Steyn to Perera, OUT, five for Steyn! You absolute beauty! Points to the dressing room where Allan Donald is clapping heartily!

New ball due in 4 overs time... wonder if we will take it immediately?

This old ball is reversing and Steyn is proving why is the top bowler in the world.

Then again, another two overs and his spell will be over. Philander will come on and the new ball will be taken.

Matthews doing his best to avoid the follow on ... 6 fours in 2 overs (5 in one Morkel over)

Probably because they are going to take the new ball soon, so they could waste it

Maybe they are saving the new ball for tomorrow morning when they are all fresh?

If we can get anything more than a 100 lead I will be happy. I also hope we get to bat from early tomorrow as the pitch should really start breaking up late on day 4 and I can not imagen wanting to bat at that time.

Imran Tahir to Mathews, OUT, goes for a slog sweep and the ball sneaks under his bat to clatter into his stumps. Tahir is over the moon. Gets a pat on the back from Herath, but walks off shaking his head. Wonderful innings from Mathews
AD Mathews b Imran Tahir 89 (182b 14x4 1x6) SR: 48.90

272/8
