Dolphins vs Warriors, 3rd Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

A Birch to Robbie Frylinck, out Caught by Jonker!! And he gets another. Frylinck looks to back away and makes room for the lofted drive, in rather extravagant fashion over the covers. Dooesn't get the timing right and miscues it in the air to extra cover, who runs behind and safely pouches it. Robbie Frylinck c Jonker b A Birch 23(14) [6s-2]

A Birch to Craig Alexander, out Bowled!! The sucker delivery comes up as expected and it yields instant results. Full, in the blockhole and 'You miss I hit' stuff. Alexander just cannot jam his bat down in time and has to watch his stumps being uprooted. Backs away looking for the room but there was only one way the ball was headed. Craig Alexander b A Birch 7(5) [6s-1]

A Birch to Craig Alexander, SIX, Alexander now joins the party. These two have been giving the much needed impetus to this innings. There is only one way Alexander can play and this time he does it with the help of a full bat swing to loft just over the reach of a leaping fielder at long-on

Magala to Robbie Frylinck, SIX, another maximum. Dishes in another length delivery, just not the ideal medicine at this stage and Frylinck this time tonks it over cow corner. Even bigger

Magala to Robbie Frylinck, SIX, much needed. Just the injection of momentum this innings needed and it is Frylinck showing the way. A length delivery yes but it still had to be put away. Frylinck banishes it with utter disdain as he lofts it to tonk it over square leg

Solo Nqweni to C Chetty, out Caught by Ingram!! The leg-cutter now does the trick. Brings to an end a pretty troubled, rather ugly innings from Chetty. Sees the fullish length outside off and goes hard on the slice, gets it off the outer half of the bat thanks to the away nip and carries to extra cover for the simplest of takes. Dolphins in deep deep trouble. C Chetty c Ingram b Solo Nqweni 24(27) [4s-1]

Ackermann to Phehlukwayo, out Caught&Bowled!! Everyone's stunnd. How did that stick in? Takes a couple of seconds for Ackermann too to have the feeling sink in. A fullish delivery and hit firmly in the air without bothering to keep it down. To the right of the bowler, who merely on instainct sticks his right hand out and watches the ball grab it. A classic case of opposite magnets! Phehlukwayo c and b Ackermann 13(13) [4s-1 6s-1]

BD Walters to Phehlukwayo, SIX, just not the ideal delivery at this stage. Banged in half way down the ground and it barely rises. Gives Phehlukwayo all the time and the momentum to fire up and whack it over deep square leg. A fierce maximum

Smuts to Phehlukwayo, FOUR, and now he gets out the reverse sweep. Fetches this delivery from well outside off and gets right to the pitch of the ball with his connection and deposits this behind square off a crossed bat

Solo Nqweni to K Nipper, out Caught by Jonker!! What is going on? Just when a batsman seems to have found his rhythm after weathering out the tough period, he throws it away too. For sure it was the earlier delivery where he missed out on a full toss weighing on his minds as Nipper jumps down the ground to a slower ball without bothering to read it and ends up chipping it meekly in the air to mid-off, who has the simplest of catches to gobble up. Another instance of the bat turing in the hand doing the trick. K Nipper c Jonker b Solo Nqweni 20(25) [4s-2]

Solo Nqweni to C Chetty, FOUR, and the lack of a slip yields a boundary. Catches Chetty chasing a delivery outside off and gets the edge that runs away through that vacant cordon all the wayb into the fence

Smuts to van Wyk, out Lbw!! It took an eternity but the finger goes up eventually. Brings about and end to van Wyk's threatening innings. A meek defence off the front foot to bring about his downfall too. Lunges forward on a knee looking to keep the ball out with the turn on offer. Straightens on with the arm and gets it right on the pad. Plumb in front of middle and there was only one way the ball was heading. van Wyk lbw b Smuts 22(20) [4s-3]

Smuts to van Wyk, FOUR, another full dart down leg and this time van Wyk has ferociously drilled his sweep to perfection. Swivels on his back knee and brooms it all the way into the fence

Magala to K Nipper, FOUR, the shot of the day! Uses the width and all of Magala's pace to open his bat face and steer it down behind point. That's all he had to do for the timing on this one did the rest

A Birch to K Nipper, FOUR, finally an err in the line and Nipper takes full toll of it. Sees the half volley outside off and uses the width to free his arms to execute a mighty swing and dispatch it into the fence at sweeper

Magala to van Jaarsveld, out Bowled!! The cart-wheeling of stumps. Can there ever be a better sight on the planet for a quick bowler? And he has to thank Jaarsveld for this dismissal. With his feet going nowhere, he surprisingly looks to go for the hoick across the line and in the process leaves a massive gap between his bat and pad for the ball to zip its way through and send his leg-stick on a tumbling walk. The Dolphins digging a hole now for themselves. van Jaarsveld b Magala 1(6)

A Birch to van Wyk, 1 run, to cover point

BD Walters to van Wyk, FOUR

BD Walters to van Wyk, FOUR A freebie on the pads to welcome the new man. All van Wyk had to do was get behind the line with ihs initial trigger and tickle it on its way to help it into the long leg fence. Firt boundary of the day

BD Walters to Zondo, out Caught by Jonker!! Zondo c Jonker b BD Walters 0(5)

A Birch to Delport, out Caught&Bowled!! Delport c and b A Birch 1(4)
