Umpires having a chat and are now offering the light which is
gracefully (and somewhat gratefully me thinks) accepted by the
batsman and off they go
Being a resident in these parts I very much doubt they will get
back on today
Flood lights are on but lots of mist over the mountain see's it
being very overcast
Hearing officially now that play has been called off for the day
Match State: Stumps - Day 2
The day belong mainly to Australia as after being pegged back a
touch Gilchrist and Warne took control scoring at a rapid rate to
put Australia back in control
With a lead of 136 the South African batsmen will need to be
positive, patient and circumspect if they hope to set Australia a
target that is realistically defendable

Match State: Lunch - Day 3
South Africa have done well in this session to try and consolidate
the innings and build up some sort of lead
As mentioned last night, they needed to be patient and positive and
this they were
Kirsten is doing well to lay a foundation for what could end up
being a substantial lead and make for an interesting Test match
We suggest you don't miss the action, so join us again after lunch
for more live commentary from Newlands

Match State: Tea - Day 3
The session goes to South Africa loosing the one wicket and scoring
109 runs to knock off the deficit and give South Africa a lead of
77
Kallis in particular looks to be extemely aggressive after getting
some flak from both the press and the Aussie players about his
slow scoring of late
He is showing his talent and where normally he would pat the bad
ball back early in his innings, he is now looking to paste it to
the boundary and this he has done well in the 31 mins he has been
at the crease
Australia (for the first time this summer) look under a touch of
pressure and it is now up to South Africa to take the opportunity
presented to them and take the fight to this superb Australian
side
There is still lots of time left here but no matter what happens
over the rest of the 7 sessions left it will be remembered as an
entertaining, hard fought Test match

Match State: Stumps - Day 3
Honours probably even in this session with the day belonging to
South Africa
Tomorrow South Africa will need to come out looking for some runs
as their batsmen looked only to be playing out the final session
after losing the wickets of Smith and Kallis
With a lead of 164, just two days still to play and an attack that
is slightly lacking in penatration they will need to post a target
that is defendable as well as being one that gives their bowlers
the opportunity to push for victory
If the day is even half as good as the previous three have been
then we are in for a treat and invite you to join us at 08:30 GMT
for continuation of the coverages of the this the Second Test
Feel free to send comments to comms@cricinfo.com
Have a good day and from Newlands we bid you a fond farewell
Top of the morning to one and all and welcome to our live coverage
from Newlands in Cape Town on this the 4th day of the Second Test

mountain which we expect will help with a little bit of swing
There is a brisk breeze blowing which should hopefully clear the
cloud and aid the sun which is desperately trying to break thru
The heavy roller is out and is putt putting along down the track
The crowd is slowly trickling in but expect it to get a bit fuller
as the day progresses
An intriguing day lies ahead

Match State: Lunch - Day 4
With a hundred runs in the session and only the 1 wicket one would
have to say the session goes to South Africa
They may look to push on a tad after lunch in order to set a
reasonable target later today while also giving themselves enough
time to push for victory
With the highest winning total achieved at Newlands being a miserly
180 and a highest 4th innings score of 335 the lead of 264 at this
stage is looking decisively in South Africa's favour
We all know the strength of the Australian side and only a wild man
would be betting against them at this relatively early stage
Join us again after lunch where we will continue our live coverage

Match State: Stumps - Day 4
Australia regained the upper hand in the 2nd and final sessions
first removing the remaining 5 wickets that South Africa were
holding and then keeping up the run rate to a healthy 4 runs per
over to post the 131 for the loss of Langer and set themselves
They will have a further 90 overs to get the remain 200 runs at a
shade over 2.2 runs per over and it can be expected that Adams
will shoulder the lion's share of the bowling as it appears that
it will be he who holds the key if South Africa hope to stop
One would have to say that the odds lie firmly in the hands of the
Australians but we all know the nature of Test match cricket and
there is no reason for South Africa to give up hope as yet
Characters will be tested tomorrow and there is no reason to
believe that it will be any less enthralling than we've seen these
past four days

RT Ponting 94* (159b 16x4) SK Warne 15* (18b 3x4)
79.1 Adams to Ponting, SIX, sht, legside and Ponting does it in style
bringing up his 100 as Adams gifted him a free hit and he lofted
it over sq leg and give Australia the win
A wonderful Test match comes to completion with Australia deserving
the win and further enhancing their status as World Champions
South Africa can take heart from the way they fought here and need
not hang their heads
Boucher says slightly disappointing but proud of the guys as it
didn't quite go their way in the final session
Didn't take the sharp chances and need a bit of luck to go our way
although not thru lack of trying
SR Waugh says it wasn't an easy task, great win, cruciale session
day 3 only conceding 87 runs and bowling some 30 odd overs
Run out of McKenzie was a vital moment but they're all important
Great Test match wicket from the groundsman Christo Erasmus
It's not all over, they know the last Test match will be tough as
one can see by the way South Africa fought here
Huge ovation from the crowd as Warne gets the Man of the Match
award
Didn't think he have to bat but great way to celebrate the 100 and
everyone all pitched in and it's an honour to play in this Team
All in all a match he'll always remember and plays homage to this
knowledgable crowd
Awards given to Langer for his 50th and Warne for his 100th
