Pollock took the wickets of Herschelle Gibbs (0), Graeme Smith (2) andAndrew Puttick (9) to set the Dolphins up for a thrilling finish tomorrow.Mfuneko Ngam, after his injury scare on the first day, once again could notcomplete his overs, as he struggled with his shoulder injury to take twowickets. At close WPBOL had slumped to 115 for 7, with Ashwell Prince on47, a lead of only 73 going into the last day. To add to their woes JPDuminy, breaking his finger while fielding, had already left for CapeTown, effectively leaving them at eight down, and Jacques Kallis may notdo too much bowling as he battles his way through a thigh strain.3rd day

Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsThe batting paradise at SuperSport Park ensured that the game betweenthe Titans and Eagles was destined for a draw. There was someencouragement in the batting department with Davey Jacobs’s 149 stillbeing spoken about, while Boeta Dippenaar continued his early-season formwith a sparkling hundred. For the bowlers it was hard work, as only 17 wickets fell while 934 runs were scored in the first three days. Maybe it is time to end the preparation of bowler-friendly pitches and teach the bowlers how to bowl on flat beds. Congratulationsto the ground staff in Centurion.
