And that signals the declaration. Couldn't have gone any better for South Africa after lunch. Steyn played the perfect innings, has ensured the hosts have all the momentum going into their stint with the ball. Steyn's innings was the fastest half-century on this ground. Terrific display of striking. Now we'll see what he, and Philander and Morkel, can do with the ball. Back in a few minutes

Benn to Steyn, OUT, this time he's gone...he only had one thought, tried to clear long on but gets too far underneath it and gives Holder time to steady himself under the catch.

Benn to Steyn, SIX, and another! Carnage from Steyn. Launches this one over long off with another wonderful clean swing of the arms. Every ball is going
121.4
6
Benn to Steyn, SIX, what a way to reach a fifty! Uses his feet again, it's slightly wider outside off but that just means it goes inside out over cover and that's into the crowd. Just 26 balls

1
Taylor to Steyn, 1 run, full on off stump, moving outside leg, carved over the off side and keeps the strike as long off fields
120.5

Taylor to Steyn, SIX, fuller and dispatched! The perfect length for Steyn to get underneath the ball and he lofts it over mid-on, with the power to clear the boundary...that's the 400

1w
Taylor to Steyn, 1 wide, bouncer, over leg stump, Steyn tries to ramp it over the keeper and slips but doesn't get it quite right...and it's called wide
120.4

Taylor to Steyn, no run, swing and a miss, showing all three stumps...he's only thinking one thing
120.3
2
Taylor to Steyn, 2 runs, steps to leg and launches a back-of-a-length delivery over the off side, to the left of long off who is able to get around...was actually a slower ball, and Steyn didn't quite time it

Taylor to Philander, 1 run, a very correct drive this time, full on off stump, beats Taylor in his follow through so it's back to Steyn

Taylor to Philander, no run, ouch! He's taken out Steyn here. He thumped a fierce straight drive and it rocketed into Steyn's left arm at the non-striker's end. He checks it out straight away, but appears to be okay. Will be bruise later. Vernon may remind him he cost him four runs.

Benn to Steyn, FOUR, sound the bugle! Terrific footwork from Steyn, skips down the pitch then rifles a drive all along the ground through cover and wide of long off. That would have looked good for de Villiers.
