It's on at 10:30pm tonight and supposedly Graeme Smith is back for South Africa and Jacques Kallis will miss the match due to injury.

Mark Waugh; you know where he stands with Paul Harris! "He would not get 9 wickets in a Grade Match" and Gavin Robertson asks what was the last Test then. Waugh replies "Well, we were giving him wickets - they were just hitting the ball in the air"

And then when he demonstrates his deliveries "they're just flight balls"

Mark Waugh and Robertson should be in the commentary box; the Morkels as the "seafood brothers".

Batting line up as it stands:

Haddin
Clarke
Ponting
D.Hussey
M.Hussey
Ferguson
Hopes
Johnson
Hauritz
Bracken
Laughlin

Ferg has gone up a spot!

South Africa:

Smith
Gibbs
Amla
de Villiers
Duminy
Boucher
A.Morkel
Botha
M.Morkel
Steyn
Ntini

Clarke is already back in the pavillion, 1/2.

Bloody hell Clarke, you were meant to at least take the shine off the ball for my fantasy skipper Dick Ponting! Still, plenty of time to build an innings? Hopefully!

Meanwhile, how's Big Merv in the com box??!! What's going on there?

I reakon Merv is the right bloke to have in there first up; he bowled some good swingers in his career.

Haddin liking the uneducated edge to 3rd man at the moment off Steyn... Bit of swing out there for the former game park resident.

No doubt mate, it just took me by surprise that's all! I'm not sure if I've ever heard him commentate before.

I'm with you, I was thinking "Is that Merv" and you wouldn't picture him as a commentator with his jovial nature. But he's alright at it and good to hear an Aussie in there, too.

Yes, they've been few and far between on this tour! Only been getting the Aussie point of view in the breaks in play, a la Junior Waugh and his love of Paul Harris' work! He's right though, batsmen making mistakes is his go.

Quite a few different commentators here, like Merv Hughes, I've never heard Courtney Walsh in a commentators role until now. Greg Blewett is there, too.

dave hussey run out! shockin call and i think that was a very harsh by haddin just turning his back!!!! disgraceful!!!!!!!!!!

3/107 off 20.3 overs now

This will be the Fergs' time to shine here; he will get more of a shot in this innings than before.

scores?

3/113 after 21.

Tit for tat! Haddin run out by Mike!

That was funny from Boucher, in one motion he broke the wicket at his end and was looking for the run out at the other end.

Last 5 overs 2/17

Botha 5 overs 0/19 (what is the spell that this man has over the Aussies?)
