    4.4 gone this time! Another beauty from Steyn who draws him into an injudicious forward poke, the ball taking the outside edge and it loops to Smith at first slip who makes no mistake 10/1

    11.4 what a catch! That's a quite remarkable catch from Gibbs. Parchment drives, it takes a thick outside edge and flies to Gibbs' right at gully who dives, spectacularly, and plucks it one-handed above his head and to his right. Quite brilliant 22/3

    14.1 gone! West Indies are toast here. Poor shot from Chanderpaul to a decent delivery which angles across him, he nibbles at it and hands a simple catch to second slip 33/5

    17.6 good catch again from Gibbs. A nasty, vicious ball from Pollock which bounces off a good length and he fends this off to Gibbs' right who keeps low, moving quickly to his right, diving, and taking his second fine catch of the morning 57/6

    34.1 ... and Smith persists with good reason! In the slot from Nel, and a very loose drive from Sammy, who's played so well so far. Smith himself takes an awkward catch, climbing towards his chest at first slip, and the end of the innings is nigh 139/9

    29.4 incredible catch at deep backward square! A short ball from Pollock and Taylor never got over it, but Steyn had to make good ground and scooped the ball off the turf with a full-length sprawling dive. Very nicely done indeed, and Pollock has four on his comeback 116/8

    52.4 well, well the collapse is on. Maybe not, but West Indies have another as Taylor pitches up outside off stump and brings a thick edge from Smith, Ramdin dives across in front of first slip to pouch a safe catch and both overnight batsman are now gone 252/3

    8.4 a stunned silence greets the first wicket of the innings. Short, but not that short, and Gibbs under-edges a smeared pull onto his leg stump. He looks up in incredulity, but it's too late to save his innings 53/1

    51.4 out of nowhere a wicket, on the stumps and Amla closes the face of the bat as he tries to turn into the leg side. The edge flies to silly mid-off where Dwayne Bravo holds a sharp catch to end a stand of 199 252/2

    19.1 outside off, a firm but unnecessary push off the back foot, and Jacques Kallis at second slip plucks the simplest of chances. Another one goes, and now it's trouble for West Indies 49/2

    14.6 got him, and I'm afraid that was inevitable. The outswingers set him up, this one pitched just outside, nipped back, and would have taken out middle and leg. West Indies have lost their first wicket of the innings 33/1

    25.2 done him like a kipper, and that's justice! Morton shoulders arms to a straight delivery that zips back into him, and strikes him on the back leg in front of middle. That would have taken the bails, and Pollock has his first of the innings 88/3
