    23.3 gone! This one's looped up outside off stump, down onto bended knee goes de Villiers, looking to clout that into the deep midwicket stands, but he only finds the fielder stationed near the ropes, Rana, who jumps up and takes a neat catch 167/3

    18.2 stumped second ball, and the spinner does the damage! It was a brave move, as the PowerPlay was on, but Hafeez backs his instincts, firing a quicker, flatter one outside off stump and getting Smith to leave his crease, eyeing the big hit to the onside, and all Akmal has to do is whip off the bails 140/1

    18.5 got em! Hafeez! This one's not got much on it, but it lands on a good length just outside off stump, and Bosman, perhaps looking for the turn, plays at it off the backfoot and gets the thinnest of edges into a gleeful Akmal's gloves 144/2

    37.2 this time he gets him! Again Afridi loops this one up invitingly and Prince cant resist, having another heave to leg but getting underneath it, the ball goes up in the air and Razzaq moves in from wide long-on to hold it with ease 235/4

    47.4 gone! A slow off break outside off stump, Boucher reaches for it and can only slam it to Inzamam at cover, who holds onto a simple catch with those safe bear hands, but what an innings from this man! It all ended so tamely after the fireworks he displayed! 78 from 38 deliveries! 363/5

    49.1 and he gets a wicket! He serves up a slow legbreak out the back of the hand, cleverly done but way too late in the innings, Kemp was well into his shot before the ball came onto him, getting down to slog-sweep it away, but getting a top-edge which Akmal moves across to his right to snap up 380/6

    3.2 edged and gone! Ntini perseveres with the fuller delivery and gets Hafeez stuck neither here not there, just getting half-cock forward with minimal foot movement and feeling for the ball outside off stump, and the result is an outside edge into Smith's lap at first slip 27/1

    9.1 no hundred here, as Afridi gets under a short-pitched delivery and slogs it high in the air, the steepling top-edge goes up and comes down near third man, where three men converge but its Andre Nel who holds his nerves and takes an excellent, well-judged diving catch to send Afridi back 56/3

    17.2 Inzamam perishes to the hook, oh boy! Kallis decides to tempt him with the short-pitched delivery, theres a man positioned out in the deep for this, yet still Inzamam obliges by pulling it down the throat of Andrew Hall, diving and pulling off a stunning catch at deep square leg 119/6

    19.4 as easy as they come! Kallis drops one in short and Razzaq just stands and wafts at it, the ball stands up a little more than he probably thought, and the ball just balloons up in the air for square leg to stand his ground and hold a dolly 125/7
