Mohammad Hafeez	lbw b Dinda	105	163	113	9	1	92.92
36.2 62.8 mph, slower ball and Hafeez didn't read it properly! He was on his knee to slog that away over the on side, the off cutter hits his back leg, you could see off and middle stumps, Gould was convinced 225/2
Nasir Jamshed	c IK Pathan b Ashwin	112	159	104	10	1	107.69
35.5 49.9 mph, Irfan just manages to hang on! Jamshed gets on his knee and slogs and gets a top edge that swirls towards short third man, Irfan jogs forward and the ball nearly bounces off his palm 224/1
Umar Akmal†	c Gambhir b Kumar	28	31	24	2	0	116.66
42.5 77.7 mph, straight to short fine leg! Akmal tries to paddle it away down to fine leg, it's a low full toss swinging in and he ends up scooping it down to Gambhir who didn't have to move much 273/3
Younis Khan	c Raina b Kumar	52	59	34	6	0	152.94
48.5 78.3 mph, one of the more unbelievable catches you will see! Younis made room to scoop inside out over extra cover and Raina was at the edge of the circle, leapt and plucked it mid-air with his wrong hand, he was moving to his left so it was that much more difficult for him 323/5
Shahid Afridi	c Kohli b IK Pathan	9	26	15	0	0	60.00
47.4 66.6 mph, he picks a full delivery and tries to hoick it over deep midwicket but hits it straight down Kohli's throat, temporary relief for India 313/4
Hammad Azam	c Kohli b Dinda	4	9	5	0	0	80.00
49.3 64.4 mph, India's catching of late should lift their spirits! Azam gets across to the off stump to to slam a slower delivery over the on side, wasn't in full control and Kohli managed to cup it while pedaling backwards, fell back and managed to hang on 326/6
