| AJ Strauss* | c Clarke b Johnson | 30 | 90 | 60 | 4 | 0 | 50.00 |
| 19.6 and the bouncer does the trick! It's a quick one and right on line, Strauss can't get out of the way and the ball clearly takes his gloves and flies up in the air, Clarke runs back from the cordon to take a simple chance 67/2
|
| AN Cook | c Hussey b Hilfenhaus | 10 | 31 | 25 | 0 | 0 | 40.00 |

|
| RS Bopara | c Hughes b Johnson | 35 | 76 | 52 | 6 | 0 | 67.30 |
| 24.4 and the slower ball does the trick! Johnson runs the fingers over this one and Bopara is committed to the drive, he mistimes it horribly and lobs it up for a simple catch to Hughes at point 90/3
|
| KP Pietersen | c Katich b Hauritz | 69 | 196 | 141 | 4 | 0 | 48.93 |

|
| PD Collingwood | c †Haddin b Hilfenhaus | 64 | 150 | 145 | 6 | 0 | 44.13 |

|
| MJ Prior† | b Siddle | 56 | 99 | 62 | 6 | 0 | 90.32 |

|
| A Flintoff | b Siddle | 37 | 66 | 51 | 6 | 0 | 72.54 |

|
| JM Anderson | c Hussey b Hauritz | 26 | 69 | 40 | 2 | 0 | 65.00 |
| 102.4 down the pitch and he tries to lift him over mid-on but he can't - an easy catch for Hussey who jumps back and swallows it 423/9

| AJ Strauss* | c †Haddin b Hauritz | 17 | 78 | 54 | 1 | 0 | 31.48 |
| 16.6 Hauritz strikes! A shortish ball again, Strauss tries to repeat the square cut and it bounces a fraction more, all he gets on it is a thin top-edge that Brad Haddin gloves nicely 46/4
|
| AN Cook | lbw b Johnson | 6 | 17 | 12 | 1 | 0 | 50.00 |
| 4.3 gone! Straight ball this time, no movement in the air or off the pitch, Cook quite simply misses the ball and is trapped dead in front. Aleem Dar sticks up the finger at world-record pace 13/1

| 5.3 and Hilfenhaus strikes! Hilfenhaus pitches it in line and it moves away a fraction, striking Bopara on the top flap of the pad. Doctrove sends him on his way. 17/2
|
| KP Pietersen | b Hilfenhaus | 8 | 20 | 24 | 0 | 0 | 33.33 |
| 10.4 oh KP what have you done! That's an awful piece of judgment as Hilfenhaus pitches one on off, it doesn't move off the line, Pietersen leaves it alone and has his off stump knocked out of the ground. 31/3
|
| PD Collingwood | c Hussey b Siddle | 74 | 344 | 245 | 6 | 0 | 30.20 |
| 93.3 he's dropped him, has he? Parries it - no he's caught him! Collingwood is out! He went back, trying to force it off the back foot but edged it high to Hussey at gully who parried it above his head, and he clung on the second time 233/9
|
| MJ Prior† | c Clarke b Hauritz | 14 | 37 | 32 | 1 | 0 | 43.75 |
| 26.3 Hauritz again! This one bounces more, and turns, and Prior tries for that late-cut that he likes, but the extra bounce does him in and the edge is snapped up well by Clarke at slip diving to his right 70/5
|
| A Flintoff | c Ponting b Johnson | 26 | 89 | 71 | 3 | 0 | 36.61 |
| 49.4 got him! Flintoff prods forward meekly and weakly to one which just held its line and it just carries to Ponting, low at second slip 127/6
|
| SCJ Broad | lbw b Hauritz | 14 | 61 | 47 | 1 | 0 | 29.78 |
| 66.4 gone! This one skidded through somewhat pitching on off and going on with the arm, Broad can't get bat on ball, and he is comprehensively plumb 159/7
|
| GP Swann | lbw b Hilfenhaus | 31 | 73 | 63 | 4 | 0 | 49.20 |
| 86.1 gone! He's got him! A straight delivery on middle-and-off, too full to pull and Swann's trapped in front - kept a little low and that's plumb 221/8
