- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 gone, caught behind down the leg side! A sensational start for England, the power hitter Richard Levi gloves through, trying to flick a back-of-a-length loosener to leg 0/12.1 length ball, slogged back over mid-on ... but Dernbach gets underneath it and ABdV is out! De Villiers stood and delivered but didn't quite get enough on it, Dernbach back-pedalled, patted the ball up at the first attempt and then plucked it at the second, before falling on his backside 20/24.2 chipped to extra-cover, it's a dolly for Bairstow and Morkel goes! This was a regulation length ball, up to full speed and it came high off the bat, height but no distance and another dangerous hitter goes cheaply 37/35.5 slogged high into the night sky again, this time Swann calols for it and this is a fantastic catch, one-handed over his head to get rid of Duminy! 47/46.3 scooped to short fine leg, and scooped up by Kieswetter! He nearly collided with Alex Hales, who was also in contention to take it - must not have heard the call. Think it was another slower ball from Dernbach and Ontong had to wait on it, miscuing as he tried to get the ball over the infield 49/5Extras7 (lb 6, nb 1)TOTAL77/5 (9 Overs, RR: 8.55)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Richard Levi, 0.1 ov), 2-20 (AB de Villiers, 2.1 ov), 3-37 (Albie Morkel, 4.2 ov), 4-47 (Jean-Paul Duminy, 5.5 ov), 5-49 (Justin Ontong, 6.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 straight up in the air and what a take at mid on that is an absolute stunner. Peterson didn't get under it but dived full length at the last moment and took it with two hands, amazing effort. Kieswetter tried to drive a length ball over the top but put it high into the sky 3/14.1 slower ball bumper, hooked down to deep backward square where it's well held by Morkel had to come in a few yards and to his left, in the end took it diving down... 29/2Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL29/2 (4.1 Overs, RR: 6.96)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Craig Kieswetter, 1.2 ov), 2-29 (Luke Wright, 4.1 ov)
