8:22 PM
6:36 PM Well a sea-saw day all told, ball dominating bat again early on before the wicket seem to flatten out, the Dutch tail getting them to a decent 304 to defend before Siaka's breakneck innings wiped out their good work. Two late breakthroughs for the Dutch including the crucial wicket of Siaka to close the day mean 16 wickets again have fallen (as VRA's Mitch Lees again predicted), and leaves the game interestingly poised. Rain on the way now and it remains to be seen how the track will behave tomorrow, but Siaka's put the visitors back in the game.
