4.6 to MHW Papps, bowled'm!

6.6 to SB Styris, goodness me! Ntini finally pitches one up, bit of a surprise delivery and Styris is sucked into the drive, the edge is produced and AB de Villiers at third slip drives across full length to his left and takes a blinder, that's the third duck of the innings - New Zealand three down and in deep trouble here. 2/3
28.3 to SP Fleming, gone! good length delivery, pitched in line and angling across, Fleming is drawn forward into a half-hearted defensive push, ball clips the left thigh and goes straight to the keeper, loud appeal and given by umpire Hair!. 78/5
28.5 to BB McCullum, another one bites the dust! good length delivery, cutting in from outside the off stump, McCullum looking to work it away on the leg side is bit early into the shot, ball clips the leading edge and goes straight back down the track, Ntini on his follow through, stops quickly, dives across to his right and takes a fantastic return catch. 78/6
