Haddin makes no mistake and takes a regulation catch. 37/138 goes for the on-drive again, just too much air on that one, McGain takes a good catch at mid-on. 192/320.3 full delivery, scooped up to mid-wicket and McDonald makes no mistake. 106/243 driven straight to McGain at cover. He takes a good low-catch to his right. 202/468.5 fine little edge straight into Haddin's gloves. 309/593 Oh no.. Gets a fine little edge through to the keeper and misses out on what would've been a great century. 402/693.3 Gone first ball, excellent delivery first up and van der Merwe gets a fine little edge. 403/7Extras13 (b 2, lb 7, nb 4)TOTAL403/7d (93.3 Overs, RR: 4.31, 371 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-37 (Blake Snijman, 7.1 ov), 2-106 (Alviro Petersen, 20.3 ov), 3-192 (Imraan Khan, 37.6 ov), 4-202 (Vaughn van Jaarsveld, 42.6 ov), 5-309 (Gulam Bodi, 68.5 ov), 6-402 (Heino Kuhn, 92.6 ov), 7-403 (Roelof van der Merwe, 93.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.1 And finally good bowling pays of, they did well this morning did the seamers, this time the fine little edge flies straight into the waiting gloves of Heino Kuhn who makes no mistake. 47/150.2 Goes for the big slog-sweep over deep midwicket, misses and the ball scoops up to slip, I'm not so sure that he had gotten an edge on that one, but the umpire says it's out. Maybe a bit unlucky there being in the 90's. 232/272.2 gone, finally the breakthrough. Caught trapt LBW, shorter delivery, keeping low and staying straight. 305/383.3 what a ball! Gets it to swing in and then nip away off the deck, gets the fine edge through to Kuhn. 348/4Extras9 (b 4, lb 1, nb 4)TOTAL360/5d (86 Overs, RR: 4.18, 340 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-47 (Phillip Hughes, 15.1 ov), 2-232 (Ricky Ponting, 50.2 ov), 3-258 (Simon Katich, 55.6 ov), 4-305 (Andrew McDonald, 72.2 ov), 5-348 (Brad Haddin, 83.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.5 full and straight, Khan goes across the line and misses, that was hitting middle and leg stump. 15/112.1 attempted pull-shot, miss-timed straight to mid-on. That's another one gone. 35/222.3 Gone, missed this time and hits middle. 88/412.3 gone! Middle-stump uprooted, what a great sight for any seam-bowler.
