Smith gone. 1/15 as Tuffey gets the edge.

Well, the umpire thought so and that's all there is to it really.

Snicko confirms the umpy's decision. Very Happy

Kallis's 150 brightens last day

The Wisden Bulletin by Rahul Bhatia

Soon after tea, Jacques Kallis got to 150, prompting a declaration by South Africa. It gave New Zealand a rather stiff target of 264 in 23 overs.

New Zealand played out 16 overs and scored 39 for 1 before the match was declared a draw. Using his cut shot to good effect, Brendon McCullum played aggressively for his 19 not out. But Michael Papps (12) succumbed to Andre Nel, nicking the ball to Mark Boucher - Nel's first success of the match.
