    6.4 gone! first breakthrough for South Africa as Parchment comes down the track and tries to have a huge heave over the leg side. The ball goes miles into the air and comes down with Charl Langeveldt underneath it running back from mid-on 24/1

    23.4 gone this time! a quicker arm-ball from Botha, Chattergoon goes for the cut and drags into his stumps to end a well-constructed half-century and give a timely boost to South Africa 99/2
    27.6 gone! Browne plays back and is struck in front of middle and leg, huge appeal from Botha and he gets the decision for his second wicket. It's been a decent spell from Botha 110/3
    49.6 gone! Samuels misses his hundred as he tries to swing Morkel over midwicket for another six, it doesn't have the legs and Duminy judges the catch well running around the boundary. But it was a fine innings from Samuels and has given West Indies a chance to stay in the series 252/7

    38.6 gone! a huge heave across the line from Morton as he walks down the pitch against a good length ball and he gets an inside edge which makes an awful mess of the stumps. Another blow to West Indies' hopes of building a late charge 157/4
    42.1 outstanding from Morkel! a low full toss is driven fiercely back to Morkel who sticks out one hand to field it, then spins round and notices Bravo is backing up a long way. He then takes aim and throws down the stumps, the third umpire isn't needed for this one...a great piece of awareness 174/5
    43.6 gone! the fun can't last for Sammy as he swings so hard across the line that he loses control of the bat...Smith sprints in from midwicket but doesn't quite judge it properly and has to dive and slide forward to hold a superb catch low to the ground. He appears to have hurt his troublesome knee again, but he did well to hold on 197/6

    7.2 gone! What a brilliant catch by third man and Gibbs' fun is over. It was short and wide from Powell, Gibbs went in the air over backward point and Taylor sprinted round from third man to take a fine catch a few metres inside the boundary. Out of nowhere a breakthrough for West Indies 40/1
    24.1 Smith gives it away as he tries to go through the leg side off Samuels. He swings hard but the bat turns in his hands and he picks out short midwicket where Sammy takes a sharp catch...vital breakthrough for West Indies 122/2
