34.2


Sreesanth to Kallis, OUT, 136.4 kph, what a ripper from Sreesanth, that leapt, pounced at Kallis from a short of a length, just reared up so sharply and jagged into him. Kallis had no chance, and fended at it. He really couldn't do much else. The ball smacked into his glove and lobbed up to gully where the fielder took an easy catch. But wait, there's more drama, umpire Davis wants to check if Sreesanth over-stepped. Replys show his foot was OK. Massive breakthrough for India. And what a brute of a delivery. Kallis had to arch his back to unbelievable proportions to fend that.

Fall of South Africa Wickets

12.1


Sreesanth to Smith, OUT, 135.4 kph, Sree gets his man, it was short and Smith went for the pull, it was too close for the shot, the steepler went miles in the air, and Sree and Dhoni both ran towards the ball as it came down near square leg, Dhoni settled under it, and took the catch cleanly, Sree has struck before tea, Smith departs


GC Smith c †Dhoni b Sreesanth 37 (62m 38b 5x4 0x6) SR: 97.36
South Africa 63/1 AN Petersen 23* (38b 4x4) S Sreesanth 3.1-0-13-1

15.4


Harbhajan Singh to Petersen, OUT, 84.2 kph, Harbhajan has struck. And as is often the case with him, its the bounce more than the spin. India are right back into it now. That one bounced extra from a length on middle and off as it turned down the leg. Alviro stayed back and tried to turn it behind square, but the bounce did him in. He got the inside edge onto the thigh and it was an easy take for Pujara. Harbhajan keeps appealing, Alviro keeps watching and eventually umpire Rauf raises the finger. Under the circumstances, a poor shot considering leg slip was in place for the shot.


AN Petersen c Pujara b Harbhajan Singh 26 (78m 45b 4x4 0x6) SR: 57.77
South Africa 82/2 HM Amla 16* (14b 3x4) Harbhajan Singh 2.4-0-9-1

16.2


Sreesanth to Amla, OUT, 137.2 kph, India are on top now. Sreesanth has sent Amla back, and this is the poorest shot he has played in this series. Probably one of his poorest shots all year. Sree got it to move away, but it was too short and a touch too wide outside off to trouble Amla. Or so we thought. Amla wanted to have a cut at it. The away movement and they slight lack of bounce meant it missed the middle and took the outside edge. It was dying on Dhoni who did well to fall forward and scoop it before it landed. HUGE wicket.


HM Amla c †Dhoni b Sreesanth 16 (19m 16b 3x4 0x6) SR: 100.00
South Africa 82/3 JH Kallis 0* (2b) S Sreesanth 5.2-0-28-2

39.6


Harbhajan Singh to de Villiers, OUT, 86.0 kph, Harbhajan has struck the second big blow of the morning and AB de Villiers has been adjudged lbw. Controversial as they come, it's not easy for an offspinner to get an lbw against a right hander from round the wicket. Harbhajan tossed this up on off stump and got it to bite and straighten. AB was forward, but struck around the knee in front of the stumps. Replays suggests that was going over the stumps. AB is not pleased at all. India are on top here.

42.4


Khan to Boucher, OUT, oh my, that's a poor decision from Davis. Things are not going SA's way this morning. Zaheer lands one back of a length on middle and though that straightened a fraction, it was still going to miss off stump. Easily. Boucher was in the crease as he tried to angle it square and it thudded into his pad a smidgen outside off stump. And it was heading further away from the line of the furniture. Umpire Davis did not think so. India's insistence to not have the UDRS might have earned them a wicket here.

48.5


Khan to Steyn, OUT, 129.6 kph, Zaheer has toyed with Steyn, worked him over with variations in length and once he felt he had enough of him, he's sent him on his way. Lovely, lovely bowling. Zaheer got this to land on a length from slightly side of the crease and move away from Steyn. The length was perfect for the outside edge in case Steyn was going to fall for the bait. He did. Loose drive outside off and Pujara at third slip takes it nicely. The entire Steyn v Zaheer contest has been riveting to watch. Zaheer gets the bragging rights here.

Harbhajan tossed this up on off and middle and got it to bite and straighten. AB was forward, but struck around the knee in front of the stumps. Replays suggests that was going over the stumps. The way AB played at that made him look plumber than he should have been - he reached forward instead of front and across and played inside the line. It struck in front of middle. AB is not pleased at all. India are on top here.
