1.6 to BB McCullum, Steyn strikes early.... poor shot by McCullum. The ball was fullish in length on middle and leg, McCullum tried to flick that past square leg but didn't watch the late outswing. He ended up playing an inside-out stroke which caught the leading edge and lobbed high to Gibbs at extra cover. 7/1
7.1 to L Vincent, that was simply stunning....the slower ball cleans him up... Steyn steams in, rolls his fingers over the ball and bowls a really slow offcutter. Vincent clearly didn't read it as the ball landed on a yorker length on middle and leg and sent the leg stump back a few yards. 27/2
1005215.203510
21.6 to LRPL Taylor, played on... it wasn't a particularly good ball.... Nel gives Taylor width outside off to cut, he doesn't move his feet or cover the line and bounce and ends up getting a thick inside edge onto his stumps. 79/4
1004624.603002
18.6 to JM How, the slower ball claims How this time... Langeveldt bowls the off cutter, pitches just outside the line of off stump, the ball just straightens a touch after pitching and catches How in front of middle and leg as he tries to flick across the line. 68/3
44.2 to JDP Oram, soft dismissal.... Langeveldt bangs it in short of a length, Oram backs away and tries to biff that over deep square leg, he was never in control of the stroke and ended up playing far too early. The top edge lobs up for a long time and lands down Smith's throat at midwicket. 184/6
904515.002000
33.4 to SB Styris, superb commitment from Nel.... Styris steps down and tries to launch Botha downtown over long-on, he fails to get to the pitch of the ball, doesnt get the desired elevation and Nel from deep midwicket runs across, takes it running backwards, catching it on the fall. There was a bit of confusion with two fielders converging but Nel wanted it. 128/5

34.1 to AB de Villiers, soft dismissal.... overpitched outside off, de Villiers gets forward and scoops that rather tamely to Sinclair at short cover. It wasn't particularly a wicket-taking ball but de Villiers only had himself to blame for that lapse. 190/3

27.3 to GC Smith, Smith chances his arm by lofting with the turn, Vettori holds the length back on middle and leg, Smith charges down and lofts but fails to get the desired elevation. Gillespie at deep midwicket takes it easily. 173/1
31.4 to HH Gibbs, sudden rush of blood for Gibbs... flighted outside off, he slog sweeps against the turn, gets a top edge, the timing wasn't enough to get the desired elevation and Kyle Mills at long leg takes it easily. 187/2
35.2 to JP Duminy, the arm ball from Vettori, draws Duminy forward, he fails to cover the line and ends up getting a thin outside edge through to McCullum who went up in a flash. It didn't take long for the umpire to give that out as well.. 191/4

44.1 to JH Kallis, well, well.... it doesn't come easier than that... short and wide outside off, Kallis stretches out to cut, gets a thin outside edge to McCullum. 237/5
