1.4 1.4 RP Singh to Smith, out Caught by Karthik!! pitched up, Smith looks to drive it through coers, big outside edge and a stunning catch by Karthik at second slip diving to his left, sensationaly catch, he took the catch airborne, this should really lift the Indian team Smith c Karthik b RP Singh 4(6) 12/2

2.3 2.3 Sreesanth to de Villiers, out Lbw!! it didnt cost India much that decision, this one is blowled yorker length, de Villiers looks to work it towards the onside, rapped on the pads and this Taufel has no doubt whatsoever de Villiers lbw b Sreesanth 1(4) 12/3

17.4 17.4 Harbhajan to Philander, out Stumped!! bowls the arm outside off or rather the doosra, Philander comes down the track but is nowhere near the ball and Karthik whips the bails in a flash, can the Proteas qualify now Philander st Karthik b Harbhajan 2(5) 103/7
