2.3 Pollock to Bray, OUT, terrific bowling from Pollock - that is absolutely plumb. Cutting back into Bray once more, and Bray is rather trapped on the crease - trying to come forward, but without much conviction - and that's taking out middle•Getty Images

0.3 Rankin to de Villiers, OUT, gone! It was short and wide, and deserved to be clobbered through the covers, but it jumped up a touch, causing his cut to fly to William Porterfield at backward point. And though he juggled it, he remained calm and took it on the second attempt•AFP
