Ball-by-Ball Commentary


Match State: Match start scheduled for 10am local time (8am GMT)

       A glorious summer day at Newlands greets us with expect highs of 34
        degrees celcius
        News from the middle is that England have won the toss and sent
        South Africa in to bat
        South Africa are fielding an unchanged team while for England
        Solanki looses out to the Captain Vaughan and Harmison replaces
        Hoggard
        A lightish breeze is unlikely to cool the players and there isn't
        a cloud in the sky
        All to play for with the series currently level and all
        indications are that this will be another hard fought encounter
       Anthems being playerd prior to the start
        Gough will start to the Captain
   0.1 Gough to Smith, one run, runs down to 3rd man as there looked to be
        good bounce
   0.2 Gough to de Villiers, no run, gets behind it and runs it up towards
        extra cover, conventional field, 2 slips 3rd man, point, cover,
        mid on and off, mid wkt and fine leg
   0.3 Gough to de Villiers, no run, reaaching for it, driving the wrong
        line, played inside it
   0.4 Gough to de Villiers, no run, fwd and prodding towards point
   0.5 Gough to de Villiers, wide: no run, Umpire Howell thinks about it
        and then stretches the arms well outside off
   0.5 Gough to de Villiers, no run, fwd, straighter one and he is leaving
   0.6 Gough to de Villiers, no run, fwd and leaves it to go thru raising
        the bat high

D Gough 1-0-2-0 (1w) - Kelvin Grove End
GC Smith 1* (1b) AB de Villiers 0* (5b)

   1.1 Harmison to Smith, no run, up on his toes and pushes it away to
        Collingwood at point
   1.2 Harmison to Smith, wide: no run, poorly directed once more going
        well down legside
   1.2 Harmison to Smith, no run, stands up and taps out to Bell at square
        leg, no 3rd man here
   1.3 Harmison to Smith, no run, drives but without timing up to mid off,
        3rd man sighning autographs in fact
   1.4 Harmison to Smith, one run, rising one on legstump is almost fended
        down in the direction of fine leg for the keeper to run round and
        collect
   1.5 Harmison to de Villiers, no run, good bounce taking off from just
        back of a length is well left in the end
   1.6 Harmison to de Villiers, wide: no run, legside and called
   1.6 Harmison to de Villiers, no run, very wide of off, perhaps a touch
        lucky not to have that one called

SJ Harmison 1-0-3-0 (2w) - Wynberg End
GC Smith 2* (5b) AB de Villiers 0* (7b)

   2.1 Gough to Smith, no run, leaves for the keeper to take
   2.2 Gough to Smith, wide: no run, slanting across and rightfully called
   2.2 Gough to Smith, no run, just short of a length well left as it
        moved away ever so slightly towards 1st slip
   2.3 Gough to Smith, wide: no run, down legside and Jones moves nicely
        to take but not before Umpire Howell stretches the arms
   2.3 Gough to Smith, no run, slanting across him, sets himselfs and then
        watches into the gloves of Jones
   2.4 Gough to Smith, no run, pitched up a little and he taps into the
        covers
   2.5 Gough to Smith, no run, once more and runs this towards square leg

AB de Villiers 0* (7b) GC Smith 2* (11b)

   3.1 Harmison to de Villiers, SIX, short and he rocks back pulling it to
        cow corner to get off the mark, almost the toe end of the bat

        Taufel now stretches the arms, 6th wide in only the 4th over
   3.4 Harmison to de Villiers, no run, big slash at this one outside off,
        goes to Jones as there is noticably good bounce in this wicket
   3.5 Harmison to de Villiers, wide: no run, very wide outside off, in
        fact cutting the return crease and would most likely have been
        wided in the First Class version of this game
   3.5 Harmison to de Villiers, three runs, drives thru the covers, all
        timing, Giles doesnt get the slide right ending up rolling onto
        his back and allowing a third
   3.6 Harmison to Smith, no run, across and angles but not past the
        square leg who is across straighter very quickly

        cover but not the mid off
   4.2 Gough to de Villiers, OUT: pitches and comes back hitting him on

        collect
   4.6 Gough to Kallis, no run, in the channel and Kallis is leaving, good

D Gough 3-0-8-1 (3w) - Kelvin Grove End
GC Smith 2* (12b) JH Kallis 4* (4b 1x4)

   5.1 Harmison to Smith, no run, good one, in the block hole, dug out

        on the on side and sees Harmison offer an apology to Kallis,

   6.1 Gough to Kallis, one run, opens the face and casually guides this
        down 3rd man
   6.2 Gough to Smith, no run, fwd and Smith is leaving as the line and
        length on this was just about perfect
   6.3 Gough to Smith, no run, another good one has Smith fwd and bat and
        pad together defending up the wicket
   6.4 Gough to Smith, no run, leaves a wider on alone outside off then
        thinks about if he should have had a go at it by practising a cut
   6.5 Gough to Smith, three runs, clips it off his pads past the diving
        Bell at square leg, fine leg does well to get around and save one

        but was never out

   7.4 Ali to Smith, one run, angles the bat away to the just vacated
        gully, frustration for England

   9.1 Ali to Smith, OUT: ooh a rough one for the Captain as he got well
        fwd and was hit above the roll, certainly was staight enough but
        would have cleared the stumps but almost a foot I'd think as
        hawkeye now confirms
