5.6 to V Sibanda, big appeal as this hits him in front of off stump, and umpire Brown reaises the left hand to send him on his way. 14/1 19.2 to CJ Chibhabha, end of a fighting partnership, little nick to the keeper. 83/3 19.4 to BRM Taylor, edged to gulley, suddenly looking like the match could be over today already. 83/4 53.4 to T Taibu, but no time to celebrate as he edges straight into the hands of Snijman at 2nd slip. 237/9 55.4 to RW Price, backs away and has a huge slog, the timber is rattled and Burger has a fifer as well. 246/10

9.1 to H Masakadza, edge into the slips, easy catch at #1, Masakadza can't hide his disappointment before eventually trduging off the field. 20/2 27.2 to KM Dabengwa, faint edge and yet another wicket falls. 116/6
Shaun Liebisch	14	1	54	2	3.85	58	6	0	0	2
20.2 to S Matsikenyeri, my word, another one gone; edged low to 3rd slip where the occasional wicket-keeper takes an excellent catch. 84/5 50.5 to P Utseya, in fact missed a single due to a disconnection earlier in the over. 225/8
Paul Adams	8	2	39	1	4.87	30	3	1	1	0
40.6 to E Chigumbura, gets this one wrong, top edge to short fine leg who waits an age for it to fall to him; that was fun but just as much fun to see the little master take wickets. 202/7
