- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 And now it's a brilliant start! Shorter length, into the pitch - which slows it down a touch - and Kotze cloths a pull shot straight to midwicket 0/14.5 Slashed hard again... and into the hands of Currie at deep third! It's the best connection of the lot. Silly game, this 37/33.2 Dragged on! Frylinck tries to hack across the line in a bid to, well, ignore the swing, but ends up under-edging onto his stumps! Awful shot, but a deserved dismissal for Currie. Scotland are up and about! 19/213.5 50 and out! That's an excellent comeback from Leask, pulling his length back and asking Erasmus to come at him. The opposition skipper duly obligies and finds nothing but air, leaving Cross to complete the dismissal by removing the bails. A bit of rush of blood to the head, but a fine innings comes to an end 106/57.3 Good length, swung down on the charge and excellently taken by Michael Jones out at wide long on! As casual as you like, couple of strides towards the boundary before taking it over his shoulder and ensuring his momentum did not taken him anywhere near the sponge. 55/417.5 Width, across the left-hander, who looks to clear mid off with some footwork down the pitch and to the legside... but straight to the fielder! Outstanding over from Wheal. 138/717.3 Width, full outside off and Wiese goes for the big shot... and loops off the outside edge down to Watt at third! That's a big, big wicket heading into the final throes of this innings 137/618.2 Scotland turning the screw at the death! It's a valiant attempt at a six to the leg side, but the wind holds it up and allows it to drop just inside sponge, into the hands of Wheal 140/819.4 Similar delivery, dug out to long on. Comfortable single.... hold up, Smit wants two... and now he's decided against it and Wheal has the bails are off! The intention was sound, but that was poor 151/9Extras9 (b 1, lb 3, nb 2, w 3)TOTAL155/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.75)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (JP Kotze, 0.3 ov), 2-19 (Jan Frylinck, 3.2 ov), 3-37 (Nikolaas Davin, 4.5 ov), 4-55 (Malan Kruger, 7.3 ov), 5-106 (Gerhard Erasmus, 13.5 ov), 6-137 (David Wiese, 17.3 ov), 7-138 (Zane Green, 17.5 ov), 8-140 (Ruben Trumpelmann, 18.2 ov), 9-151 (JJ Smit, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 driven in the air to mid-off! Lungameni's introduction does the trick as Wiese's bucket hands serve him well, diving forward. Looking to launch the wide line up and over the off-side, but he didn't quite get to the pitch and couldn't find the elevation 23/17.3 driven but it's too tight to the body! Snicked to the keeper! Crafty work from the offspinner, sliding it across Jones' bows with the arm-ball, he was committed to the stroke and it's a sharp take from Green too. Big wicket, Scotland's only source of momentum is gone 49/29.3 skids through, Green fumbles then whips off the bails anyway. He seems optimistic. The original was a clear stumping chance, but is McMullen's foot back down by the time of the second attempt? I don't think he's managed to get his studs down! He's got to go, and that is a dreadfully dozy piece of batting, reminiscent of Gooch after a plate of dodgy prawns in 1992-93! 67/310.6 wild sweep, that's plumb! The pressure tells on Cross, after a constrictive over, there's a discussion about a review but it would have been futile. Wicket to wicket line, straightens past a hard whirl of bat, and stone dead 73/417.5 holed out to long-on! Leask climbed into another mighty wipe down the ground, but this time the pace off, allied to a touch of width, leaves him reaching a touch too much. Wiese stoops low to gather, and ends a game-breaking knock 147/5Extras16 (lb 3, nb 1, w 12)TOTAL157/5 (18.3 Overs, RR: 8.48)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (George Munsey, 3.5 ov), 2-49 (Michael Jones, 7.3 ov), 3-67 (Brandon McMullen, 9.3 ov), 4-73 (Matthew Cross, 10.6 ov), 5-147 (Michael Leask, 17.5 ov)
