44.2 to SK Warne, cross bat shot down the ground, looking for the long on boundary, top running catch by Silva on the boundary rope. 178/7
48.3 to JN Gillespie, stepping across the stumps, Arnold pitches it up, yorker length in fact, Gillespie misses an improvised low pull, into the leg stump. 197/8
802413.00322000
5.6 to AC Gilchrist, ball is pitched up just outside the off stump, Gilchrist driving and not getting to the pitch of the ball, splices it high into the air and a safe catch taken by the cover fielder. 37/1
1013623.60341001
16.6 to ME Waugh, fantastic delivery, gives it some air, the off spinner grabs the pitch, keeps low and crashes into the off stump, Waugh cutting over the top of it. 74/2
36.1 to SR Waugh, one step down the pitch, going for the off drive, misses, off break turns into the stumps, out you go. 144/6
1003323.30310000
31.3 to DS Lehmann, another poor innings from Lehmann, frustrated by the pace of the pitch, pulled straight down the wicket, down the bowler's throat. 126/4
31.4 to MG Bevan, lazy walk down the crease, plays inside it, leggie collects the off stump, would've been stumped anyway, there'll be no red ink today. 126/5
703324.71171010
49.2 to DW Fleming, Fleming goes the big heave ho, big miss outside the off stump, to the keeper, TV called, TV dismisses. 198/9
49.6 to GD McGrath, didn't turn, ball keeps low, Kalu with yet another stumping, McGrath looking to put the ball into the Indian Ocean. 202/10
