And, when skipper Murray Goodwin turned to left-arm spinner Monty Panesar, his four overs cost 30 runs, including a horrible full toss which Malan pulled out of the ground and into an adjoining garden for six, forcing the umpires to change the ball.
Mike Hussey (49) and Brad Haddin (31) were able to stage a partial recovery, while skipper Vettori was the model of economy - his 10 overs of left-arm spin yielding just 22 runs.
