M Morkel to Jayawardene, OUT, holy cow! Is that a plane? is that Jonty Rhodes? No, that's Dale Steyn! Morne angles a length ball into Mahela's pads, and it is there to be helped along to fine leg. Mahela makes very good connection as he moves inside the line and whip-glances. Steyn is inside the circle at short file leg. He moves to his left, takes off and plucks it when he's nearly fully horizontal, with both hands. Shades of McGrath's catch of Vaughan in Adelaide, many years ago in the Ashes. Who said fast bowlers can't field. Superb take!
DPMD Jayawardene c Steyn b M Morkel 19 (26b 1x4 0x6) SR: 73.07

Kula off Steyn
38.5
Steyn to KMDN Kulasekara, FOUR
38.4
Steyn to KMDN Kulasekara, no run
38.3
Steyn to KMDN Kulasekara, SIX, whoa, proof that if you keep swinging, you will eventually connect with one! Kula gets under a length ball and absolute destroys it over midwicket. Bashed the core out of that one, an utter slamdunk of a stroke, that.
38.2
Steyn to KMDN Kulasekara, FOUR, Kula's getting reverse swing with the bat now. He backs away to a short, pacy ball angling in and has no room to do anything but tonk-waft in hope. The ball somehow takes the outside edge and goes between keeper and wide slip. Steyn is livid.

Kula gets out at deep long on trying another six
39.5
Tsotsobe to KMDN Kulasekara, OUT, You thought that Steyn catch was a classic? Petersen says hang on, I have some more entertainment. Kula goes back and looks for another straight loft, but doesn't time it that well. Robin is inside the circle at mid-on, and runs back half the way from East London to London proper, looking back over his right shoulder all the time. He then lunges full length forward towards the ropes and the ball tumbles into his palms as he sprawls. South Africa - setting high fielding standards since 1992, only to raise the bar soon after.
KMDN Kulasekara c Peterson b Tsotsobe 22 (13b 2x4 2x6) SR: 169.23
