4.6 to Smith, 133.9 kph, caught behind! This one does angle into Smith who brings his bat down across his pad in an attempt to defend from the crease, the outside edge is snapped up by Dhoni. Smith falls to his bogey bowler once again 23/1

 

 

10.3 to Petersen, 132.1 kph, Zaheer has got Petersen now. He's doing it all by himself, and SA have lose their openers. Petersen shuffles across towards middle and off and it touches the pad flap on the way to clipping leg stump. Petersen will consider himself unlucky. 46/2

 

 

26.4 to Prince, 127.8 kph, Zaheer's nailed Prince with his bag of tricks. You don't need pace to do well as a seamer. Zaheer shows how it is done. He has planted seeds of doubt all over Prince's mind with his variety, by getting the ball to angle in and deviate either way so many times. In the end, he got him with one that landed on that neither forward nor backward length and held its line. Prince was playing at it in hope more than anything else, without moving his feet anywhere. Big inside edge and he played something that had a semblance of a drive. It crashes into the stumps. India all over SA now. 100/6

16.4 to de Villiers, 131.4 kph, probability, the law of averages and some compelling, if somewhat fleeting, talent enables Sreesanth to bowl an absolute ripper, and what's more - he hasn't over-stepped. Whoddathunk! Sree lands in line with off stump - that's the perfect line. He landed it a few inches short of the driving area - that's the perfect length. And then, he gets it to move away. And bounce extra. I don't know if he intended to bowl the legcutter, but the result was a peach of a legcutter. de Villiers came forward and prodded. Mistake. The movement took it away from the meat of the bat. The bounce meant it hit his glove. It was dying on Dhoni as he crouched forward to snaffle it. Sree looks up to the heavens and smiles. India will enjoy their lunch. 74/4

36.4 to Morkel, 135.7 kph, Harbhajan take a bow! What a catch! Another bouncer from Ishant. This time Morne decides to have a go at it. The extra bounce meant it took the top edge. It swirled up towards fine leg. Bhajji was standing much squarer and had a lot of ground to cover. But he got there. He then put his hands up to his left, jumped off the turf, ensured he fell inside the ropes despite the ball's momentum threatening to take him over. He landed around a metre in. Anyone remember Adam Bacher's legendary catch in 1996-97? Well, this was not as good as that one. But it gets closer than the others. 127/9

25.1 to Amla, 91.8 kph, Harbhajan bowls his first straighter one in ages. And it picks up a wicket. It landed on a length on middle. Amla had seen a lot of these in the first Test, turning harmlessly down the leg side, and went for the sweep out of habit. However, this time, it held the line. Amla missed the sweep and was hit in front. He was well forward, but that was crashing into the furniture. Game on in Kingsmead. 96/5

 

 

29.1 to Steyn, 90.0 kph, Rahul Dravid takes his 200th catch in Tests. And I doubt if I've seen him celebrate any of the previous 199 as much as this one. Harbhajan strikes with another straighter one. Steyn was playing for the offbreak as he pressed into the forward defensive. It, however, held its line and took a very thin outside edge that was flying away well to Dravid's left. He dived away in a flash and landed almost behind Dhoni as he held it in the outstretched left hand. He then got up and started running away in glee. The celebration ended with Bhajji hoisting Dravid up in the air. What drama. 103/7

 

 

29.6 to Harris, 85.3 kph, another one bites the dust! Boy, the action rolls on in manic speed. Harris pokes one to the leg side as it turns into his pads. It was going quickly and well away from Pujara at short leg, but he showed tremendous anticipation, diving away to his right and plucking it with one hand and then steadying it between chest and hands as he went down. Two supreme catches in one over. 103/8

 

 

37.2 to Tsotsobe, 83.9 kph, Harbhajan finishes it off. India lead by 74 - a mammoth advantage considering the conditions. Tossed up offie on off stump, Tsotsobe looks to smear it without getting his feet to the pitch. He scoops it straight to midwicket. Harbhajan is delighted. India are on top. 131/10
