South Africa 1st innings		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
GC Smith*	b Mahbubul Alam	157	422	248	17	1	63.30
87.3 and another one! Full and just outside off, nips back and Smith tries to go through the leg side again, misses and the ball cannons into his off-stump. Another good innings from the skipper. 327/3
ND McKenzie	c Mehrab Hossain jnr b Shahadat Hossain	42	172	118	7	0	35.59
34.6 and there he goes. McKenzie goes for the big square drive after Hossain bowls a wide half-volley. Scoops it just enough so that backward point can grab it out of the air. 102/1
HM Amla	b Mashrafe Mortaza	112	205	165	12	0	67.87
86.4 gone! Amla seems to just have played around it a bit, got good swing and some movement off the deckand Amla edges it right into his stumps. Good innings comes to an end. 327/2
JH Kallis	c Mohammad Ashraful b Shakib Al Hasan	16	56	35	4	0	45.71
97.5 gone! Kallis, out of his nature, goes for the big shot over the top, and hits the ball straight down mid-on's throaght. 352/4
AG Prince	not out	59	152	98	4	1	60.20

AB de Villiers	c †Mushfiqur Rahim b Shakib Al Hasan	3	17	15	0	0	20.00
101.3 gone, another stupid dismissal. De Villiers takes on the spinner on a deck with a lot of turn and bounce, he comes down the track and gets a fine little edge, either way he was 3 metres out of his crease and the keeper dislodged the bails just to be safe.Goodbye. 365/5
MV Boucher†	b Shakib Al Hasan	15	32	34	1	0	44.11
111.2 and that's another one! Straight delivery deceiving Boucher who plays around it and top of off-stump is hit. 404/6
M Morkel	c Mohammad Ashraful b Shakib Al Hasan	8	17	12	1	0	66.66
115.3 and there goes another one. Morkel attempts the big sweep shot, gets the top edge and skyes the ball. Ashraful has to make some ground to get to that and does well. Good catch. 420/7
DW Steyn	c Tamim Iqbal b Shakib Al Hasan	1	12	10	0	0	10.00
117.6 Steyn goes for the big heave over the top. Gets a thick edge and the ball flies to point who takes a good diving catch. 427/8
M Ntini	c †Mushfiqur Rahim b Mahbubul Alam	5	21	13	1	0	38.46
122.5 and that is the end. Ntini edges the ball through to the keeper. South Africa declare their innings. 441/9
