well, not great follow-up to the wicket there. Massive wide down the off side

Pollard to de Villiers,
2 runs,
that's much better, a slower offcutter from Pollard. Though they've taken two from a solid punch to wide long on, the ball was full and aimed at the stumps

pushed down the ground, and though de Villiers and Petersen are lightning-quick between the wickets they decide against two

no run,
de Villiers backs away, giving himself acres of room, and Pollards floats up a slower one, beating the batsman's wild slash

Pollard to de Villiers,
OUT,
another slower cutter, another wicket for Pollard! de Villiers was aiming straight down the ground, but sliced at the ball just a little, putting more height than distance in the shot, and long off barely had to move in taking the catch
