- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 Vinay gets the breakthrough! not a particularly great ball, and not a particularly great shot either, shortish and well outside off, Vandiar brings out the pull, only manages to edge it to the keeper 29/112.5 Well, I guess the overthrow was not needless after all, Kumble has sent Petersen back with that skidder of his that bolts up from a length! Petersen goes down on a knee for a pull, but the ball is long gone before he swings. Stumps asplay. 100/43.3 two in two for Vinay! that was a great delivery, Cameron has to trudge back after a short of length ball shapes away after pitching around offstump, that's Vinay's stock delivery, Cameron had no answer to it, just hangs his bat at it, outside edge and Uthappa collects gleefully 29/27.5 van Jaarsveld's gone after some confusion in the calling, he pushed the length ball towards mid-off and sets off for a run, it was wide enough to get the batsmen thinking of a second, van Jaarsveld goes for it, Petersen sends him back, van Jaarsveld slips as tries to get back, du Preez fires in the throw, a pumped-up Steyn whips off the bails and celebrates, Virat Kohli needlessly gives the batsman a send-off 73/318.5 McKenzie is run out, another slower ball from Steyn, Mckenzie can't get the timing into his drive to wide long on. He makes a late decision to go for the second, Kohli sends in a rather accurate throw to the striker's end. Uthappa comes forward, takes it and breaks the stumps with mcKenzie diving in. 140/617.3 third good piece of fielding in three balls, this time it is Kohli, and de Bruyn is gone! He had to make something happen here, backed away to leg stump, du Preez gave him no room and he ended up spoining it straight up. Kohli ar long on took the swirler 128/5Extras6 (lb 2, w 4)TOTAL159/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.95)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Jonathan Vandiar, 3.2 ov), 2-29 (Richard Cameron, 3.3 ov), 3-73 (Vaughn van Jaarsveld, 7.5 ov), 4-100 (Alviro Petersen, 12.5 ov), 5-128 (Zander de Bruyn, 17.3 ov), 6-140 (Neil McKenzie, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.3 gone this time! Cameron was looking for another yorker and missed by a foot. Pandey latched on and looked to go over long off, but could not get enough on it. O'Reilly at long off runs in, tumbles forward and takes a smart catch 85/27.6 Dravid is gone, again he stepped away from leg to get that one towards the off side, he misses and the ball crashes into the stumps, the breakthrough Lions have been searching for 53/113.3 Taylor is gone! He could have been representing any one of three teams in this tournament, but his returns so far will make the other two teams not mind the fact that they don't have him. Half volley on off stump, asking to be thumped, Taylor tried to take it over the cover fielder, but Petersen inside the circle jumped up to haul it in. 98/314.6 Uthappa is gone! Another full toss, on the pads, Uthappa drills it down to deep mid wicket and completes the single. He thinks of a second and over-commits to it - shades of Vaughn van Jaarsveld earlier in the day. Kohli sends him back and Uthappa stumbles back in at the bowler's end, but the stumps are borken by the bowler 112/4Extras3 (lb 1, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL160/4 (19 Overs, RR: 8.42)Fall of wickets: 1-53 (Rahul Dravid, 7.6 ov), 2-85 (Manish Pandey, 11.3 ov), 3-98 (Ross Taylor, 13.3 ov), 4-112 (Robin Uthappa, 14.6 ov)
