5.4 Johan van der Wath to Jacques Rudolph, He walks across his stumps trying to paddle it away, but misses it. And the keeper's appealing! There was a sound as the ball passed the batsman, and the umpire is unmoved. Replays show it was off the pad. Good call. (0)

8.1 Johan van der Wath to Davy Jacobs, Edged and through the vacant third slip region. Just after the skipper had removed a man from that region. Don't you just hate that? One run. (1)
8.2 Johan van der Wath to Johan van der Wath, Ahhh that's poor fielding. The batsman taps it away for a single, and the fielder fires in an over-eager throw well wide of the stumps. No one is backing up and some the batsmen run two more in overthrows! The captain isn't happy! (3)
8.3 Johan van der Wath to Davy Jacobs, Ah, the quicker ball. The batsman was late on it. No run. (0)
8.4 Johan van der Wath to Davy Jacobs, The batsman has a wild slog, and gets enough to send the ball to the fence for four! Not the best looking shot, but it certainly was effective. (4)
8.5 Johan van der Wath to Davy Jacobs, Scorching bouncer, the batsman clearly didn't expect that and just sways out of the way at the last moment! (0)
8.6 Johan van der Wath to Davy Jacobs, He's slogged that down to cow corner. Long on runs in to field, and the batsmen get two. The captain is clearly not very happy with his fielder's effort there. (2)

9.3 Nicky Boje to Johan van der Wath, Placed nicely into the gap. Two runs. (2)
9.4 Nicky Boje to Johan van der Wath, And the batsman pulls out the sweep shot! Takes a lot of skill to play that, and he has enough to place it for two. (2)

10.1 Dillon du Preez to Johan van der Wath, Good slower ball, the batsman doesn't pick it up. Still gets a single though. (1)
10.2 Dillon du Preez to Davy Jacobs, Hit hard but straight to the fielder, the batsmen scamper through for the single! (1)
10.3 Dillon du Preez to Johan van der Wath, Yorker full and outside offstump, the batsman just squeezes it away for a quick single to cover. (1)
10.4 Dillon du Preez to Davy Jacobs, Wide, no run. (1)
10.4 Dillon du Preez to Davy Jacobs, Lovely late cut through the vacant third man region. Four more. (4)

11.2 Ryan McLaren to Davy Jacobs, Good shot, bad placement. Won't get a run for that. (0)
11.3 Ryan McLaren to Davy Jacobs, Edged and through the vacant third slip region. Just after the skipper had removed a man from that region. Don't you just hate that? One run. (1)

12.2 Johan van der Wath to Johan van der Wath, Tries to work it off his legs, misses, and the fielders go up in appeal! It has to be out, it HAS to be out! NOOOOO! The umpire is unmoved! Gosh that must have been close. (0)
12.3 Johan van der Wath to Johan van der Wath, Chipped down to long-off, easy single. (1)
12.4 Johan van der Wath to Davy Jacobs, Down the track and driven through midwicket. There is no fielder in the deep so Long On has to run around to field it, and so in the meanwhile the batsmen get three. Poor bowling but good placement. (3)
12.5 Johan van der Wath to Johan van der Wath, He walks across his stumps trying to paddle it away, but misses it. And the keeper's appealing! There was a sound as the ball passed the batsman, and the umpire is unmoved. Replays show it was off the pad. Good call. (0)
12.6 Johan van der Wath to Johan van der Wath, That's skied, but he's dropped it! Two more runs. (2)

13.4 Dillon du Preez to Johan van der Wath, Lofted drive, falls into the gap. The ball gets stuck in the outfield meaning the batsmen get only two. (2)

14.2 Johan van der Wath to Johan van der Wath, Nice yorker! The batsmen gets a thin inside edge and the ball flies past the legstump and the keeper. Fine leg fields to keep it down to two. (2)
14.3 Johan van der Wath to Johan van der Wath, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close. (0)
14.4 Johan van der Wath to Johan van der Wath, Pah, that was a useless shot! I've seen better batters in my fridge! No run. (0)
