35.4 Morkel to Ponting, FOUR
35.3 Morkel to Ponting, 2 runs, brings Ponting onto the front foot again, defending and edging past gully
35.2 Morkel to Ponting, no run, pitched up outside off stump and Ponting shoulders arms
Its been a massive spell of swing from Morkel and Ponting's quixotic innings continues.
35.1 Morkel to Ponting, no run, oh well bowled, and the first referral of the innings! Morkel's superb spell continues, he pitches one on the dime and moves it back in sharply, a tentative Ponting thrusts forward and is late on the shot, there's noise as the ball cuts back in and goes on, Boucher takes at a good height and they all appeal ... Billy Bowden is unmoved and Smith asks for it to be referred ... and replays indicate the ball brushed Ponting's back thigh pad ... not out is the verdict, South Africa use up a referral, and Ponting survives
