to Boucher,
no run,
slightly shorter and Boucher mistimes an attempted cut and the ball trickles out on the off side
|
61.5 |
Anderson to Boucher,
1 run,
back on a full length and it's worked towards midwicket for a single
|
61.6 |
Anderson to de Villiers,

swinging in on middle stump and de Villiers defends perfectly back to the bowler to complete the over

Anderson to Boucher,
no run,
short and rearing up at Boucher who stands tall and guides it out to point
|
63.2 |
Anderson to Boucher,
1 run,
better length, fuller, giving it an opportunity to swing in, Boucher drops it out on the off side and scampers through for a quick single
|
63.3 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
no run,
full and angling in again, de Villiers defends from the front foot
|
63.4 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
2 runs,
swinging in once more, does he bowl any outswingers these days? de Villiers works it into the leg side, wide of midwicket, off a thick inside edge
|
63.5 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
no run,
outside off stump, left well alone
|
63.6 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
no run,
swinging in again, but it's an attacking, full length and a tight leave from the batsman

65.3 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
no run,
this is again well wide of off stump, not going to interest anyone, least of all de Villiers, who shoulders arms
|
65.4 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
no run,
better line, forces a defensive shot from another fullish, inswinging delivery
|
65.5 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
no run,
a touch wide again, and can't draw a shot
|
65.6 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
3 runs,
just back of a length on off stump, de Villiers, stands tall and forces it, from the top of it's bounce, through the covers where only a snail outfield prevents four. Top shot.

Anderson still gunning for the inswinger, angles it in at Boucher who works it to midwicket

67.2 |
Anderson to Boucher,
no run,
shorter length, won't find any swing from there, but it's on off stump and defended into the covers
|
67.3 |
Anderson to Boucher,
no run,
spearing in once more, defended from the crease
|
67.4 |
Anderson to Boucher,
FOUR,
lovely shot, another full and inswinging delivery, Boucher turns his wrists over it and flicks finely for four
|
67.5 |
Anderson to Boucher,
no run,
responds with a bouncer, but it's far too short and sails over a crouching Boucher harmlessly
|
67.6 |
Anderson to Boucher,

finds the ball he's been looking for all over, swinging in and rushing Boucher's defensive shot into the leg side

80.1 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
no run,
zip off the seam first-up! A touch too wide to draw a stroke, but instant encouragement for England
|
80.2 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
no run,
sensible bowling from Anderson, pitching it up by half a yard and demanding a stroke
|
80.3 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
1 run,
worked into the covers, and they scamper a single to bring Morkel onto strike
|
80.4 |
Anderson to Morkel,
1 run,
on the pads, flicked fine. A fraction misdirected
|
80.5 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
no run,
nothing misdirected about that one! The ball zips past the edge, and the players go up for a huge, if slightly uncertain appeal. Sensibly they decline to review
|
80.6 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
FOUR,
too much width and far too short. A poor ball to finish an attacking over, and de Villiers' quick hands make even quicker work of that

82.2 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
no run,
holds it's line just outside off, de Villiers thinks about playing before opting to leave
|
82.3 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
no run,
given the conditions and the new ball, Anderson should be fuller here, but it's on a length, outside off and left alone
|
82.4 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
no run,
finds a better length here, attacking the stumps and it's defended from the crease
|
82.5 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
no run,
this really zips through, on a length outside off and flew through de Villiers's defensive fence
|
82.6 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
FOUR,
grim. Horrid short and wide delivery, de Villiers throws him arms at it, top edges, to the third man boundary, Anderson looks aghast, as well he might. Poor way to finish the over for him

84.1 |
Anderson to Morkel,
no run,
outside the off stump, Morkel lifts the bat high above his head, which given his height, is miles from the ground
|
84.2 |
Anderson to Morkel,
no run,
good shorter ball, Morkel took a blow at Centurion from Onions, this time he stands up and plays it well
|
84.3 |
Anderson to Morkel,
FOUR,
great shot, pitched up a fraction and Morkel strides out and drives handsomely through the covers
|
84.4 |
Anderson to Morkel,
1 run,
so Anderson reverts to short of a length, and Morkel helps it round the corner
|
84.5 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
2 runs,
another caressed back foot drive, taken from the top of it's bounce, through the covers, excellent shot, but far to short from Anderson
|
84.6 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
no run,
good response, much fuller and finds movement of the pitch as it skims past de Villiers's prod outside off

86.1 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
no run,
We have a review.... good ball, full and swinging in, rushes through de Villiers's defensive stroke and clips the back pad. Given not out by the on-field umpire, and it looks like the correct decision, because it's going well over the top. England could have been looking for an inside edge as well, but it wasn't there
|
86.2 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
no run,
less incident here, outside off and left alone
|
86.3 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
no run,
much better length from Anderson this over, has de Villiers defending from the crease
|
86.4 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
no run,
full again and swinging in, de Villiers drops it into the off side, the batsmen think about a single but some sharp fielding prevents any chance
|
86.5 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
no run,
fuller, inviting the drive, de Villiers obliges but it goes straight to mid off
|
86.6 |
Anderson to de Villiers,
no run,
slightly too wide outside off stump, de Villiers leaves alone. Much better over there, more threatening

Anderson to Ntini,
no run,
attempted yorker, well bowled and well played. An inside-edge rules out any hope of an lbw appeal
|
102.3 |
Anderson to Ntini,
no run,
full and late-swinging once again. Ntini watches it all the way onto the bat
|
102.4 |
Anderson to Ntini,

bouncer and comfortably ducked. I sense England are getting a mite peeved now

104.2 |
Anderson to Steyn,
FOUR,
that is a wonderful strike! Not even de Villiers could have played that better. Onto the back foot, and crashed through the covers with a full and straight blade
|
104.3 |
Anderson to Steyn,
no run,
loose drive, but that is doing too much and would have missed leg
|
104.4 |
Anderson to Steyn,
1 run,
swiped across the line, not quite such good shot selection for those last two deliveries, but he's still there
|
104.5 |
Anderson to Ntini,
no run,
well left, Ntini raises his bat in a massive arc outside off. One ball to survive in this over
|
104.6 |
Anderson to Ntini,
no run,
he survives, but only just. A tight line outside off, and the ball ghosts past the edge

Anderson to Steyn,
FOUR,
epic batting! A fraction short, and Steyn rocks back to butcher that through midwicket! In the end it wasn't perfectly timed, but the intent was plain and shot selection flawless

106.3 |
Anderson to Steyn,

defended on the back foot as Anderson tightens his line. Watchful

106.4 |
Anderson to Steyn,

there it is, the end comes at last, and sadly for Steyn he falls short of his half-century. A short delivery, just straight enough to demand a stroke, and Prior behind the stumps gathers a regulation nick
