2.2 to V Sehwag, Stunner from Kemp at second slip. Sehwag is gone. It kicked up from short of length, on the off stump line, Sehwag tries to punch it through the line, gets an outside edge and it flies low to the right of Kemp who dives to grab it inches off the turf. The camera pans to a girl in the crowd. She is shocked. "Out aa??", she screams as her hands cover her mouth in disbelief. The crowd-puller is gone. The heat has gone up. 8/1
46.2 to DPMD Jayawardene, Against the run of play, Mahela falls. Moves outside leg stump, giving himself some room, but slices a full-pitched delivery on the off stump straight to point. The crowd get on their feet to applaud. The players do the same in the dressing room.. 290/6
48.3 to Harbhajan Singh, Joy for Morne. A length-delivery crashes through the defence of Harbhajan and knocks out the bails on the leg stump.. 315/8
1023533.50402120
5.5 to ST Jayasuriya, Gotcha! Jayasuriya holes out to long leg. Quite similar to the one that he spanked for a six- again short and at the ribs, Jayasuriya swivels and short-arm pulls it straight to the man in the deep. The openers are back in the hut.. 30/2
9.3 to WU Tharanga, Another stunner from the Africans. This time it is AB de Villiers. Short and outside off, Tharanga carves it to left of de Villiers. at point, who takes a step and goes airborne and watches the ball sail into his cupped palms.. 45/3
11.4 to Mohammad Yousuf, aggression doesnt pay this time, as he comes down the track and drives one straight into the hands of mid-on inside the circle to give Ongondo his third!. 51/4
1007727.70289300
16.4 to Yuvraj Singh, Another one goes down. Dragged on. Short in length, outside off, Yuvraj's bat comes down outside the line as he tries to force it away off the back foot, gets a inside edge and the timber is disturbed.. 72/5
47.5 to Mashrafe Mortaza, banged in short, on the off stump line and Mortaza has a heave across the line, doesn't time well and balloons it to deep midwicket region. 309/7

18.2 to AB de Villiers, Rafique strikes, looking to go over the extra-cover....gets the outside edge and goes to short thirdman...Mortaza walks a few feet and takes the catch low down. 117/1
18.3 to HH Dippenaar, Two in two balls.....goes first ball. Dippenaar was looking to drive the ball through the extra-cover, can only mistime the shot straight into the hands of Yuvraj at extra-cover. 117/2
22.2 to V Sibanda, Rafique da strikes. He saw Sibanda, who played really well for his 45, charging, dragged back the length, just outside off to beat the bat and Dhoni did the rest. Triple-strike by Rafique has pegged back Africa's progress.. 138/3
45.5 to JM Kemp, The crafty Rafique da cleans up Kemp, puts Asia ahead. Yorker. On the middle line and Kemp, who tried his darn best to make a game out this, played all over it.. 281/6
1007307.30254400
1004834.80320310
27.6 to SO Tikolo, Fab doosra. Tikolo is beaten comprehensively. It landed just outside off stump, Tikolo lunges forward, dragging his feet out of the crease while playing for the one turning in but it goes the other way and Dhoni whips the bails off in time.. 149/4
31.1 to MV Boucher, Dhoni is on a roll here! Boucher steps out in an effort to work the ball away towards square leg but fails to make contact and the ball rolls behind off the pad, Dhoni stretches across to his left, gathers the ball with his left hand and drags the ball on to the stumps. Boucher tried his best to get back in but he is just short of his crease. This is glove work at its best. 159/5
47.2 to E Chigumbura, And then they were three. Chigumbura has a wild heave across the line, Harbhajan had slowed the pace of the delivery - doosra incidentally, and Chigumbura is through with his shot early and the ball goes on to disturb the timber.. 290/7
