35.1 to Oram, A loose shot, just after he started to look comfortable. Plays away from the body, edges, and Ambrose takes a nice catch diving to his left. this could have been tricky for the slip fielder as it was landing mid-way between Ambrose and first slip 106/7
41.2 to O'Brien, and it's all over, tries to loft over mid-off but there's only a tame scoop there, thick outside edge and Anderson pockets a simple catch at mid-on 114/10

12.6 to How, flighted on middle stump, the ball holds its line after pitching and comes on straight, How gets forward to defend but the ball hits him in front of middle, Taufel is convinced. How doesn't look too happy, perhaps he was disappointed with himself rather than the decision 50/2
24.1 to Marshall, quick one, flatter too, hurries onto Marshall, he walks across and doesn't make contact, struck on the pads and he's well in front, big appeal and Taufel gives that straight away, Panesar gets the breakthrough 85/3
24.4 to McCullum, he's got another! not that much turn this time, almost a straighter one, he's tried to sweep that but missed it completely, struck on the hips and that's plumb, Taufel gives that one straight away, Monty is leading a fightback here 85/4
28.5 to Vettori, another for Monty! full ball on middle and leg, Vettori goes for the sweep but can only get a top-edge, Broad is waiting at backward square leg and that's straight to him, Monty takes off on his celebrations and England are cock-a-hoop 91/5
30.3 to Taylor, and that's a fiver! Monty gets his 100th wicket, that's huge, Taylor has to go, pitching on middle and turning away, beats his bat, exactly like the ball that beat him a few moments back, Taufel gives it this time and England are on a high, Taylor was the real danger-man here 91/6
40.4 to Mills, That's six for Monty! full and spinning away, he goes for the big sweep but is done in by the bounce, top-edge soars high in the air and Ambrose is waiting under it to complete the catch on the leg side. Now then, now then 114/8
