| 151.4 | OUT | Hilfenhaus to Morne Morkel, out Caught by Siddle!! Hilfenhaus has cleaned up the tail. Full and outside off, Morkel hits through the line, straight to Siddle at mid off. Morne Morkel c Siddle b Hilfenhaus 0(6) | 450/9 |
| 150.3 | DROPPED | Lyon to Kleinveldt, 1 run, tossed up on middle, Kleinveldt has a swing at that, gets a top edge which goes high in the air. Cowan at midwicket gets under it, the ball keeps swirling and he drops it as it comes down. | 449/8 |
| 150 | OUT | Hilfenhaus to Steyn, out Caught by Wade!! This was on the cards. Full and outside the leg stump, Steyn had made a lot of room, drove at it and got an outside edge, easy catch taken by Wade. Steyn c Wade b Hilfenhaus 15(41) [4s-2] | 446/8 |
| 148.5 | SIX | Lyon to Kleinveldt, SIX, tossed up on middle, Kleinveldt goes deep and smacks it over long on, Mr Cricket watches it sail over his head. | 446/7 |
| 148.4 | SIX | Lyon to Kleinveldt, SIX, swings hard at that, he connects well enough to just clear the man at the deep midwicket boundary. | 440/7 |
| 147.1 | FOUR | Hilfenhaus to Steyn, FOUR, fab shot! Hilfenhaus pitched this one up and on middle, Steyn gets forward and drives it sweetly back past the bowler and into the ropes | 434/7 |

| 136.3 | FOUR | Steyn to Wade, FOUR, very good shot from Wade, it was a half volley outside off and Wade smashes it right in the gap through extra cover | 556/5 |
| 135.3 | FOUR | Kleinveldt to Wade, FOUR, short and wide outside off, Wade cuts it intentionally upwards and gets it well over point for another boundary | 549/5 |
| 135.2 | FOUR | Kleinveldt to Wade, FOUR, full and outside off. Wade smashes it hard down the ground and almost took out Kleinveldt with it. He gets his first boundary | 545/5 |
| 133 | FOUR | Steyn to Michael Clarke, FOUR, that will hurt Steyn's ego. Clarke has slapped a full delivery over Steyn's head for another boundary that takes him past 250 as well | 539/5 |
| 132.5 | FOUR | Steyn to Michael Clarke, FOUR, very straight now, Clarke lofts it handsomely between deep mid wicket and long for a boundary | 535/5 |
| 130.1 | OUT | Morne Morkel to Michael Hussey, out Caught by (sub)du Plessis!! Hussey falls finally and Morne Morkel gets some just rewards. Excellent catch by du Plessis too. Hussey was looking to drive on the up but du Plessis takes a smart low catch at short extra cover. End of a very fine innings. Michael Hussey c (sub)du Plessis b Morne Morkel 100(129) [4s-13] | 527/5 |

| 63 | OUT | Lyon to Rudolph, out Lbw!! Some drama towards the end of this Test match, can we have some twist here? It was pushed through quicker, Rudolph was playing for the turn, but this one came straight-on and Rudolph was struck on the back pad, huge appeal and Rauf raises his finger immediately, Rudolph reviews, but replays suggest he was struck in line with the stumps and it would have hit the off and the middle stump. Rudolph lbw b Lyon 11(36) | 165/5 |
| 56.5 | FOUR | Lyon to de Villiers, FOUR, tossed up delivery on the stumps, de Villiers comes down the track and lofts it over the fielder to mid wicket | 156/4 |
| 53.3 | FOUR | James Pattinson to de Villiers, FOUR, he's on the attack now, still on the shorter side, enough width for de Villiers to stand on his toes and slap it to sweeper cover fence | 151/4 |
| 53.2 | FOUR | James Pattinson to de Villiers, FOUR, he's dispatched it with utter disdain, short again and it sits up well for the pull, de Villiers rocks back and muscles it away to deep mid wicket | 147/4 |
| 51.3 | FOUR | Siddle to de Villiers, FOUR, lovely shot from de Villiers, overpitched and in the slot, de Villiers gets to the pitch of the ball and drills it between extra cover and long off | 139/4 |
| 48.5 | OUT | Lyon to Kallis, out Caught by Michael Clarke!! Kallis falls for 49, is there hope for Australia? This was tossed up from round the wicket and spins away slightly, extra bounce for Lyon. Kallis was pushing forward, gets a thick outside edge that is well held by Clarke diving to his right. South Africa have lost half their side and are just 14 runs ahead. Kallis c Michael Clarke b Lyon 49(91) [4s-5 6s-1] | 129/4 |
