    Bracken to Ntini
    Australia win by 83 runs. Yorker on the off stump line, Ntini tries to get his bat down but the ball beats the bat and the furniture is disturbed. HRG chimes in with a timely stat. Ponting becomes the most successful captain in ODI history. This is win no 108, besting Border's record.

    slower one. Ntini is beaten in the air but goes through with the stroke and shovels it through mid-off

    Bracken to Ntini
    Hello?! Ntini creams that one. Fullish, outside off stump and drilled past the bowler and to the long-off boundary.

    45.2
    W
    Bracken to Langeveldt
    Bracken joins in the party. The slower one does the trick. Full in length, lands on the middle stump line, and breaks away towards the off stump. Langeveldt tries to run it down to third man, misses and the off stump is pegged back. Australia are just a wicket away from a big win.
