- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.3 Morkel has the last laugh, one just outside off, goes on the drive again, foot not there this time, nice bounce takes the outside edge to de Villiers 76/119.3 outside off, that goes away with the arm, gets forward put then pushes at it, gets the edge to de Villiers 101/236.4 flatter ball maybe arm ball at the legs, goes to clear midwicket but Dumniy jumping to his left gets two hands to it and holds on to a good catch 210/339.4 Bodi moved to well forward of square leg, trap set, and he falls for it, touch short on the legs, goes after it, gets it high on the bat with Bodi hardly having to move as he takes it comfortably 231/441.1 outside off angled across, huge swing, near miss, off the toe of the bat towards mid-off, Williams sets off, Smith gathers, underarms into the stumps, well short and for once TV replay is not required 236/545.4 fired into the leg stump, makes room and lofts that to the on side, does not make clean contact and sends it straight to van der Wath at long on 271/646.1 what ever fast bowler wants to see, the top of the off stump being hit and sent spinning, angled in just on legth, Brent gets forwatd but the ball is through him before any defence got in the way 273/7Extras12 (b 1, lb 7, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL295/7 (50 Overs, RR: 5.9)Fall of wickets: 1-76 (Vusi Sibanda, 13.3 ov), 2-101 (Hamilton Masakadza, 19.3 ov), 3-210 (Brendan Taylor, 36.4 ov), 4-231 (Elton Chigumbura, 39.4 ov), 5-236 (Sean Williams, 41.1 ov), 6-271 (Stuart Matsikenyeri, 45.4 ov), 7-273 (Gary Brent, 46.1 ov)
