Wickets needed on day two in JHB:
Durban – The Hollywoodbets Dolphins will be seeking some early wickets on day two of their CSA 4-Day Domestic Series match with the Imperial Lions at Imperial Wanderers after being bowled out on the first day on Monday.
The Dolphins managed to win the toss and took first strike at the Bull Ring, however they never managed to get a significant partnership together throughout the innings that ended on 235.
Unfortunately for the Dolphins there were a number of starts throughout the order but no one was able to push on to register that magic hundred that would have helped them into a strong position on day one.
Captain for the match Marques Ackerman registered yet another half century when he top scored with 61 off 122 deliveries.
Opener Jason Oakes got past 30 before he was caught for 38.
