Australia 1st innings 280 all out
Lunch Day 2: CW XI 1/89
Tea Day 2: CW XI 2/184
The game is evenly poised as we head into the second day of this crucial 3rd Test match.
7.2 Gillespie to Mørk: finally! First run for the CW wicketkeeper-batsman. He failed to score off the first 25, but he gets a single to long leg with his 26th! The crowd goes wild.
End of 14th over.
Clark is set to bowl for the first time in this match. His 4-wicket haul in the 2nd Test turned the game decisively for Australia in some ways, though the CW XI held on for the drawn result.
14.1 Clark to Mamesh: defended to the gully... no run.
16.2 Clark to Mamesh: pitched up and SLAMMED back over the bowler's head. No-nonsense cricket from Mamesh there.
Shane Warne gets the ball now. As always, this is a key moment in the innings.
19.1 Warne to Mamesh: legbreak... pushed off the backfoot to the gap in the covers and they scamper a single.
22.6 Clark to Mamesh: short and PULLED away! This young man looks a great talent. FOUR!
24.6 Clark to Mamesh: DRIVEN MAGNIFICENTLY through the offside! What a shot! FOUR more!
End of 26th over.
Symonds to bowl now. He played a loose shot to get out with the bat, so hopefully he will justify his selection better with the ball.
26.6 Symonds to Mørk: calmly forward and a perfect defensive stroke. Maiden over.
27.6 Warne to Mamesh: swept away... fifty for Mamesh! Exceptional innings here, and even the home crowd appreciates it.
T Mamesh 50 (69 balls), 5 fours, 0 sixes
28.1 Symonds to Mørk: flicked to the legside and Lee gathers quickly... DIRECT HIT! This could be tight for Mamesh. The third umpire reviews it...
RED LIGHT!
33.6 Lee to Mørk: about time! Cut away and that's the first boundary for Mørk in this innings.
36.5 Warne to Mørk: he goes for the sweep and missed - HOWZHE?! That's good enough for Bucknor. OUT!
38.6 Lee to Cloete: SLAMMED over midwicket and that's gone all the way for SIX!
53.3 Clark to Goff: leaning into the ball and driving pleasantly to beat cover point - FOUR!
53.5 Clark to Goff: PULLED away with some THUNDER! That's a tremendous stroke for FOUR.
61.6 Gillespie to Goff: flicked away with precise timing! That's FOUR and his half-century. The captain continues in top form!
BJ Goff 50 (111 balls), 4 fours, 0 sixes
63.6 Gillespie to Cloete: pushed to the legside and they take an easy single... and that's tea. The CW XI in a position of strength.
64.2 Symonds to Cloete: DROPPED! The simplest of chances at point. That was a loose shot by Cloete, but he gets away with it. How crucial will that be?
68.5 Symonds to Cloete: on-drive... fine stroke that. It will just reach the ropes.
69.3 Warne to Cloete: GONE! He's lost his legstump! That was a tremendous delivery from Shane Warne. He turns the game again. Now this could get really interesting...
69.6 Warne to Goff: cut past point and FOUR! Goff not changing his game plan at all.
72.2 Symonds to Goff: SWATTED over midon and that's FOUR more runs to the skipper.

Oh well, at least I ground out and stuck in. No more middle order collapses, please...
This sucks. But Cloete and Goff sure to produce the goods like they can.
