- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.2 Pollock strikes! pitched up and shaping away a touch, Parchment drives - reaching for the ball outside the off stump and the de Villiers at point makes no mistake. 19/126.2 that's the breakthrough! Short and wide again, but a fraction tighter than the last ball, and Smith can only feather a wild cut into Boucher's gloves. A great shame for West Indies, but how timely for South Africa 156/228.6 goddim! That's plumb. A very good length to Chanderpaul on leg stump, it bends back into his pads to the left-hander who over-balances and is trapped in front. Very well bowled 167/339.3 oops, that's a soft dismissal. Bravo was aiming to chip a leg-stump half-volley up and over midwicket, but a leading edge plops coolly into Graeme Smith's hands at mid-on. And that's the breakthrough that the entire crowd wish had come four balls ago ... 222/442.2 he's gone this time! A regulation seamer in the channel outside off stump, the thinnest of feathered nicks as he tried to run the ball to third man, and Boucher completes the catch 232/543.6 full toss, swung high over the keeper's head, Boucher runs back to gather, and the umpires confer. Was it above waist height? Yes it was, but the wicket has fallen nonetheless. Ramdin can consider himself unlucky there 241/644.2 turned into the leg side, Sammy calls for two straightaway, but it's always going to be tight. Steyn hurtles in from backward square, flat throw, great take from Boucher, and Sammy's bat is clearly in the air 242/7Extras23 (lb 8, nb 3, w 12)TOTAL295/7 (50 Overs, RR: 5.9)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Brenton Parchment, 4.2 ov), 2-156 (Devon Smith, 26.2 ov), 3-167 (Shivnarine Chanderpaul, 28.6 ov), 4-222 (Dwayne Bravo, 39.3 ov), 5-232 (Runako Morton, 42.2 ov), 6-241 (Denesh Ramdin, 43.6 ov), 7-242 (Daren Sammy, 44.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR25.2 tame ending. In the slot for the drive, but Gibbs got underneath it and slotted it into the covers 185/22.3 now that's the spot! Full and nipping back into the left-hander, Smith attempts to work to leg, but instead gets the thinnest of inside-edges onto his middle stump.
