0.5 to ML Price, edged low to the keeper and just the early breakthrough the Cobras were looking for. 1/1 15.5 to A Jacobs, edged low to 1st slip, no mistake there. Cobras now 1.12 points ahead of the Titans again.. 49/3
Rory Kleinveldt	15	2	46	2	3.06	70	0	4
1.4 to JT Smuts, and an early breakthrough for the slim new Kleinveldt as well. Umpire thougth a while and then Holdstock raised the finger. 5/2 34.3 to BL Bennett, Kleinveldt strikes in his first over again as this one is pushed back tamely to the bowler. 105/5
Dane Piedt	21.5	3	78	2	3.57	90	0	0
50.4 to KR Smuts, wanted to play that to leg, but gets a leading edge to slip. Third bonus point on the board while both the Titans and Lions are struggling.. 151/7 64.5 to L Meyer, stuck in front and umpire Howell raises the finger. 218/10
Claude Henderson	17	3	65	4	3.82	69	0	0
21.6 to JP Kreusch, too full and close for the cut, but he tries it anyway and pays the price. 57/4 47.1 to CA Thyssen, saunters down the wicket and has an ugly slog, Canning quick with the gloves. 135/6 59.6 to SR Harmer, this time he goes back to the bludgeon tactic but clubs it into the breadbasket of Shah at mid on. 190/8 61.3 to ACR Birch, great shot to play in the last over of the day, pulling across the line and it clips the top of the stumps to give the Cobras maximum bowling bonus points.. 196/9

69.1 to OA Shah, looks back at his stumps, perhaps he thought it was outside the line. 242/7 77.1 to J Louw, a powderpuff dismissal, he wanted to play it to mid wicket but a leading edge carried comfortably to the bowler. 256/9
