11.6
Wiese to Uthappa, out Caught by Jordan!! Gone! But Uthappa has done the damage, a stunning knock from him comes to an end. The bowling change has done the trick. back of a length ball outside off, Uthappa stands tall and flat-bats it towards wide long-on. Jordan is stationed there and he is one of the best fielders in the game. He watches it nicely, steadies himself and jumps a bit to take a good catch to his right, made it look so easy. Is this the opening the visitors needed? Uthappa c Jordan b Wiese 79(46) [4s-10 6s-2]
