0.2 to Gibbs, what a start! Vaas signals his return with a classic delivery, pitched on middle and off and shaping back into the right-hander, Gibbs pushes forward to defend but fails to make contact and is trapped stone dead. That was hitting middle and leg and umpire Bowden had no hesitation in raising his finger 0/1

3.3 to Hall, and the inevitable! another good length delivery, pitched close to the off stump line and slanting across the right-hander, once again Hall drives away from his body, and after 6 close misses he finally makes contact, Dilshan at second slip goes low down and snaffles it cleanly - South African two down and in deep trouble here. 4/2

7.4 to Rudolph, Malinga strikes again! a classic round arm delivery, good length ball, pitched on and round the off stump line and slanting in with the arm - Rudolph was clueless, goes for the drive and the ball sneaks through the gap between bat and pad. Off stump is pegged back and that's a massive wicket. 31/3

64.6 to de Villiers, de Villiers departs on 95! fuller length delivery outside the off stump, the Malinga skidder as they call it - de Villiers drives away from his body with no real foot-work, looked like the bat hit the ground at it got close to the ball, hard to say if there was an edge involved - Malinga was convinced and umpire Bowden's crooked finger went pretty quickly. 256/6

20.3 to Amla, Murali too joins the party! a genuine off-break, tossed up and turning in from outside the off stump, Amla makes the cardinal mistake of playing it on the back-foot, ball turns in just enough to beat the inside edge and hits the pad, impact was probably touch outside the line of the off stump but umpire Bowden adjudicates in favour of the bowler 70/4

57.2 to Prince, gone! bit of a loose delivery from Murali - pitched wide outside the off stump and Murali gets the ball to turn away sharply, Prince leans back and cuts hard, ends up with a feather touch and Jayawardene holds on well to a fairly hard chance, ending a fantastic innings from the South African captain 231/5
