2.2

 Franklin to Levi, OUT, Levi is gone! Tried to repeat the shot but the ball was fractionally  closer to middle and he didn't get as much bat on it, Nicol running  round from midwicket races around towards deep backward square and takes  an outstanding catch low while sliding  




 **RE Levi c Nicol b Franklin 11 (7b 1x4 1x6) SR: 157.14  **

2.1

 Franklin to Levi, SIX, starts with a loose ball on leg and Levi hits his first half-a-dozen of  the night with a muscular flick over the backward square boundary  

Here is a surprise, another left-arm fast bowler comes on, James Franklin it is

Albie Morkel is in at three, presumably to make better use of him and to introduce aleft-right combination at the crease

South Africa 23/1 (3/20 ov)

5.2

 Hira to Amla, SIX, tossed up outside off inviting Amla to attack, Amla obliges and hits a  quality inside-out cover drive with power over the cover boundary  

5.1

 Hira to Amla, FOUR, that is very full outside off and Amla waits to square drive through point and it races away to the boundary  

Hira is back

Hira to Amla, no run, well, Guptill has dropped a tough chance, Amla sliced the drive to the left of Guptill who never got his hands in the right place and spilt it

 Nicol to Ontong, OUT, oh goodness me! First things first, Ontong went for a big swing to a  ball spinning in from outsude off, hit him on the thigh on leg and he  was given out lbw, in the meantime he has a Mark Richardson moment and  the bat flies out of his hand like a discus down to fine leg!
