- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.1 a huge appeal for lbw but umpire Bowden says not out. Will Clarke use his only remaining review? He will. The ball pitched in line, it hit in line, it wasn't too high, it's crashing into off stump. Smith's gone. Bowden has overturned his not-out decision. What a start to Pattinson's second spell. He pitched it on a good length and caught Smith on the crease. The bat was a bit late in coming across the front pad and Pattinson beat it with the shape into the left-hander to hit the back pad. 29/138.4 caught at mid-on, that's such a soft dismissal! Petersen came forward and tried to hit through midwicket, he ended up hitting it flat to Hussey, who took the catch at head height. He's not mis-hit many today, has Petersen. He didn't get to the pitch of this one 119/293.3 lbw! Will Amla review? He has a word with Kallis and decides not to. Off he goes. Siddle pitched the ball on a good length and nipped it into the right-hander, Amla was caught on the crease as he tried to defend and the the ball beat the bat and crashed into the front pad around the knee roll. Asad Rauf took his time but eventually gave Australia relief. Oh my, replays indicate the ball would have passed over the stumps had Amla reviewed it. It was too high 284/3123.6 Quiney's taken a screamer at gully! What a catch as your first Test catch. The ball was short of a length and there was width outside off, Kallis tried to cut it over gully but edged it, Quiney dived to his left to catch it with both hands. The ball was traveling quickly to him. 374/4125.5 Warner's caught AB at point but the umpire is checking to see if Pattinson has overstepped. He's back foot is just okay, so AB goes too. The ball was nothing special, short and wide outside off. AB went after it and cut hard, Warner dived to his right at point and took the catch around head height. This is a huge blow to South Africa's aspirations of scoring quickly 377/5144.3 caught at cover! Rudolph stepped out again, this time he wasn't to the pitch of the ball, and he sliced it to Quiney at head height 426/7137.6 caught at first slip! Philander pushes hard at a good length ball that pitches around off and shapes away, he gets an edge that is snapped up lo by Clarke 403/6149.6 caught behind! After a flurry of short balls, Hilfenhaus pitches full, Steyn charges, makes room and swings hard. He gets an edge through to Wade 446/8151.4 caught at short mid-off, South Africa are all out because Duminy can't bat. Morkel stands in his crease and slaps a length ball straight to Siddle 450/10Extras11 (b 1, lb 1, nb 6, w 3)TOTAL450 all out (151.4 Overs, RR: 2.96, 636 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Graeme Smith, 10.1 ov), 2-119 (Alviro Petersen, 38.4 ov), 3-284 (Hashim Amla, 93.3 ov), 4-374 (Jacques Kallis, 123.6 ov), 5-377 (AB de Villiers, 125.5 ov), 6-403 (Vernon Philander, 137.6 ov), 7-426 (Jacques Rudolph, 144.3 ov), 8-446 (Dale Steyn, 149.6 ov), 9-450 (Morne Morkel, 151.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR84.4 has Eddie Cowan been run out backing up too far? He's walking off. He's out. Clarke drove the full ball hard and straight, Steyn bent down low and got finger tips on the ball. Cowan was a long long way out of his crease and couldn't get back in time. An immense innings ends in a sloppy way. He's been backing up too far quite a bit. 299/44.4 caught at second slip! Warner was caught on his crease by a good length ball that pitched in line and slanted across him, he poked at it instead of letting it go and the outside edge flew straight to Kallis 13/17.4 Quiney's been caught at fine leg! His debut innings is finished. The ball was ordinary, short of a length outside leg stump, and Quiney pulled. Steyn positioned himself on the boundary line, got under the ball and caught it. Realising he was going over the boundary, Steyn tossed it up, stepped out, stepped back in and caught it again. Top effort and he is so pumped that he roars like he's sent a stump cartwheeling. On second look, he didn;t actually step over the boundary, he merely thought he was very close to the rope. So he tossed the ball up ... 30/29.3 Ponting's made a duck! He pushed forward at a short of a length ball that pitched outside off and held its line. It's that extra bounce that Morkel gets from that length. The outside edge goes to Kallis at second slip 40/3130.1 Hussey's century has been ended by a cracking catch from Faf at short cover. He came forward to a length ball and drove hard and flat, the ball was dying on Faf who stooped low and caught it in front of him just before it bounced. Morkel's finally dismissed Hussey after beating him several times through this innings 527/5Extras38 (lb 14, nb 23, w 1)TOTAL565/5d (138 Overs, RR: 4.09, 627 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (David Warner, 4.4 ov), 2-30 (Rob Quiney, 7.4 ov), 3-40 (Ricky Ponting, 9.3 ov), 4-299 (Ed Cowan, 84.4 ov), 5-527 (Michael Hussey, 130.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 caught behind! And what a loose shot from Petersen. He reached off the front foot for a good length ball that pitched outside off and seamed away from him, Petersen was driving a long way away from his body and nicked it to Wade 6/120.5 caught at gully, and look at Pattinson go! Smith drives hard at a fuller ball outside off stump and gets a thick outside edge that flies low and to Quiney's right, he takes his second good catch of the match. Pattinson's won his battle with slip 55/232.5 caught at short cover! Siddle bowls a length ball outside off, Amla leans forward to drive and hits it straight to Hussey, who catches it at knee height, a loose shot really 102/348.5 Lyon has a wicket, Clarke's taken a sharp catch at first slip! Kallis pushed forward to defend at one that slid across him from round the wicket and edged it. Clarke took the catch low to his right, near his boot 129/462.6 lbw! Asad Rauf takes an age to raise his finger, but Rudolph has reviewed the decision. Lyon pitches outside off and angles the ball into the left-hander, Rudolph comes forward to defend but plays outside the line of the ball and is hit on the back pad. That hit the pad just in line and would have gone on to hit the sumps. That will stay out. Rudolph has to go 165/5Extras10 (b 2, nb 4, w 4)TOTAL166/5 (68 Overs, RR: 2.44, 294 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Alviro Petersen, 1.3 ov), 2-55 (Graeme Smith, 20.5 ov), 3-102 (Hashim Amla, 32.5 ov), 4-129 (Jacques Kallis, 48.5 ov), 5-165 (Jacques Rudolph, 62.6 ov)
