Quotes
“Each of the 16 players in the squad is capable. Winning or losing, we will try to get the best combination. The quicker we get the combination the better. Rotation will go much longer than this tour.” South Africa coach Corrie van Zyl

1.5 Parnell to Sehwag, short outside off, slashed off the back foot into the covers where Gibbs slides to his left and intercepts, Tendulkar sets off and gets sent back by a hesitant Sehwag but turns around and looks on as Parnell collects the ball and has plenty of time to break the sticks 10/1 |
