No lit bails here, but the fielders gather in celebration 45/324 edged, and this time no mistake! Puttick dives to his right and snatches it just off the ground with both hands. 66/433.1 nicks off and walks away, slowly, but did not wait for the umpire at least 90/535.1 gets that to pitch and straighten, and that is out says Mr Jerling 96/635.3 hits the off stump, and hendricks claims his 100th FC wicket 96/751.2 another wicket for the demon leg spinner, as Savage makes an awful has of a sweep; the ball going straight on to hit off stump 148/858.1 on the drive, but nicked to 2nd slip and Hendricks takes five for the first time at this level. 174/10Extras11 (lb 7, nb 4)TOTAL174 all out (58.1 Overs, RR: 2.99, 245 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-32 (Imraan Khan, 10.1 ov), 2-42 (Jonathan Vandiar, 14.5 ov), 3-45 (Vaughn van Jaarsveld, 16.2 ov), 4-66 (Khaya Zondo, 23.6 ov), 5-90 (Cody Chetty, 33.1 ov), 6-96 (Daryn Smit, 35.1 ov), 7-96 (Kyle Abbott, 35.3 ov), 8-148 (Calvin Savage, 51.2 ov), 9-169 (Divan van Wyk, 56.4 ov), 10-174 (Keshav Maharaj, 58.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.1 new bowler strikes first ball, thanks to a good diving catch by the keeper, low to his left 21/117.4 on the hook, but a top edge this time and taken above his head by young Savage 72/229 driven firmly but snapped up at short mid wicket 112/329.1 great start for Abbott, ontong pushes forward and a loud noise as he edges to the keeper 112/438.4 clips the pad, but enough to prevent it hitting the stumps says Mr Brown 148/543.1 just like his first spell, he starts with a wicket. A tame pull, but well teken low to his left by Maharaj at mid wicket 169/649 walks in front of off stump and trapped in front, looked to be missing leg but that was perhaps an illusion created by his movement across the stumps 179/749.3 gone first ball as he pushes at one leaving him, drinks 180/852.1 pushed out on the leg side, hesitation and Hendricks is well short as the fielder throws down the stumps 190/954.1 high off the bat, van Jaarsveld leaps high at 2nd slip to comlete the catch 206/10Extras13 (lb 6, nb 6, w 1)TOTAL206 all out (54.1 Overs, RR: 3.8, 251 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Andrew Puttick, 8.1 ov), 2-72 (Alistair Gray, 17.4 ov), 3-112 (Stiaan van Zyl, 28.6 ov), 4-112 (Justin Ontong, 29.1 ov), 5-148 (Qaasim Adams, 38.4 ov), 6-169 (Dane Vilas, 43.1 ov), 7-179 (Justin Kemp, 48.6 ov), 8-180 (Dane Piedt, 49.3 ov), 9-190 (Beuran Hendricks, 52.1 ov), 10-206 (Lizaad Williams, 54.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.1 edged low to 2nd slip, no mistake by Gray; 2 in 2 22/26 cuts in to him late, and this time umpire Brown agrees with the vociferous appeal 22/152.4 another one gone as he pushes forward, Vandiar looks back a moment in disappointment and then trudges off the field 150/76.2 pushes forward and taken behind, van jaarsveld can't believe ti to see the finger being raised, Kemp on a hat-trick 22/312 low to his right, but that was almost like catching practice for the slips as he played off the back foot 33/423.3 pushes forward and gets the edge, players will celebrate with a drink 57/548.5 after so much dogged defence he gives it away, hooking it straight down the throat of Hendricks at fine leg 141/670 tries to run this one away, but the big man Kemp gets down quickly at slip and takes the catch 206/873.4 not much support for Gray as he appeals, but the umpire is satisfied 209/977.5 goes half back and it is thru him before he can get the bat down ripping out the legstump as it nipped back just a hint 214/10Extras9 (b 1, lb 3, nb 4, w 1)TOTAL214 all out (77.5 Overs, RR: 2.74, 313 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Imraan Khan, 5.6 ov), 2-22 (Divan van Wyk, 6.1 ov), 3-22 (Vaughn van Jaarsveld, 6.2 ov), 4-33 (Khaya Zondo, 11.6 ov), 5-57 (Cody Chetty, 23.3 ov), 6-141 (Daryn Smit, 48.5 ov), 7-150 (Jonathan Vandiar, 52.4 ov), 8-206 (Kyle Abbott, 69.6 ov), 9-209 (Calvin Savage, 73.4 ov), 10-214 (Keshav Maharaj, 77.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.5 drawn into one that bounced a little and finds the edge the Dolphins have been searching for 4/17.1 nicks off and Smit takes smartly and with great elation, Dolphins far from out of this one 16/219.2 pulling a shortish one but on this wicket I dont think that wise as it again comes thru slowly and he top edges to mid on a looping dolly of a catch 82/416 holds up in the wicket and the pull finds a leading edge where it loops to Shezi at mid off who gathers as he came in towards the stumps at the non strikers end 71/325.1 cuts at a wide one and only succeeds in getting the edge and guiding it into the hands of van Jaarsveld bringing up Abbott's fifer and deservedly so 116/619.4 trapped in front, all go up as this was full and just held its line 82/529.1 raises the bat leaves, cant say it was a good leave as it clips the top of middle and off 129/736.2 goes back and is trapped in front, Umpire Jerling barely had to raise the finger as Louw just about walked 147/843.2 pitched up and looked just about plumb hitting him half way up in front of middle and off 166/944 drives at one outside off and finds the edge, Smit takes a diving catch and Abbott is elated as they get the wing thanks largely to his efforts 167/10Extras9 (lb 1, nb 8)TOTAL167 all out (44 Overs, RR: 3.79, 217 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Andrew Puttick, 4.5 ov), 2-16 (Alistair Gray, 7.1 ov), 3-71 (Justin Ontong, 15.6 ov), 4-82 (Stiaan van Zyl, 19.2 ov), 5-82 (Dane Vilas, 19.4 ov), 6-116 (Qaasim Adams, 25.1 ov), 7-129 (Justin Kemp, 29.1 ov), 8-147 (Johann Louw, 36.2 ov), 9-166 (Dane Piedt, 43.2 ov), 10-167 (Beuran Hendricks, 43.6 ov)
