Miller goes long, Russell puts the boot in

David Miller still takes his own "in the arc, out the park," rhyme pretty seriously and when Sulieman Benn dropped a touch too short and wide outside off, he advanced, freed the arms and swung hard. The ball was well over the two-metre tall Benn's head and the grandstand behind him as it disappeared over them both.

In addition to being an allrounder, Andre Russell proved himself an ambidextrous footballer. Last Sunday, he ran out David Miller with his right foot; this time he dished out the same treatment to Farhaan Behardien, using his left foot. Behardien was ready to set off for a single after inside-edging onto his pad but was sent back by JP Duminy who saw Russell keep going in his follow-through. When Behardien saw Russell, he put in a desperate dive but like the many footballers who try the same trick hoping to get something out of it, he was found short. Russell was on target as he kicked the ball onto the stumps. Goal! Wicket!

It's every captain's job but some do it more brazenly than others. In his first match in charge, Jason Holder wanted to show he could do it straightaway so took the new ball to set the tone and the old one to have the last say. When South Africa's tail arrived at the crease, Holder took it upon himself to give them the treatment. The first three balls of his penultimate over were brutish bouncers directed at Dale Steyn's head. He fended the first one off the glove, onto his helmet but short of Denesh Ramdin, backed away to the second one and swung at it but missed before swiping irritably at the third. Holder followed up with three yorkers to end an excellent, assertive over.

When Chris Gayle is batting, it's not just the opposition that need to take cover, sometimes it can be the spectators too. A cameraman on the square leg boundary found himself in that position when Gayle dispatched a Vernon Philander short ball his way. The shutterman put his duty first and followed the ball as it hurtled towards him. Luckily, it hit the boundary board to his left so his equipment, and his person, were safe.

Graeme Smith, in his first stint as a commentator, was reminiscing about Shaun Pollock's need for the physiotherapist in his playing days when someone else needed help stretching on-field. Marlon Samuels, who threw his wicket away in the third Test to spark a wave of criticism, did not reach long enough after attempting a suicidal single off Imran Tahir. There was no run on when Samuels punched the ball to Farhaan Behardien at mid-off, whose pick up and throw was quick and accurate; unlike Samuels' running. Samuels had not made his ground when he turned his back and replays showed he only needed to stretch a few centimetres to be safe.

Darren Sammy got a thick edge off a Vernon Philander delivery and AB de Villiers completed the catch. He celebrated in routine fashion and then turned his back to collect the helmets before realising no-one had joined him in appealing. Philander, never one to shy away from claiming a wicket, had not joined in and Sammy stood his ground. When de Villiers saw the inaction he leapt in the air and shouted the old "How was that?" before Philander joined him, the umpire raised the finger and Sammy was forced to go.
