Over 42.4: Out LBW!Z Khan to MV Boucher, good length delivery, doesn't get forward nor does he go back and is hit on the back pad infront of off. This was angling away initially but swung in late to fox Boucher. Steve Davis bravely gave that lbw despite the pitch being a bouncy one. Boucher's backfoot was bent to the Umpire's defence.

Over 48.5: He is Caught!Z Khan to DW Steyn, good length delivery, chases a wide away swinger and Steyn gets a thick edge which is nicely caught at first gully by Pujara.

Over 60.2: Bowled him!Z Khan to PL Harris, good length delivery at 129 kmph, angles it into the right hander and gets it to swing away ever so slightly to beat the backfoot defence and hit the off stump!

Over 12.1: He is Caught!S Sreesanth to GC Smith, short and rising delivery, goes for the big pull shot in the air from outside off and gets a top edge towards squareleg and its MSD who runs in and takes a safe catch using his gloves. Bowling Speed at 135.6 kmph.

Over 16.2: He is Caught!S Sreesanth to HM Amla, good length delivery, like VVS, Amla goes back for a cut to a wide outswinger and is caught behind by the keeper! This was a low catch for the diving MSD.

Over 34.2: He is Caught!S Sreesanth to JH Kallis, short and rising delivery, this one seems to have woken up a devil out of the pitch as Kallis has to fend this unplayable nasty lifter around off and it kisses the glove and flies to Sehwag at gully. The Umpire wanted confirmation if Sreesanth had overstepped which he didn't luckily for India!

Over 15.4: He is Caught!Harbhajan Singh to AN Petersen, flighted delivery, goes back for a flick and this off break turns in sharply and bounces a lot to take an inside edge onto the thighpad and flies to Pujara at backward shortleg.

Over 39.6: Out LBW!Harbhajan Singh to AB de Villiers, flatter trajectory delivery, drifts this away towards the slip and gets it to turn in to hit the pad infront of middle. AB has got hit on the pad first in the forward defence and then got some bat. Asad Rauf agrees with Harbhajan and SA are in huge trouble!
