13.4 to DJ Hussey, caught! Hussey makes room by moving towards leg and eventually has to reach out for the ball outside off stump, he hits it with the bottom of the bat and the ball lobs towards de Villiers at cover, that's a pretty easy catch to take. 140/3 13.5 to DA Warner, Warner's gone! He won't get his hundred on debut but he's done enough to get a standing ovation from the massive MCG crowd. Warner tried to lift Ntini off his pads but didn't quite get the power or the placement, he lofted the ball towards deep midwicket where de Villiers settled under the ball. 140/4 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 0 | 16 | 1 | 8.00 | 6 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
3.2 to SE Marsh, caught! It's Morkel again! Tsotsobe bowls a poor ball on Marsh's pads, he whips it hard but it's in the air and in the vicinity of Morkel lurking at short fine leg, he dives to his right and pulls off a low catch, that's Tsotsobe's first international wicket!. 38/1 | ||||||||||

| 4 | 0 | 38 | 3 | 9.50 | 8 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 0 | |
17.4 to L Ronchi, caught! Terrific effort from Ntini! Ronchi makes room again and slashes the ball high in the air towards third man, I think Ntini mis-judged it a bit and the ball looked like it was going to fall short off him. But he came in, dived forward and held the catch centimeters off the grass. 168/7 19.3 to JR Hopes, caught! Steyn bowls another slower one at 119 kmh, Hopes makes room to hit inside out over cover but gets beaten by the change of pace, he lobs a simple catch towards Botha. 180/8 19.5 to NW Bracken, bowled him! Bracken moves outside leg stump to make room, Steyn bowls the ball fast, full and dead straight, he beats Bracken for pace and hits middle stump. 181/9 | ||||||||||

| 4 | 0 | 30 | 2 | 7.50 | 8 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | |
9.3 to RT Ponting, caught! Ponting tries to clear the long-on boundary but doesn't quite make it, he holes out to Dale Steyn in the deep, it was a length ball and he hit it well, just not well enough for the MCG. 97/2 15.4 to CL White, caught! Another full ball, on middle stump this time, and White goes after it. He lofts the ball high towards the deep midwicket boundary. "Get up, get up" says Warner from the dug out but White hasn't hit far enough. Kallis runs to his left and takes a superbly judged catch, he looks down to see how far away from the boundary he is, he's alright!. 154/5 | ||||||||||

0.3 to HH Gibbs, lbw!! Bracken bowls a full ball, Gibbs tries to flick off the front foot but misses and gets hit on the pad. The impact was outside leg stump, Gibbs is unlucky. 1/1 14.5 to JA Morkel, caught! The lights are not in White's eyes this time! Morkel gets under a length ball and hits it hard, flat and straight to White at deep midwicket, he takes the catch comfortably. 120/6 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 36 | 2 | 9.00 | 13 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 0 | |
1.3 to AB de Villiers, de Villiers is in pain! And he's out! Tait bowls a short of a length ball at 155.6 kmh, de Villiers tries to pull but is beaten by the pace of the ball, it crashes into his hip off the bottom edge and he winces in pain, he loses balance as he moves back and the bat hits the stumps, he's in a lot of pain and he hobbles back to the dug out, I hope he isn't badly injured. 2/2 17.6 to LL Tsotsobe, bowled him! Tait sends down another yorker, this time the ball smacks Tsotsobe on the pads outside the line of leg stump and then bounces on to the stumps. 130/10 | ||||||||||
| 3 | 0 | 15 | 2 | 5.00 | 12 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
2.5 to JH Kallis, bowled him! Kallis charges and makes room to hit down the ground, he misses and Hilfenhaus hits the top of off stump, that ball moved off the pitch a touch, Hilfenhaus does look a bit like Harmison, South Africa are in loads of trouble. 12/3 16.2 to M Ntini, bowled him! Hilfenhaus sends down another yorker and gets it to swing into Ntini's boot, Ntini loses balance as the ball thuds into his shoe and goes on to hit the stumps. 127/9 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 31 | 1 | 7.75 | 5 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
8.5 to VB van Jaarsveld, caught! Hopes bowls a length ball angled into the left-handers pads, van Jaarsveld hits the ball in the air towards midwicket but he's placed it straight to White who takes a comfortable catch at head height. 65/4 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 25 | 3 | 6.25 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | |
11.2 to MV Boucher, that is some catch! Boucher charges down the track and lofts David Hussey towards deep midwicket, his brother Michael is in the deep and he pedals backwards and never takes his eyes off the ball, the ball is virtually past him when he reaches up and holds it while moving backwards, superb catch. 82/5 15.2 to JP Duminy, lbw! Duminy' gone! He tried to reverse sweep a delivery angling into him from round the wicket, it was the quicker one from Hussey and Duminy missed it, the ball hit him on the pad right in front of the stumps, that's probably the end of South Africa's challenge tonight. 123/7 15.5 to DW Steyn, Steyn's gone too! He tries to hit on the on side but the leading edge falls into Bracken's hands at short third man. 125/8 | ||||||||||
