Over 22.4 Mitchell Starcto AN Petersen,Bowled Him!Cleaned him up with an inswinger! Petersen plays right across the line with a flick on the frontfoot and is cleaned up by an inswinger which rattles the stumps through the gate. The Umpire wants to check for the no-ball and Starc was fine with his footing.
Over 24.3 Mitchell Starcto JH Kallis,Clean Bowled!And what a big wicket before Lunch! Kallis comes forward and drives at that outside the line and it is a late inswinger which sneaks through the gate to hit the off stump!
Over 26.5 MG Johnsonto AB de Villiers,and Amla is RUN OUT! Superb piece of fielding from Warner as he charges in from covers, collects the ball and fires a direct throw at the batting end to have a struggling Amla run out by a yard! It was a soft forward defence played by AB and he wrongly called Amla for a high risk single from covers.
Over 30.5 MG Johnsonto D Elgar, Caught! Finally some luck for Johnson! He bangs in a near bouncer and the debutant left-hander goes with a hook shot but only to get a weak top edge which lobs up to the keeper down the legside. 141 kmph.
Over 67.1 Nathan Lyonto VD Philander, Caught! Philander jumps down the ground to try and clobber it over long on but the bounce from Lyon forces a mishit. The ball goes very high and swirling in the air and Hussey at deep mid on runs backwards to take a great catch.
Over 73.6 Nathan Lyonto M Morkel, Caught! This is well tossed up and Morkel is lured into the big shot which he can only drag it flat towards the man at mid on who takes a simple catch.

Over 0.3 DW Steynto Ed Cowan, Caught! Cowan comes forward in defence and goes hard with his hands and edges the speedy away swinger to Kallis at second slip who takes a low catch!
Over 5.1 VD Philanderto SR Watson,LBW!!Watson gets forward in defence and is hit on the pad infront of middle by an inswinger. That looks so out but Umpire Asad Rauf gives it not out. SA rightly ask for a review and the replays show that Watson was just dead infront and a nervous Asad Rauf has to change his decision! Crowd is disappointed and are booing as it is Nathan Lyon who walks in as the night watchman instead of Ricky Ponting!!
Over 15.2 VD Philanderto RT Ponting,LBW!!Ponting is gone cheaply in his farewell Test! Given out lbw by Asad Rauf and it does look very close, only doubt whether the impact was outside the line of off. It is a length delivery that draws Ricky on the frontfoot and the ball skids through to hit the ball below the knee roll infront of off. Ponting has asked for a review. But the ball is shown to be hitting middle stump. So it will be an early end for Ponting, he fails once again!
Over 16.2 DW Steynto MJ Clarke, Caught! Amazing delivery from Steyn at speed, and swinging away after angling in towards middle and Clarke is squared up and is forced to edge it behind to the keeper!!
Over 30.3M Morkel to MEK Hussey, out Caught by Smith!!Length ball around off-stump and swinging away, Hussey comes on to the front foot and tries to push at it, gets the thick outside edge and goes straight in to the hands of Smith at 2nd slip and he takes it simple.Michael Hussey ct Graeme Smith b Morne Morkel
Over 45.5 RJ Petersonto MS Wade,Bowled Him!And that is the much needed breakthrough for the Proteas! Wade is down on his knee to play the sweep shot, which he does so early, and misses a flighted turning delivery which strikes the off stump.
Over 53.1 RJ Petersonto JW Hastings, Caught! Brilliant presence of mind from Alviro Petersen at long off and he ensures that it is going to be a clean catch and not a six. It was a mishit from Hastings but was threatening to push Alviro back over the ropes. Alviro just the nick of the time lobbed the ball in the air and came back into the playing area to complete the catch. So South Africa take a first innings lead of 62 runs.
Over 51.5 RJ Petersonto MG Johnson,Bowled Him!Beautifully bowled by Peterson, angled it in and slowed it down in the air to beat Johnson in a slog sweep, and the ball arrives little later to hit the middle stump.
Over 0.3 DW Steynto Ed Cowan, Caught! Cowan comes forward in defence and goes hard with his hands and edges the speedy away swinger to Kallis at second slip who takes a low catch!

Over 6.6 MG Johnsonto AN Petersen, Caught! Leading edge and Johnson converts the half chance into a catch! This was a short and rising delivery and Alviro had closed the face of the blade to tuck it to the onside but the ball got big onto him to take the leading edge which lobbed up. Johnson ran in towards the ball and lunged forward to take a great low catch!
Over 32.3 Mitchell Starcto GC Smith, Caught! What a stunning catch it is from Nathan Lyon! One of the best you would ever see in the game!!! This is a near bouncer and Smith pulled it flat in the air towards deep backward squareleg. Catch it is the call but Lyon has to cover lots of ground which he does and puts on a sliding dive forward to take a low catch!!
Over 88.5 MG Johnsonto D Elgar,LBW!!Johnson follows the two nasty lifters with a full delivery and Elgar is caught back in the crease, and looks to flick it, but only to get hit on the pad dead infront of middle. Review was taken by Elgar but only for it to be wasted.
Over 111.5 Mitchell Starcto M Morkel,Clean Bowled!This is a fast and furious inswinging yorker at 142.3 kmph to clean up the base of the middle stump of Morkel! So that is the end of the South African 2nd innings. The Target for Australia is 632 runs with 14 overs to bat this evening.

Over 42.5 DW Steynto Ed Cowan, Caught! Gone, Cowan has fallen in the trap! Steyn fires in a bouncer angled into the body and Cowan takes it on with a pull shot but hits that straight at the throat of Elgar at deep backward squareleg.
Over 37.4RJ Peterson to RT Ponting, Caught! That ends Ponting's Internationl Career and he gets a standing ovation from the crowd. Flighted one with some some extra bounce from Peterson and Ponting shapes up for the cut but he is cramped up for room with the ball not turning away and it is a soft dismissal in the end, with an edge getting nicely caught by Kallis at slip.
Over 57.5 RJ Petersonto MJ Clarke,Stumped Out!Peterson gets another big fish out! Clarke has come down the track and this time he is deceived in the air by a well tossed up delivery outside off which spins away past the bat and AB pulls off a quick stumping!!
Over 60.3 DW Steynto MEK Hussey, Caught! Hussey comes forward and tries to drive it through the line but there is just a bit of movement which forces a thin edge to the keeper!!
Over 61.5 RJ Petersonto MS Wade, Caught! Gone! Peterson takes one more! Wade jumps out and heaves at that flat in the air and finds Graeme Smith at short mid wicket in the way!
Over 70.2 M Morkelto JW Hastings, Caught! This is well pitched up outside off and Hastings is tempted to drive at it, but only to edge it low to Smith at first slip.
Over 66.5 VD Philanderto MG Johnson, Caught! Goes back to drive it through covers and this delivery nips back slightly to take a thin inside edge to the keeper.
Over 82.5 DW Steynto Nathan Lyon, Caught! And finally the second new ball has done the job for the Proteas. This annoying last wicket stand comes to an end. Lyon comes half forward and pushes at this speedy outswinger to edge it low to Smith at first slip who holds onto it to his right.
