Pathan to Patel, OUT, Akmal's missed a stumping! But no he's caught
it! Parthiv charges down the pitch and Yusuf fires in a flat and fast
ball, Parthiv decides to run the ball towards third man but gets an edge
to Akmal who fumbles the catch initially but then dives to his right to
take the rebound, sharp effort, and I thought he had missed a stumping
initially!. |

Pathan to Morkel, OUT, caught! But two fielders are hurt! Morkel
tries to go over deep midwicket again top-edges a flat and fast ball on
middle and off, the ball goes in the air behind the wicketkeeper, Akmal
turns around and goes for the catch, Kaif also runs in from short fine
leg, Akmal takes the catch but then Kaif slides and crashes into Akmal's
knees rugby style, Akmal did superbly to hold on to it because the impact
was hard, both fielders lie on the ground.

Watson to Raina, OUT, caught! Big wicket that! Watson gave Raina the
full ball outside off, Raina waited on the back foot, got under it and
smashed the ball towards long off, he didn't get enough distance this time
and Jadeja took a simple catch on the boundary, Warne is pumped

Ntini to Kamran Akmal, FOUR, cheeky, he's walked across the stumps and
whipped that past short fine leg for four, he knew both the fine leg and
square leg were in the circle and chose his shot well

Muralitharan to Pathan, 2 runs, Raina's dropped it! Yusuf went after
Murali and tried to loft him over deep midwicket, he hit it extremely high
between midwicket and mid-on, Raina ran to his left from midwicket to try
and get under the steepler, he fumbles the first attempt, barely manages
to hold on on the second but as his hands hit the ground the ball falls
out

Muralitharan to Pathan, SIX, this is bigger! Yusuf charges again and
uses all his muscle to swing the bat with a mighty follow through, he
connects well and the ball flies into the first tier at long on, simply
tremendous

Gony to Pathan, no run, dropped again but it was a tough chance,
Yusuf tries to pull a short of a length ball from outside off and
flat-bats it towards Gony's left, the ball is traveling quickly and
bounces off Gony's outstretched hand, those either stick or they don't

Ntini to Warne, FOUR, Warney! He backs away to a good length ball and
smacks it with terrific hand-eye co-ordination through covers for four,
superb placement for there was a fielder in the deep but the ball was hit
to his right

Balaji to Sohail Tanvir, 2 wides, what has he done! Balaji has bowled
a wide outside off stump, Tanvir lets it go and Parthiv fails to collect
cleanly and the batsmen run, that's two runs without a legal delivery
being bowled
