71.4 to JA Morkel, looked like a slower ball, had the beating of the big all-rounder and they will celebrate with a quenching drink. 237/7
Vernon Philander	17	2	46	2	2.70	79	3	0	0	1
5.3 to BD Snijman, another away swinger, this time he plays closer to the pad but can still only edge it to the keeper who takes a good low catch. 17/1 60.2 to GH Bodi, second time lucky as that one seemed to ptch in line and straighten. Bodi walks off at Inzamamesque pace after that decision.. 193/6
Francois Plaatjies	17	5	67	3	3.94	71	10	0	1	0
16.5 to JA Rudolph, pushes at this one, gets a faint edge and sent on his way by umpire Brown. 38/2 49.5 to HG Kuhn, looked to cut it, his feet were nowhere and gets a bottome edge. He stood his ground, ut umpire White sent him packing. 149/5 74.5 to RE van der Merwe, goes for the uppercut, Gray did well to come in from the boundary and dive forward for a good catch. 238/8
Justin Kemp	18.1	7	39	4	2.14	90	4	0	1	0
19.1 to PJ Malan, gets some shape back into the right hander, big shout and umpire White raises the finger. 48/3 29.4 to F Behardien, well suppose that is why, seams back into him and the appeal is upheld. 83/4 75.4 to LMG Masekela, . 239/9 77.1 to P Joubert, gets a nice short ball, but he lofts his pull shot to Levi at long leg ... good work b the Cobras. 240/10

2.2 to AG Puttick, ooh a lucky wicket there, it seamed into his body and rolled onto the stumps. 7/1 150.4 to RJ Peterson, another big hit to leg but this time he just fails to celar the man on the mid wicket boundary. 420/10
Albie Morkel	25	1	87	2	3.48	117	10	0	2	12
83.3 to RCC Canning, stretches forward again but this time it goes through the gate. The Titans still have their noses in front.. 230/6 115.3 to JM Kemp, makes some room but drives it at waist height to Behardien in the covers, he throws his head back in disappointment. 320/7
Pierre Joubert	26	7	53	2	2.03	130	7	0	0	1
24.6 to S van Zyl, a little bit of away movement and it takes the edge, umpire Pienaar raises the finger. 81/2 143.1 to CK Langeveldt, looks for the huge drive over mid on, but he misses and this time it clips the top of off stump. 379/9
Roelof van der Merwe	30	5	88	1	2.93	134	8	2	0	0

Farhaan Behardien	20	4	38	2	1.90	95	2	0	2	0
39.2 to JL Ontong, tries to play around the pad, plumb in front it seems and Mr White raises the finger. 120/3 45.4 to RE Levi, sneaks through his defence to the delight of the former WP player. 131/4

Pieter Malan	1	0	1	1	1.00	5	0	0	0	0

4.2 to PJ Malan, didn't know how to deal with that one, let it come in to him and it clipped the gloves. 15/2 26.1 to JA Morkel, edged it between slip and keeper but kemp moves smartly to his left and the titans sl;ip further into the mire. 67/6 30.3 to RE van der Merwe, full and straight, and up goes Pienaar's finger. 78/8 36.2 to JA Rudolph, rears on him a bit, off the shoulder of the bat and taken at gully - can the Titans hold out today? Still 16 overs left with the option of an extra half-hour.. 96/9
Vernon Philander	10	3	20	2	2.00	49	2	0	0	2
3.4 to BD Snijman, wanted to pull that one, but it doesn't bounce nearly as much as he anticipated and umpire White confirms the bowler's expectations. 15/1 29.2 to P Joubert, the slide continues, edged to the keeper. 75/7
Francois Plaatjies	10	2	27	4	2.70	50	3	0	0	2
17.1 to GH Bodi, oops, missed a single off the previous over. 41/3 17.6 to F Behardien, another beauty, crashes into the base of off stump and he walks off wondering what happened. 41/4 21.3 to HG Kuhn, another express delivery, short and he tries to sway out of the way but his gloves are still in the flight path of the ball. 49/5 39.6 to LMG Masekela, inswinging yorker, just what the doctor ordered. Thought there was some bat but perhaps pad first.. 108/10
