Full on middle, tailing in to the right hander, Ian Bell walks down the track and tries to drive it with an angled bat, he misses and gets struck on the front pad, Steyn appeals for lbw and the umpire raises the index finger.

| 44.1 | OTHER | Parnell to Samit Patel, 1 run, fuller length ball and swinging away outside off, Patel drills it to cover and takes a quick single, maybe Patel was not aware of the free-hit as he ambles through for a single, Elgar misses with the throw at the bowler's end, Patel would have been a goner if that had hit | 196/5 |
