The latter started picking up the boundaries at regular intervals and the duo went past the hundred runs partnership in the 41^st over.

Brad Haddin was caught by Kieran Powell off Kemar Roach for 43 from 45 deliveries with 5 fours at 193 in 41.3 overs. James Faulkner associated with Voges and they were scoring the boundaries continuously.

The next wicket went down 16 runs later as Kieron Pollard walked in the center and Charles maintained his rythm at the other end.

The Aussies bowlers took over from there as the wickets kept on crumbling. Pollard was the seventh batsman who went back to the pavilion for 45 off 62 with 1 six and 2 fours.
