After declaring at 458 for 8, led by Zander de Bruyn's 134, the Titans and a few diehard SuperSport Park supporters were given a lesson in aggressive batting with Davey Jacobs's excellent 149 off 134 balls, sending the ball to the boundary on 21 occasions and clearing it a further five times. His dominance with the bat was evident when Gerhardus Liebenberg contributed only 22 to their century partnership, while Boeta Dippenaar contributed 31 to the second-wicket hundred stand. Dippenaar will continue on day three with 34 on the board.

2nd day Western Province Boland 346 (Duminy 112, Kallis 99, Pollock 4-74) lead Dolphins 236 for 6 (H Amla 106, Pollock 52*, Willoughby 3-55) by 110 runs
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details

At Kingsmead, after dismissing JP Duminy for 112, the Dolphins made quick work of the tail to restrict WPBOL to 346. Mfuneko Ngam, having spent most of the day on the physiotherapist's table, returned to take two wickets with the 16 balls he bowled on day two. Shaun Pollock finished with four while Lance Klusener, Johann Louw and Ngam took two each. Dolphins struggled to 133 for five before Pollock (52*) and Hashim Amla (106) recovered the innings to 236 for six. A lot of hard work remains for the Dolphins to save the game.

2nd day Lions 375 (Coetsee 70*, Ontong 60, Hall 54, Ntini 4-80) lead Warriors 134 for 7 by 241 runs
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details

A concerted batting effort from the Lions, scoring 375 with Werner Coetsee undefeated on 70, made way for their bowlers who also got in on the act as the Warriors faltered with very little fight to be struggling at 134 for seven when bad light brought an end to their misery. In trouble at 46 for four, Mark Boucher and Pieter Strydom put up some token resistance but wickets fell at constant intervals to leave them floundering at the end of the day. With very little batting to come Strydom will have to dig deep to get his team back into the game.
