Shiv goes...after a partnership of 100.
Harris to Chanderpaul, out Caught and Bowled!! an epic innings has come to an end finally! tossed up delivery outside off and turning in, Chanderpaul closes the bat face and he looked to work it away through midwicket, but gets a leading edge back to Harris, SA are relieved at last. Chanderpaul c and b Harris 166(357) [4s-10 6s-1]
150.5 Harris to Chanderpaul, OUT, Something has happened. Finally. It was a flighted delivery full outside off and Chanderpaul tried to lazily work it to the on side and gets a leading edge back to the bowler. Chanders out after accumulating 166. He was hit on the helmet by a Steyn bouncer and then responded superbly yesterday. Today, he chose to bat cautiously.S Chanderpaul c & b Harris 166 (357b 10x4 1x6) SR: 46.49

Ramdin goes and the criticism rains down!! If you're a Ramdin friend or family member avoid cc.com.
Tsotsobe to Ramdin, out Caught by Petersen!! another one! short and wide outside off stump, he could have hit it anywhere in the ground, but cuts it straight to Petersen at backward point, yet another failure for Ramdin. Ramdin c Petersen b Tsotsobe 1(4)
153.2 Tsotsobe to Ramdin, OUT, And Ramdin has failed on this track. What do you do? Short and wide and he cut it straight to backward point. Oh well.D Ramdin c Petersen b Tsotsobe 1 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 25.00

Bravo goes. Nicks one through to the keeper. Replays inconclusive but Bravo doesn't challenge it.
Harris to Dwayne Bravo, out Caught by Boucher!! another epic innings comes to an end! it was a tossed up delivery on middle and turning away, Dwayne Bravo went for the expansive drive, was probably trying to play it too square, but ends up edging it back to Boucher, who takes a sharp catch. Dwayne Bravo c Boucher b Harris 53(215) [4s-4 6s-1]
162.6 Harris to Bravo, OUT, And he falls after the slow crawl. He leans forward to play the cover drive and edges it to Boucher. The wheels are coming offDJ Bravo c †Boucher b Harris 53 (215b 4x4 1x6) SR: 24.65

Shillingford goes now.
Kallis to Shillingford, out Caught by de Villiers!! 50th Test wicket against WI!, it was a back of a length delivery outside off and it was moving away slightly, Shillingford pokes at it leaden-footedly and the outside edge is easily snaffled by ABD at 2nd slip, the wheels are coming off now. Shillingford c de Villiers b Kallis 7(35) [4s-1]
163.6 Kallis to Shillingford, OUT, from round the stumps, angled across Shilly who guides it straight to second slip. West Indies slip further. Shilly was trying to get the bat out of the way but was too late in doing soS Shillingford c de Villiers b Kallis 7 (35b 1x4 0x6) SR: 20.00

DROPPED!!!
165.4 Kallis to Benn, no run, dropped!, very uncharacteristic from ABD, it was short of length delivery angled across Benn, he slashes hard and gets a bottom edge, which flew quickly towards 2nd slip, but ABD fluffed a simple catch
65.4 Kallis to Benn, no run, Dropped by AB villiers at second slip,. It was short and outside off, Benn slashed it of the outer edge chest-high to AB who couldn't hold on.

Rampaul goes. Caught by Boucher bowled by Morkel.
179.5 Morkel to Rampaul, OUT, Entertainment ends. From Rampaul at least. Victim no 500 for Boucher and he is congratulated by his team-mates. It was the short delivery outside off and Rampaul edged the cut. No other keeper has touched that landmark. Ever. Boucher stands alone. A special moment.R Rampaul c †Boucher b Morkel 31 (54b 3x4 0x6) SR: 57.40
Morkel to Rampaul, out Caught by Boucher!! short of length delivery outside off, bowled with the cross seam, Rampaul makes room and looks to cut, gets a top edge to Boucher who takes a sinple catch, this is Boucher's 500th Test dismissal, the highest by any keeper!! Rampaul c Boucher b Morkel 31(54) [4s-3]
