Muralitharan to Collingwood, OUT, that's the world record and it's so simple a dismissal ... Collingwood plays down the wrong line and the ball clips the top of middle and off stumps, sparking celebrations in the middle, dancing in the stands and firecrackers are set off all over the place. Somebody in the crowd has thought ahead and prepared a poster with Murali smiling above the numbers 709. You can't match his grin out there now, though. © Getty Images .

83.2 Malinga to Sidebottom, OUT, a big nick, Prasanna Jayawardene takes a good catch low down, Sidebottom stands his ground as he is uncertain if it carried, as he is entitled to ... the two officials chat and then Rauf raises his finger, for once without referring to the third umpire. The only doubt was if it carried as there was a thick edge, and replays show it was a clean take © Getty Images . This image may not be reproduced without specific consent from Getty Images
