Charl Langeveldt	7.3	1	44	2	5.86	28	5	1	0	0
0.3 to ND McKenzie, regulation edge and Putters goes to his right and gathers one handed in front of 1st slip. 0/1 36.3 to Z de Bruyn, finds the yorker and clatters into the base of off stump. 223/8
Neil Carter	3	0	20	0	6.66	12	4	0	1	0
Vernon Philander	5	0	26	1	5.20	17	2	0	0	0
32.1 to TL Tsolekile, looks for the big heave ho but only finds a leading edge which loops up over teh bowlers head and requires a sliding, diving gather from the mid off who move smartly. 206/7
Sybrand Engelbrecht	8	0	56	0	7.00	17	3	1	2	0
Francois Plaatjies	7	0	44	4	6.28	19	2	1	3	0
12.4 to VB van Jaarsveld, induces the edge as he went for the big heave and Puttick does the rest. 73/2 16.6 to JD Vandiar, round the wicket and in at him has him flaying a little instead of guiding and it goes straight to the skipper at a wide slip, around 3rd slip in fact. 93/3 28.6 to AN Petersen, perhaps bounced a little more and Petersen was looking to accelerate, cannot clear bwd point. 185/5 37.5 to WL Coetsee, gets under it but doesnt time as Plaatjies held it back just a smidge, easily taken at long on. 235/9
Robin Peterson	8	0	47	2	5.87	23	2	2	3	0
24.4 to DJ Vilas, backed away and was looking to go over the off side field but didnt quite get to the pitch and ended up offfering a little looped catch to mid off who had to come fwd to gather it well in front of him. 149/4 29.3 to R Frylinck, looks for the big heave over cow corner but doesnt get it all and Levi can come in off the boundry and take neat catch without much fuss. 187/6

4.4 to S van Zyl, drives hard as nel comes round the wicket but van Jaarsveld takes a blinder at short cover, would have worn it if he didnt catch it. 18/1
