82.2 to RR Hendricks, no reprieve this time as the finer edge goes to the keeper and at long last the Cobras taste success.. 220/2
86.5 to HH Dippenaar, no shot offered, the ball snakes back (as you expect of a Cobras bowler) and rattles the timber. The Cobras claim their first bonus point.. 229/3
90.1 to MN van Wyk, another fatal error of judgement as he leaves a ball which just enough to clip the top of off stump. 240/4
92.3 to WL Coetsee, Philander is on fire as he rips through Coetsee's defences and the umpires must fix the furniture again. 246/5
102.1 to R McLaren, edged low to Puttick, he makes no mistake at first slip and Philander has a fifer. 256/6
106.1 to AR Swanepoel, full and straight, rapped on the pads. Umpire Cloete thinks a while and then raises the finger. 260/7
132.4 to Q Friend, playing off the back foot, it kept a bit low and the middle stump disappears. Philander's 7th wicket and unless he gives away a few more runs this will be a career best.. 331/9
27.5125111.831438010
140.5 to MP Siboto, goes round the wicket and hit in front, at last the Cobras have dismissed the visitors. 345/10
1628405.256316000
32126011.871606000
21.1 to MN Erlank, on the sweep, this time Mr Knights does raise the finger. 42/1

1604402.75713100
921511.66441001
129.3 to JJ van der Wath, the part-timer makes the breakthrough. Van der Der Wath drives but skies it to mid off, where Simetu has to take a step or two backwards. It hung in the air for a long time, but was safely held. 328/8

BOWLINGOMRWECON0s4s6sWDNB
25.387512.9411910000
30.6 to JL Ontong, tempted to play the hook, a little top edge and the keeper reaches up to take the catch. 74/3
2247523.4010571110
81.2 to JP Duminy, Duminy goes to the first ball he faced after lunch as Friend makes the breakthrough with the new ball.. 250/4
114.2 to MV Boucher, moves in front of his off stump to play to leg, as he has been wont to do, but this one beats him and clips leg stump just three short of matching his career best score. 400/8
39511402.9216812100
23.218643.6810211012
92.4 to DJ Vilas, short, Vilas never says no the challenge, but this time the top carries to Friend who hardly has to move to complete the catch. 312/5
98.4 to JM Kemp, places a bit square on and hit in front, umpire Cloete raises the finger. 348/6
98.5 to VD Philander, that was full and straight and hit him low on the pads, McLaren on a hat-trick. 348/7
144.5 to JP Bothma, hit on the pad as he looks to play to leg, thought i heard an inside edge and he walks off examining his bet. End of a fantastic partnership, whatever may think of Kemp's ultraconservative tactics.. 518/9
1957523.949013025
13.1 to S van Zyl, away swinger and edged to the keeper, he takes it one handed low in front of slip, not a bad loosener for Siboto. 23/1
21.3 to AG Puttick, pushes forward and is cuaght behind. He is not so sure and waits for umpire Knights to make the decision.. 49/2

BOWLINGOMRWECON0s4s6sWDNB
19102821.471045001
62.2 to MN van Wyk, goes after a wide delivery, edged low towards 2nd slip. Not sure if that would have carried, niether was Vilas, so he dived far to his right to snatch it.. 122/4
66.5 to WL Coetsee, oh dear, put the hex on him! That moved back at him, and although he had got in a good stride, he was bang in front and Mr Knights sends him packing.. 128/5

29.1 to MN Erlank, drawn out of his crease and beaten, Vilas has the bails off in a flash. 54/1
19112531.311034000
52.6 to RR Rossouw, turns it back into the left hander, he did not expect that, and this time Mr Knights does agree with the bowler. 110/2
56.5 to HH Dippenaar, goes back and hit on the pad, that's out says Mr Knights. They go off for tea on that note, and there might still be some spice in this game.. 114/3
76.3 to RR Hendricks, Hendricks trudges off after a heroic innings, going tamely as he flicked off his pads to Puttick at a bw short leg. 4 wickets needed now.. 153/6
