146.5 Broad to Vaas, OUT, another one falls to a short delivery, banged in, Vaas tries to hook but gets his timing wrong and the ball loops off the back of the glove/wristband to slip. Vaas stands his ground but Broad is already celebrating his first Test wicket•Getty Images

143.2 Panesar to DPMD Jayawardene, OUT, he tries to repeat the slog over midwicket from the previous over but gets a big top edge and the ball goes a long way up and Collingwood at first slip just has to wait for gravity to do its job•Getty Images
