South Africa vs India, 1st Test at Johannesburg, Dec 15 2006 - Match Result

tries to defend this one and misses

short of a good length and on the stumps, moving away very very late, played at and missed, the ball just misses the outside edge and goes through to the keeper. Loud shout for the catch behind. The excitement is palpable here but that can't be given

short of a good length and on the pads, played at and missed, off the thigh pad to the man at short-leg

worked away through midwicket and three more runs to the total but that's not especially relevant at the moment

very full and on the off, driven hard at. The thick inside edge goes down towards fine-leg for a single to end the over

short of a length and outside the off, left well alone to the keeper

Sreesanth goes for the yorker but is way off target and the ball goes down the leg side to the keeper

fullish and outside the off, late swing once more, played at and missed. Surely one of these is going to take the edge sooner or later.

just short of a driving length and on the off, swinging away a touch late, the batsman straddles the crease and defends carefully

short of a good length and outside the off, left alone to the keeper

slightly fuller and on the off, Ntini opens the face of the bat and glides the ball down towards gully

fullish and on the stumps, a hint of away movement again. A careful defensive shot back down the pitch to the leg side

loose ball that. Full-toss outside the off stump, the batsman spots it early and drives well through cover to the boundary!

Three in a row now! The ball pitches in a good line and length, the ball goes away with the arm, played at and missed, through to the keeper

full and outside off once more, slanting away, played at and missed again. So close!

full and just outside the off, swinging away late, played at and missed once again. Zaheer on the spot right away.

overpitched and outside the off stump, flashed at and missed, swinging away, driven at and beaten, through to the keeper

short of a driving length but again down leg, played at and missed, off the pads to the on side

very full and outside the off, this one swings away expansively and late, driven at and missed, through to the keeper
