6.5 to V Sehwag, caught behind, you could see it coming, Pollock pitched that on a good length just outside off stump, the ball moved a shade away from Sehwag who played away from his body and got the edge. 18/1 6.6 to VVS Laxman, and he lasts just one ball, very similar to the one that got Sehwag, pitches outside off on a good length, moves away ... Laxman feels for it away from his body and edges to first slip, Smith hangs on to a simple catch. 18/2
Makhaya Ntini	10	1	32	3	3.20	41	0	1	2	0
47.3 to Harbhajan Singh, good length delivery outside the off stump, Harbhajan without fails goes after it but on this occasion the ball clips the outside edge and flies down to third man. Pollock moves across quickly to his left and takes it on the slide. 183/7 47.5 to MS Dhoni, Et tu, Nel ! short of a good length delivery on the middle and off stump line - Dhoni swings across the line and the ball steeples towards wide long-on. Nel sprints in from the deep, throws himself full length to his left and takes a two handed blinder.. 183/8 49.6 to A Kumble, bowled'm! fulltoss on the stumps - Kumble goes for the wild swing and the ball crashes into the woodwork. You miss I hit. 200/9
Jacques Kallis	10	1	56	1	5.60	30	5	1	1	0
45.6 to IK Pathan, good length delivery on the middle and leg stump line - Pathan moves away from the stumps in an attempt to.., well I don't know what he was trying to do there. Ball clips the inside edge and crashes into the stumps - India six down. 173/6
Andre Nel	10	1	34	1	3.40	41	3	1	0	0
42.4 to KD Karthik, short of a good length delivery outside the off stump - bit of extra bounce there - Karthik looking to nudge it through the vacant slip area is done in by the extra bounce - ball slides off the face of the bat and goes straight to Boucher behind the stumps. 154/5
Robin Peterson	5	0	33	0	6.60	15	6	0	0	0
Justin Kemp	5	0	23	2	4.60	15	2	0	1	0
31.4 to SR Tendulkar, de Villiers pulls off a stunner and we are back to square one. Too short and too wide outside the off stump - Tendulkar goes for the cut but fails to keeps it down, de Villiers at cover point drives across full length to his left and takes it as clean as a whistle.. 103/3 37.6 to D Mongia, harmless delivery on the middle and leg stump line - Mongia moves across a long way( make that a mile) in an effort to loft the ball down to fine leg but fails to make contact and the ball crashes into the stumps.. 127/4
