2.3 to Kamran Akmal, Steyn gets his revenge, the very next ball, though. What a cracker of a start already. The game is running along at a frenetic pace. It was the short-pitched delivery and Akmal, running high on adrenalin, went for the pull but top-edged it to mid-on.. 28/2
402616.5083010
1.2 to Shahzaib Hasan, What a stunner from Van der Merwe. South Africa roar as they get into a huddle. It was a short of length delivery, going away from Shahzaib who top-edges the pull over mid-on. Van der Merwe swung back, ran ahead and dived forward to take a sharp catch.. 8/1

15.4 to Shoaib Malik, Malik falls after a fine hand. He was down the track, didn't quite reach the pitch, went through with his lofted shot and holed out at long-off. 124/4

12.1 to Shahid Afridi, Afridi's flamboyant innings comes to an end. Duminy flighted it up, slow through the air, and Afridi was too early into his slog sweep. The edge took the ball to midwicket. The crowd give him an standing ovation.. 95/3

5.5 to GC Smith, Two fine yorkers followed by a short-pitched delivery. Smith, looking increasingly restless there, goes for the big pull and edges it straight up. The bowler himself comes under it.. 40/1

6.6 to HH Gibbs, Afridi cleans up Gibbs with a lovely slider. It landed on the off stump line and skidded on. Gibbs pushed at it, playing for the leg break, the bat outside the line and heard the death rattle. Afridi points his right index finger to the skies and stands proudly in celebration.. 46/2
8.3 to AB de Villiers, But Afridi gets his man now. Again that skidder, this time from short of length, luring AB into a cut shot. Fatal. The ball clipped the inner edge and fell on the stumps. Gone! What a strike from Afridi. And the wheels turn.. 50/3

17.1 to JH Kallis, The big fish is caught. Jacques Kallis is gone. He moved outside leg stump and went for the big lofted hit over long-on against the doosra.. He got more elevation than distance though. The ball seemed to hang on up for an eternity before swirling down at long-on. Waiting below was Malik who took it. A fine innings but he is gone now.. 111/4
