Lee to Strauss,
no run,
a loosener from Lee and that's left alone

Lee to Strauss,
no run,
ooh, interesting one - Lee's on the money this time and Strauss just to say takes his bat away from that forward defensive in time and the ball flies past his outside edge
|
0.3 |
Lee to Strauss,
no run,
straighter and that's defended easily off the back foot
|
0.4 |
Lee to Strauss,
no run,
Lee's right arm just strays a little on release and the ball flies wide down the off-side channel, and the batsman isn't interested in that
|

Lee to Strauss,
no run,
better, on the off-stump line and that's defended
|

Lee to Strauss,

the batsmen briefly consider a single as that one's dinked into leg, and they set off - but turn back, realising there's no run on

no run,
left alone outside the off stump
|
2.5 |
Lee to Cook,

worked off the front foot in front of midwicket and that's zoomed back in to the non-striker's end
|
4.2 |
Lee to Strauss,
FOUR,
strays a touch down leg and the batsman is quickly on to that one, simply timing it away off his toes through midwicket and that's a top shot

4.3 |
Lee to Strauss,
no run,
left alone outside the off stump
|
4.4 |
Lee to Strauss,

that's worked off the front foot in front of midwicket
|
6.4 |
Lee to Strauss,
1 run,
banged in at 144.5kph and Strauss steers it to square, but not convincingly - his bottom hand flies up off the bat as he connects
|
6.5 |
Lee to Cook,
no run,
a touch wide but Cook is still tempted to explore and he rushes at it, lucky not to have his edge caught in the process

Cook forced onto the back foot. That one was 93mph (149.73 kph)

Lee responds with a good ball on off stump
|
8.4 |
Lee to Cook,
1 run,
leg side, turned just to the left of the man in close just behind square leg

Lee to Pietersen,

short - but probably not as short as Pietersen thought who ducks underneath it
|
32.4 |
Lee to Pietersen,
FOUR,
ooh, streaky - very Pieterseny - outside off and he flails his hands at it, torpedoing it through the gully. As expression goes, "if you're going to flash, flash hard." I hate that expression
|
32.5 |
Lee to Pietersen,
1 run,
and he turns his wrists, neatly tucking it behind square
|
32.6 |

again that's down the channel, a smidgen wider, and again that's left alone

no run,
that one comes in at the right-hander, short and rearing, and he quickly fends it down off the back foot
|
34.4 |
Lee to Collingwood,
1 run,
shapes to drive off the back foot and that's a good diving stop in the covers, although the batsmen have time aplenty to scramble through the single

Lee to Pietersen,
no run,
dug out off the back foot and squirts a drive to the covers

34.6 |
Lee to Pietersen,

Lee to Collingwood,

36.2 |
Lee to Collingwood,
no run,
well played on the back foot, a tidy defensive shot
|
36.3 |
Lee to Collingwood,
no run,
that's a fuller one but well dug out and it's driven, without much power, on the on-side
|
36.4 |
Lee to Collingwood,
no run,
ooh. Collingwood shuffles across to play one which whistles past his nose and he fails to connect. So close and Lee grasps his head with both hands
|
36.5 |
Lee to Collingwood,
no run,
that one was left alone easily this time
|
36.6 |
Lee to Collingwood,
(no ball) FOUR,
nice punch away through extra-cover off the back foot this time, with enough power for it to race to the boundary

36.6 |
Lee to Collingwood,

shuffles forward but then immediately ducks, more of a bob in fact, as the ball flies high and wide above him

driven out to the man at cover point

Lee to Pietersen,

Lee to Pietersen,

well bowled, taking all the speed of it, but Pietersen senses what's going on early, takes a big stride forward, goes down on one knee and lamps it a touch aerially over cover

Lee came round the wicket this time and that's worked out behind square and right out inside the boundary

40.4 |
Lee to Collingwood,
no run,
oversteps this time, going round again, and that's defended as it angles across him
|
40.5 |
Lee to Collingwood,

a big flash at that one, and that just fails to take the edge as it bends slightly away

oohs from the crowd as the edge off a jumping back-foot defensive nearly crashes on to the stumps; as it is it bounces down and over

42.3 |
Lee to Collingwood,
3 runs,
good shot, round the wicket, too straight and Collingwood went back and punched it through the covers
|
42.4 |
Lee to Pietersen,
no run,
pulls out of that one, ducking away and showing the ball his shoulder as it flies past
|
42.5 |
Lee to Pietersen,
no run,
round the wicket again, and that's way past the batsman, a touch wide and easily left alone
|
42.6 |
Lee to Pietersen,

Pietersen rockets that in front of midwicket - he leapt on to it with trademark Pietersen speed and boshes it all the way to the boundary

FOUR,
fabulous shot, stand-and-deliver from Flintoff who just hits through the line - a check-drive and it flies to the extra-cover boundary. Just a loosener from Lee, wide and short outside off
|
66.2 |
Lee to Flintoff,
no run,
what a cracker! Great response from Lee, swinging in to Flintoff before cutting away at the last second. Flintoff drops his hands but that was mighty close
|
66.3 |
Lee to Flintoff,
no run,
pitched up this time and he comes forward, a little tentatively, to block it out
|
66.4 |
Lee to Flintoff,
no run,
good lift from Lee, just short of a length, but Flintoff goes back to defend with a very straight bat
|
66.5 |
Lee to Flintoff,
FOUR,
ooh, streaky, bit of luck there for Flintoff as he drives, without moving his feet, gets a thick outside edge and it flies over gully. Yikes

prods at this, unconvincingly and it rolls out into the gully

Lee to Pietersen,
no run,
crack! Smacked on the up, but straight to cover
|
70.3 |

that's a touch quicker from Lee and this time he does find some inswing, Pietersen times it to mid-on but again can't find the gap
|
70.4 |
Lee to Pietersen,
no run,
and again he can't bisect the fielder; he really timed that superbly, and short mid-off took the brunt of it
|
70.5 |
Lee to Pietersen,
no run,
nearly! Pietersen tried to hit that into New Zealand, an almighty swing of the bat and he misses the ball by several feet
