26.2 to JA Rudolph, classic dismissal, bowled around his legs. 50/1 26.6 to HG Kuhn, goes right through the batsman again but this time clips the top of leg stump. 52/2 51.6 to PJ Malan, bat pad it is this time, taken at short leg. 108/3 96.2 to H Davids, the arm ball perhaps, edged to slip for a comfortable catch. 244/6 101.2 to GC Viljoen, the ball ends up in silly point's hands, but the bad news for the batsman is that it bounced off the stumps. The cobras are smelling blood now. 261/8 103.3 to JA Morkel, Morkel was going to deal in boundaries, but that was off the toe of the bat. Henderson moves in from the long on boundary and takes the catch, Titans in trouble now. 266/9 105.6 to M de Lange, pulled to deep mid wicket, Puttick dives forward and takes the catch. An astonishing collapse has left the Cobras with a sniff of victory, needing 168 in min 38 overs.. 278/10
