5.6 to Cook, got'm! bowled from round the wicket, coming in with the angle and drifting away after hitting the deck, Cook is sucked forward and the edge is produced, Dhoni makes no mistake, Munaf Patel with the all important breakthrough! 7/1
51.5 to Jones, and the breakthrough! short rising delivery, cutting in from outside the off stump, Jones defends on the back-foot, ball clips the inside edge and crashes into the woodwork, that was a lazy looking short and Jones was beaten by the extra bounce, England six down, perfect start for India. 116/6
55.2 to Plunkett, that's a beauty! full and reversing in, too good a delivery for Plunkett, ball hits the pad plumb in front of the stumps, loud appeal and up goes the dreadful finger, Patel on a roll here - England seven down 124/7
59.4 to Hoggard, nuked! perfect inswinging yorker, Hoggard hardly got any time to react, ball hits the boot and ricochets into the stumps, Patel having a dream debut here 139/8

26.5 to Pietersen, flighted delivery on the middle and off stump line, Pietersen goes for the sweep but misses the target by a long way, ball hits him on the arm and lobs up behind the stumps, Dravid nicely settles under it and they go up for the catch - umpire Hari upholds the appeal! Pietersen mighty unlucky there! 55/3

23.3 to Strauss, oh dear! flat delivery outside the off stump, Strauss goes low looking to sweep, ball clips the bottom edge of the bat, hits the boot on the full and lobs up on the off side, Dhoni moves in quickly and takes it cleanly, umpire Taufel goes upstairs and the RED light flashes, England two down. 50/2
38.5 to Collingwood, gone! genuine leg-break, close to the off stump line, Collingwood pokes at it tentatively and ends up with a thick edge, Dravid at first slips swoops down and takes a good low catch, Kumble strikes again, England four down and in trouble here 88/4
48.6 to Bell, Kumble strikes again! slightly short and turning away, Bell pokes at it away from his body, a nothing shot to say the least, ball goes off the edge and Dhoni holds on well to a fairly hard chance, England five down 109/5
75.2 to Harmison, gone! quicker delivery down the leg, Harmison fails to connect, Dhoni moves across quickly, collects it cleanly and the bails are off in a flash, Harmison is just out of the crease and umpire Hair gives him the bike key, England nine down 181/9
