across his stumps and works it off his hip

diving short midwicket
69.5 Cronje to Vaughan, no run, defends again, Boucher says "Well bowled
Hansie, good stuff mate"
69.6 Cronje to Vaughan, no run, raucous appeal for lbw as Vaughan

70.1 Hayward to Atherton, no run, forward, into line, pushed into
offside
70.2 Hayward to Atherton, no run, hrm. Has something of a whiffle
outside off. That kept suspiciously low and beats the under edge,
nearly doesn't reach Boucher on teh full.
70.3 Hayward to Atherton, FOUR, classical square drive just backward of
point, keeps point and cover interested all the way to the rope
70.4 Hayward to Atherton, no run, similar ball, driven less hard
straight to point
Leg gully comes out to reinforce the offside.
70.5 Hayward to Atherton, no run, inside edge onto thigh pad, over teh
stumps. Strangled yelp from someone in teh field.

like it for some reason

71.4 Cronje to Vaughan, no run, wider down legside, Vaughan tries to

success.
71.5 Cronje to Vaughan, no run, well, he can pick the awayswinger,
that's for sure: lets that go by, just like the other one
71.6 Cronje to Vaughan, no run

One more over till lunch.
72.1 Hayward to Atherton, no run, steps across, shoulders arms, to the
tune of Mambo #5 from the band
72.2 Hayward to Atherton, no run, wide, loose, Atherton not in the least
bit interested.
72.3 Hayward to Atherton, one run, leans on it, pretty much - runs all
the way along the ground to deep extra
72.4 Hayward to Vaughan, no run, almost, almost turns that into
Kirsten's hands at short leg
72.5 Hayward to Vaughan, no run, on his toes, high front elbow, dabs it
down in front of him.
TV show us a replay of the attempted stumping: someone would appear
to need to remind Boucher that taking the bails off is a necessary
part of the process. Vaughan's foot did lift...
72.6 Hayward to Vaughan, no run, pushed to midon. And that is...
