2.6 to KD Karthik, booming low full toss, Karthik plays all around it and he just didn't see it, the ball skittles the sticks. 20/3
2.311134.4081000
1.4 to G Gambhir, and now a soft dismissal, the ball landing outside off and Gambhir hardly gets any bat on a tame would-be-lofted drive to mid-off where Hopes takes an easy catch. 12/2
3.2 to RV Uthappa, slower ball, a touch of loop in at the right hander who waits for the ball to cross him and then drives uppishly to mid-off where David Hussey gets on the international scoresheet for the first time. 20/4
17.3 to IK Pathan, He's gone this time, stepping back, exposing his stumps, and trying to crack a back-foot cut off one which nipped in, Gilchrist taking the edge. 74/10
402315.7571000
14.1 to P Kumar, outside off, plenty of room, driven hard but aerially to a wideish long-off. 60/7
301013.33100000
6.4 to RG Sharma, Hopes strikes with his fourth ball! The ball comes in on a good length on off, Sharma shapes to swivel a pull round, misses, and his off stump is clipped. 32/5
301214.00100010
11.4 to MS Dhoni, swivels in on middle, a touch short, and that's Hussey's first wicket as Dhoni stands tall and swats a pull to deep midwicket which doesn't quite have the legs. 49/6
20522.5070000
15.2 to Harbhajan Singh, swivelled in to the middle stump and a magnificent catch from Clarke, who's fielding has been excellent from the off, removes the batsman with a diving effort. 63/8
15.3 to S Sreesanth, steps down the track, outside off, to meet the ball that doesn't quite come on to the bat, shapes to drive over cover, takes a slight edge, spoons to gully and that's another terrific catch, scooped low. 63/9
