Second Day:
After surviving last night,Smith and Gibbsmade their way out with the New Zealand fieldsman.
A solid 50 parternership put down a stamp of authority,but Gibbs almost let it go when he was dropped by second slip for 24.
After that Greame Smith put his foot down and any loose deliveries were summerily thumped to the boundary.
Soon enough he flicked the ball away to bring up his fifty.
Greame Smith,50* off 85 deliveries.
However while he was very comfortable against every bowler so far,as soon as Franklin was brought in he made Smith play and miss twice as well as had a lbw appeal turned down,it looked quite plumb too,except it might just have been a bit too high.
Gibbs had looked shaky since he was put down,and found it hard to get runs,he finally pushed through to his half century.
Just after lunch.
Herschelle Gibbs,50* off 131 deliveries.
Next thing we know after a good knock Franklin bowled a really viscious bouncer whichsmashed into Smith's ribs,he went off injured.
A sad loss.
Greame Smith,retired hurt for 88 off 137 deliveries with 13 fours.
Herschelle Gibbs,not out for 59 off 150 deliveries with 5 fours.
Hashim Amla strode out to face the music.
Gibbs then decided to attack and was more confident with this approuch,though Amla didn't like it after Gibbs run him out at 1-166.
Hashim Amla,run out(Oram) for 6 off 12 deliveries with 1 four.
Herschelle Gibbs,not out for 67 off 158 deliveries with 6 fours.
That meant that Kallis came out, a very welcome appearance because of his skill at this level.
With the tea break looming,Kallis and Gibbs went on the assault,with Gibbs swiftly reaching 99,was dropped and then almost run out before he finally got the single!
Herschelle Gibbs,100* off 210 deliveries.
Which was followed by Kallis's half century.
Jaques Kallis,51* off 73 deliveries.
And then was followed by Gibbs deciding he needed to slog,thereby getting himself bowled.
A really silly shot aswellm,2-276.
Herschelle Gibbs,bowled for 116 off 216 deliveries with 14 fours.
Jaques Kallis,not out for 57 off 79 deliveries with 9 fours.
It was getting late and Kallis decided it was time to attack,and the bowlers were scattered.
He included one huge pull for six to prove it too!
But just two balls after the six he went for another one but the ball stayed low and went straight through him and bowled him,3-294.
Jaques Kallis,bowled Franklin for 71 off 89 with 10 fours and 1 six.
Neil McKenzie,not out for 4 off 10 deliveries.
The New Zealander's had been bowling a bad line and length all day and McKenzie cashed in until Gillespie gave him and extremely good ball.
De Villiers with Klusener now as the wickets seem to start roling,4-346.
Neil McKenzie,c McCullum b Gillespie for 35 off 52 with 4 fours.
A.B.De Villiers,not out for 20 off 46 deliveries with 1 four.
De Villiers doesn't last long as the BlackCaps find their grove.
Klusener now parternered with Pollock,only two more overs today,5-348.
A.B.De Villiers,bowled O'Brien for 21 off 49 deliveries with 1 four.
Lance Klusener,not out for 1 off 2 balls.
A collapse and into the tail,what is wrong with this line up,6-351!!!!
Shaun Pollock,bowled Gillespie for 3 off 4 deliveries.
Lance Klusener,not out for 1 off 2 deliveries.
Klusener too!!!!7-353.
Lance Klusener,bowled O'Brien for 2 off 4 deliveries.
Dale Steyn,not out for 0 off 2 deliveries.
Aggressive start to a fight back by the tail enders but to no avail,8-363!
Dale Steyn,lbw O'Brien for 4 off 4 deliveries with 1 four.
Makhaya Ntini,not out for 5 off 2 deliveries with 1 four.
Terbrugge finally see's them through till the end off play,at the tea break today I was thinking about declaring tomorrow on a 500+ score!!!
A really dissappointing final session,I'm not sure how they did that.
