2.4 to NJ Astle, caught! Lee pitched that short of a length and outside off stump, Astle waited for it and tried to cut it, his feet didn't move at all and he ended up getting a huge nick through to Gilchrist, Lee deserved a wicket, he's been outstanding today. 5/1
4.2 to HJH Marshall, Lee has another one, brilliant pace bowling, Lee pitches it on a perfect length and seams it away from the right hander off the pitch, Marhsall plays back and pokes at it, the ball kisses the outside edge and Gilchrist does the rest. 7/2
8.423313.80342100
47.4 to MJ Mason, that's the end of that, Bracken bowls the effort ball, just a bit quicker and in the blockhole, Mason plays all around it and has his stumps re-arranged, New Zealand are bowled out for 218. 218/10
1012432.40483001
34.1 to BB McCullum, and he's successful with his first ball! that pitched short of alength just outside off stump, McCullum moved across his stumps and got hit on the pads, the Australians go up in appeal and the umpire agrees, that might have struck him marginally outside the line of off stump. 126/6
43.2 to JEC Franklin, short ball yet again and this time Franklin connects with the pull, he pulls it straight to Matthew Hayden at deep midwicket, Hayden hardly had to move and took an easy catch. 193/8
45.2 to CD McMillan, that's the end of a pugnacious innings! McGrath bowls a full toss, McMillan tries to hoick it down the ground and skies it back to the bowler, McGrath takes a simple catch, there's a bit of confusion as to whether the full toss was above waist height, McMillan hangs around for a bit but has to go in the end. 205/9
1015445.40395201
13.1 to SP Fleming, He strikes first ball! Good length outside off stump, Fleming tries to loft it over the off side, he was not to the pitch of the ball and he hit it high on the bat to Hussey at mid-off, who takes an easy catch. 38/3
17.1 to LRPL Taylor, Clark gets another! Pitches short of a length on off stump, Taylor throws his bat at it and tries to heave it down the ground, he gets a lot of height on it but not the distance, Hussey back-pedals from mid-off and takes a well-judged catch. 53/4
26.4 to PG Fulton, Gotcha! Fulton perishes. Short of length, outside the off stumpm it goes straight on and Fulton plays a nothing shot, a lame push and steers it straight to Hayden at first slip.. 84/5
36.5 to DL Vettori, Vettori's clever shot wasn't so clever this time, knowing that Vettori likes to run it down to third man, Ponting stationed himself at a wide slip, Clark bowled it short of a length outside off stump and Vettori opened the face and ran the ball straight to Ponting who took a sharp catch at face height. 136/7

2.4 to ML Hayden, Hayden goes! He drove hard and away from his body at one that was short of alength and a touch wide, he couldn't keep it down and Ross Taylor pulled off a sharp catch, diving forward and to his left and cover. 6/2
6.5 to RT Ponting, Ponting goes! That pitched just outside off stump and cut back into Ponting who got forward and hit on the flap of the pad, New Zealand appeal confidently adn the umpire agrees with them! Ponting looks disappointed and that may have been a touch too high. 17/3
1014714.70426011
1.2 to AC Gilchrist, that's a huge wicket! Franklin bowled that very wide outside off stump and Gilchrist chased it with a full-blooded swing, it was too wide and Gilchrist only managed a thick edge through to McCullum. 6/1
1023423.40463013
40.3 to CL White, Caught! Gillespie bowled another short ball, he's bowled so many good ones today, White tried to pull, the ball was quickly on to him and he hit it high on the bat, Peter Fulton ran in from the deep to take a well-judged catch sliding on his knees at deep midwicket. 175/6
44.3 to B Lee, caught! and what a catch! Gillespie bowls the slower ball and Lee was early on the drive, the ball gets a thickish outside edge and loops in the direction of point, Marshall dives full length and to his right to take the catch with both hands inches from the ground. 198/7

Vettori tossed taht slowly through the air, Clarke tried to hoist it over midwicket but was early on the shot, he top-edged that high in the air, Ross Taylor ran backwards from midwicket, the ball landed in his hands, popped out and went back in again. 167/5
