    3.1 miles into the air, and taken in the deep! Three down. Marsh looking to launch this over the leg side, gets a huge amount of height on it but not the distance. Superbly judged by Maphaka coming around for deep backward square, taking it in front of square 30/3

    1.6 is it out this time? Oh, gone, yes. Very full outside off, Head squeezes it to short third. Catch is claimed. South Africa are convinced. It's going upstairs and that's an easy one for the TV umpire. Taken with a juggle but held in the end 15/1

    2.2 gone first ball! Linde strikes. Inglis rocks back to a short delivery, looks to square drive, can't keep it down or go over the fielder. Simple catch to point. The ball perhaps holding a little in the surface 16/2

    5.5 the keeper calls it, and takes it! The slower ball works. A full delivery, Green aiming over the leg side, sends it straight up in the air. Rickelton does well, that was in the air for a long time. Settled under it around point 70/4

    18.2 Stubbs holds onto this! Full on leg, he swings hard and gets under it, it goes miles in the air and Stubbs runs in from long-on to take a good catch. Not easy that after dropping one 164/8

    6.4 cleaned up! Now Australia are in trouble. Back of a length, Owen giving himself room outside leg stump, aims to drive through the off side, thin top edge and off stump goes flying 73/5

    7.4 brilliant catch at deep cover! Australia collapsing. Full outside off, Maxwell slices a drive over the off side, Linde makes good ground to his left and holds a terrific one. Did very well for that not to pop out as he hit the ground 75/6

    14.4 holes out to mid-off! Good catch bv Markram!. Full on off, he backs away to try and flay it over the off side, he strikes it well but too flat, straight to Markram on the circle 134/7

    19.2 Maxwell takes an extraordinary catch at long-on! He makes it look so easy. Rickelton launches over long-on, Maxwell jumps from inside the rope to catch it and then releases it over his shoulder, lands, turns, jumps back in and catches it again without touching the rope. He made that look like a cake walk. Very few people in the world can do that 158/8

    4.4 the tactic works! Picks out wide long off. Pretorius gave himself a touch of room, went inside-out with the drive over cover, Owen barely had to move, stationed a little wider that perhaps he would be normally 40/2

    14.6 taken at slip! Great bowling and captaincy! Seam up, back of a length, pitching on leg, nipping across, he's caught on the crease with his bat coming across the line, gets a thick edge and Maxwell pouches a sharp chance at slip 120/5

    15.6 given lbw! Muthusamy reviews. But he walks before the verdict. He is halfway off when ball tracking shows three reds. Full on off, he tries to reverse sweep, it pitches on off and spins a touch to straighten enough and hit flush on the pad infront of off 123/7
