Conditions favor pace bowling.

Pakistan 1992 wins the coin toss and fields first.

Day 1 Over 1 / 2004 South Africa First Innings
Corlett Drive End

1.1 Waqar Younis to Graeme Smith
DOT - No run, short of a length and outside the off stump, Smith plays away from his body but makes good contact, punching the ball to the off side

1.2 Waqar Younis to Graeme Smith
FOUR - FOUR, chance of a catch, short and wide, tries to cut it hard, gets a bit of bounce that produces a thick edge, it was Ahmed at short third and he turned the wrong way initially, it went well over to his left and evaded his reach to roll down to the ropes

1.3 Waqar Younis to Graeme Smith
SIX - SIX up, up and away. That is lambasted over long-on for a maximum

1.4 Waqar Younis to Graeme Smith
ONE - 1 run, starts off full and that one's squeezed out to backward point

1.5 Waqar Younis to Herschelle Gibbs
TWO - 2 runs, appeal for run out, fullish on the off, gets back and drops it short of mid-off and sets off for a single, a direct hit at the non-striker's end but Gibbs is well in, they get an extra run on the ricochet

1.6 Waqar Younis to Herschelle Gibbs
DOT - No run, good ball but Gibbs stands back and waits for the ball to come on to him and then drives it to mid-on


13 runs

Extras: (b 0, lb 0, w 0, nb 0)
Fall of Wickets:

2.1 Wasim Akram to Graeme Smith
DOT - No run, Smith who defends to short leg

2.2 Wasim Akram to Graeme Smith (11)
WICKET! OUT, silly shot and thats the end of Smith! A needless shot, chasing one pitched up rather wide and gently starting to shape away, he's nowhere near the pitch and swings a thick outside edge through to the keeper and Akram is red-faced in celebration


2.3 Wasim Akram to G Kirsten
DOT - No run, shorter, flatter and quicker, Kirsten drives to the man at cover

2.4 Wasim Akram to G Kirsten
DOT - No run, tosses it up and he drives off the front foot

2.5 Wasim Akram to G Kirsten
DOT - No run, tossed up and defended

2.6 Wasim Akram to G Kirsten
DOT - No run, fuller ball on middle and off which Kirsten pushes to mid-off

Day 1 Over 13 / 2004 South Africa First Innings
Corlett Drive End

13.1 Imran Khan to Herschelle Gibbs
DOT - No run, comes onto the front foot and drives to the man at cover

13.2 Imran Khan to Herschelle Gibbs
DOT - No run, on the stumps and short of a driving length, Gibbs defends to the leg side to end the over

13.3 Imran Khan to Herschelle Gibbs (14)
WICKET! OUT, Khan strikes! short of a good length delivery, pitched wide outside the off stump and coming in with the angle. Gibbs goes right back and shoulders arms but leaves his bat hanging low in the air - thick edge produced and Inzamam-ul-Haq at second slip makes no mistake.


Maiden

Extras: (b 0, lb 0, w 0, nb 0)
Fall of Wickets: 1-13 (Graeme Smith), 2-37 (Herschelle Gibbs)

DOT - No run, darts back in from middle and leg, Kallis rolls it to square

27.2 Saleem Jaffar to Jacques Kallis
DOT - No run, short of a length and outside the off stump, defended to the off side

27.3 Saleem Jaffar to Jacques Kallis (9)
WICKET! OUT, Short delivery just outside off stump, rises up off the surface and Kallis jumps at it, trying to slash it over the slips, but can only succeed in getting a faint under-edge through to a gleeful keeper, who springs up and takes the offer


Extras: (b 0, lb 3, w 0, nb 0)
Fall of Wickets: 1-13 (Graeme Smith), 2-37 (Herschelle Gibbs), 3-75 (Jacques Kallis)

Day 1 Over 71 / 2004 South Africa First Innings
Corlett Drive End

71.1 Mushtaq Ahmed to G Kirsten
DOT - No run, there's a big lbw shout but it would have to be a brave and frankly silly umpire to give that, Kirsten lunging a long way outside off and not playing a shot, really the umpire has no way to predict how far that would've turned

71.2 Mushtaq Ahmed to G Kirsten
DOT - No run, much fuller length to bring out the cover drive, Kirsten reaches out but gets no timing and the ball rolls back to Ahmed

71.3 Mushtaq Ahmed to G Kirsten
DOT - No run, very full, outside the off stump, swinging away nicely, good shape on that ball, left alone to the keeper to end the over

71.4 Mushtaq Ahmed to G Kirsten
DOT - No run, Ahmed tosses one outside the off that Kirsten leaves well alone

71.5 Mushtaq Ahmed to G Kirsten
ONE - 1 run, again it spins away off a shorter length and this time Kirsten cuts it well to Ahmed's right side

71.6 Mushtaq Ahmed to Hashim Amla (54)
WICKET! OUT, stunning catch! And i mean stunning! Ahmed pitches it just back of a length outside off stump, Amla opens the face and tries to steer the ball away but thats a brilliant effort from Ahmed at gully, diving horizontal to his right and plucking the ball with one outstretched hand, then tumbling to the ground before his team-mates and the fortunate bowler mob him


1 run

Extras: (b 4, lb 4, w 0, nb 2)
Fall of Wickets: 1-13 (Graeme Smith), 2-37 (Herschelle Gibbs), 3-75 (Jacques Kallis), 4-217 (Hashim Amla)

9 overs till new ball

74.1 Saleem Jaffar to G Kirsten
ONE - 1 run, shorter length and this time Kirsten cuts it well to Jaffar's right side

74.2 Saleem Jaffar to AB de Villiers
FOUR - FOUR, firm punch off the back foot for four, was not a short ball but he just transferred the weight and drove through the line through the covers

74.3 Saleem Jaffar to AB de Villiers (8)
WICKET! OUT! This one pitches just outside off stump and comes back in, de Villiers pushes down the wrong line and misses to get struck on the front pad, Jaffar believes he's got his man and goes red-faced in appeal before the umpire slowly raises the finger


5 runs

Extras: (b 4, lb 4, w 0, nb 2)
Fall of Wickets: 1-13 (Graeme Smith), 2-37 (Herschelle Gibbs), 3-75 (Jacques Kallis), 4-217 (Hashim Amla), 5-226 (AB de Villiers)

Day 1 Over 82 / 2004 South Africa First Innings
Golf Course End

82.1 Waqar Younis to Mark Boucher
DOT - No run, fuller this time, the ball pitches and moves away, Boucher flirts with that one, the ball beats bat and goes to the keeper

82.2 Waqar Younis to Mark Boucher
DOT - No run, that's dead! A big inswinger raps the walking-Boucher dead in front, and Younis smiles back at the umpire while appealing - expectant, almost. Boucher's got away with one, there! That was knocking out middle-and-leg.

82.3 Waqar Younis to Mark Boucher (17)
WICKET! OUT, middle stump goes for a toss as Younis reverses one back to Boucher, just pitching in line and going the other way past a loose prod with no footwork


Maiden

Fall of Wickets: 1-13 (Graeme Smith), 2-37 (Herschelle Gibbs), 3-75 (Jacques Kallis), 4-217 (Hashim Amla), 5-226 (AB de Villiers), 6-250 (Mark Boucher)

Day 1 Over 84 / 2004 South Africa First Innings
Golf Course End

84.1 Waqar Younis to Shaun Pollock (0)

88.3 Wasim Akram to Dale Steyn (5)
WICKET! OUT, that's the end of that! good length delivery outside the off stump. Deliberately bowled bit wide and Steyn is sucked into the drive. Ball clips the outer half of the bat and flies away towards point. Sohail moves across to his left and takes a good catch.



Extras: (b 4, lb 8, w 0, nb 2)
Fall of Wickets: 1-13 (Graeme Smith), 2-37 (Herschelle Gibbs), 3-75 (Jacques Kallis), 4-217 (Hashim Amla), 5-226 (AB de Villiers), 6-250 (Mark Boucher), 7-254 (Shaun Pollock), 8-264 (Dale Steyn)

88.4 Wasim Akram to PR Adams
Wide

88.4 Wasim Akram to PR Adams (0)
WICKET! OUT, got him! Adams not showing good judgement of his off stump as Akram cuts this back nastily and raps him in front. Gone!

FOUR - FOUR, bang, thats four! Kirsten sweeps hard and flat across the line and sends that one racing over midwicket, powerfully struck

90.4 Wasim Akram to G Kirsten
DOT - No run, more drift into Kirsten, who defends with an inside edge to short leg

90.5 Wasim Akram to G Kirsten
ONE - 1 run, good length delivery outside the off stump. Kirsten gets forward and drives it straight to the fielder at extra cover. A mis-field from Khan, and the batsmen get enough time to cross over for a single

ONE - 1 run, just back of a length and outside the off, Kirsten rocks back and eases the ball to the off side but can't beat cover

61.5 Shaun Pollock to Javed Miandad (69)
WICKET! OUT, caught and bowled, and a moment of uncertainty! Miandad just chips one back to Pollock's right, who plucks the hard-hit drive and then looks on as if he can't believe it, and neither can Miandad, it wasn't a terrific catch or anything, it was just about a moment of silence before anyone realised what had happened .. anyway, Miandad has to go and Pollock celebrates

DOT - No run, good ball, Akram has to take a hand off the bat

88.5 Dale Steyn to Wasim Akram
DOT - No run, short and a bit of width and Akram takes the bait, trying to uppercut the ball towards third-man, he misses and the ball goes through to the keeper. There's an element of risk in that shot

90.5 Dale Steyn to Mushtaq Ahmed
DOT - No run, defended on the back-foot and the ball rolls down to mid-on

90.6 Dale Steyn to Mushtaq Ahmed
FOUR - FOUR, nicely timed through extra cover by Ahmed. If I can be hyper-critical, his feet were slow to moving forward and he still reached for it a bit ungainly but, minor quibbles aside, that was neatly played

ONE - 1 run, starts off full and that one's squeezed out to backward point

20.2 Shaun Pollock to Saleem Jaffar
DOT - No run, ooh, big lbw shout as Jaffar pushes the pad out and doesn't play, but it's too straight to do that to a ball that's going on with the arm, it was still missing off but a poor choice by Jaffar

20.3 Shaun Pollock to Saleem Jaffar
DOT - No run, angling it in, got a bit of inward movement there, tried to dab it down behind point but couldn't get his bat to it

20.4 Shaun Pollock to Saleem Jaffar (15)
WICKET! OUT, Pollock traps Jaffar plumb in front! This one pitches in line, straightens a fraction, and catches Jaffar in front as the bat comes down late

Golf Course End

27.1 Wasim Akram to Herschelle Gibbs (3)
WICKET! OUT, Gibbs walks! Akram gets the wicket as Gibbs opens the face and tickles the faintest of edges through to Mohammad, then doesn't wait a moment before turning and heading back for the pavilion, as opposed to Akram, who shouts in frustration and turns back to his mark, thinking he's beat the bat, then he looks back and sees that he's actually got a wicket

FOUR - FOUR, classy! good length delivery outside the off stump and Smith hammers it through extra cover.

28.2 Waqar Younis to Graeme Smith
DOT - No run, quick bouncer banged in! Too short though and the ball is too high, Smith easily leaves the ball alone

28.3 Waqar Younis to Graeme Smith
DOT - No run, short of a good length and outside the off stump, Smith stands tall and punches off the back foot towards cover

28.4 Waqar Younis to Graeme Smith
FOUR - FOUR, short on the stumps but thats a positive shot, picking the attempted bouncer and getting the wrists into play, pulling behind square for four

28.5 Waqar Younis to Graeme Smith (25)
WICKET! OUT, great catch! What a sharp piece of work from Jaffar at short leg! Smith tried to flick it through leg and Jaffar gets the hands down low to take a ripper between his legs

DOT - No run, tosses it up and he drives off the front foot

36.3 Imran Khan to AB de Villiers
DOT - No run

36.4 Imran Khan to AB de Villiers
DOT - No run, how was that? de Villiers sweeps hard against the turn, doesn't time it well, the ball balloons up and Khan collects, they all ask the question but there was no contact .. As for the lbw appeal, it was a good shout because replays showed it hit him full on the pads and would have grazed middle and leg … hmmm … the umpire may have missed that one there

36.5 Imran Khan to AB de Villiers (4)
WICKET! OUT, loose shot and a smart catch from Inzamam-ul-Haq! Khan succeeds with that angle across de Villiers as the batsman cannot hold back from squirting at a slightly wider one and Inzamam-ul-Haq tumbles to his left to hold a neat take at gully

Day 3 Over 49 / 2004 South Africa Second Innings
Golf Course End

49.1 Mushtaq Ahmed to Jacques Kallis
ONE - 1 run, overpitched and on the stumps, worked away to the leg side, bowling on Kallis's pads isn't such a good idea

DOT - No run, shorter and spicier and Boucher evades it

49.3 Mushtaq Ahmed to Mark Boucher
DOT - No run, slower ball, tossed up on leg, clipped to midwicket with ease

69.5 Mushtaq Ahmed to Jacques Kallis
DOT - No run, fullish and outside the off stump, punched towards off but not timed too well

WICKET! OUT, full and on the stumps, Ahmed produces a superb ball. This one comes in with the arm but pitches and straightens. Kallis plays at that - he has to - but cannot quite get the bat all the way across and behind the ball. The ball takes the outside edge, it's not a very thick one but the sound is unmistakable and they have lost a wicket.

DOT - No run, pitches it up and turns it away, Pollock leaves it be

73.2 Mushtaq Ahmed to Shaun Pollock

Day 3 Over 76 / 2004 South Africa Second Innings
Corlett Drive End

76.1 Waqar Younis to Shaun Pollock
DOT - No run, that's dead! A big inswinger raps the walking-Pollock dead in front, and Younis smiles back at the umpire while appealing - expectant, almost. Pollock's got away with one, there! That was knocking out middle-and-leg.

76.2 Waqar Younis to Shaun Pollock
DOT - No run, delivery on middle and leg and he plays to midwicket

ONE - 1 run, The ball is full and this lets Mohammad push it just wide of cover for a single

84.2 Dale Steyn to Aamer Sohail (1)
WICKET! OUT, full and on the stumps, Steyn produces a superb ball. This one comes in with the arm but pitches and straightens.

4.5 Dale Steyn to Shoaib Mohammad (23)

ONE - 1 run, he turns it past short leg

10.2 Jacques Kallis to Javed Miandad
DOT - No run, short and a bit of width and Miandad takes the bait, trying to uppercut the ball towards third-man, he misses and the ball goes through to the keeper. There's an element of risk in that shot

10.3 Jacques Kallis to Javed Miandad (10)
WICKET! OUT, Gone! full and on the stumps, Miandad leaves this one alone and it is a big, big mistake. The ball thuds into pad and the appeal is spontaneous and vociferous. Up goes the finger. That was out.
