17.1 to JP Faulkner, floated up on middle and he's played all around a straight ball. Slight step forward and a wild waft at it as it squeezes under his bat and takes knocks middle stump back. 158/5
17.2 to SB Harper, pushed through on middle and leg from around the wicket, Harper has walked across his stumps to hit it fine, but he's walked too far. Bowled around his legs off a straight ball. Green's on a hat-trick. 158/6

19.2 to BW Hilfenhaus, another beauty from Rohrer! Full slower ball on off stump, he makes room and seems to have got enough to slice that past point, but Rohrer has dived slightly to his right, slightly backwards and takes that one gorgeously at full stretch. 163/8

4.6 to GJ Maxwell, low full toss on middle stump, Maxwell wants to scoop this over short fine, but gets it at the absolute bottom and it balloons up. It's that long boundary again and the fielder runs in to take it inches off the ground. 49/1
15.2 to KP Pietersen, SUPERB FROM WATSON! Low full toss on off stump, he tries to open the face and hit it into the off side, but hits it straight back to Watson who gets down quickly to his left and tumbles as he takes this one in his follow-through. 147/4
18.6 to A Zampa, full and wide, gets bat on it this time, but it is sliced uppishly and straight to Rohrer who takes a nice low catch. Fantastic over from Watson.. 161/7

6.4 to LJ Wright, looped up on middle stump, holds it's line and doesn't turn, Wright gets forward and lifts it back feebly to Fawad. The flight on the ball and the shot were equal on that one. Very soft dismissal.. 67/2
10.2 to DJ Hussey, 81.5 kph, tossed up on middle. Hussey plays across the line and tries to punch it through midwicket, but completely misses it. Goes through him and hits the top of off-and-middle. 91/3

5.1 to AC Blizzard, he's found his line! Good length on off stump, nips back in slightly, Blizzard takes a swipe across and loses his stumps. Ugly end to a scrappy innings.. 42/2
5.4 to SR Watson, Test match line, Test match length, Test match Watson. Good length on off stump, shapes away slightly, no feet from Watson and he ends up hanging his bat at that. The outside edge flies low and Harper takes a sharp one-handed catch low to his right. 43/3

4.2 to KR Patterson, short of a length, angles it across the left-hander, who tries to pull it. The ball skids through, keeps a little low, and catches his inside edge. Comfortably taken by Harper. 38/1

12.5 to BJ Rohrer, shorter ball and Rohrer was looking to pull it away. But the ball does not get up as much as he would have liked and he gets an under edge as the ball goes on to the stumps. 84/4
