Nehra to Mudassar Bukhari,
SIX,
whoa, another six. Netherlands are leaving India oranje-faced with a big sting in the tail. Nehra is still looking for the tight yorker. It doesn't require much to go wrong, for that to end up as a half-volley on the pads. Bukhari got the front foot inside the line and tonked it wildly over long on. Part golf, past cricket.

Nehra to Mudassar Bukhari,
FOUR,
aha, bad luck now for Nehra. He delivers a smart offcutter, full on middle and leg stump, Bukhari can't pick it and plays all over it, and ends up getting a leading edge to third man for four

Harbhajan Singh to Mudassar Bukhari,
SIX,
India leaking runs like a metro-water lorry in Chennai. Fires it full on leg stump, Bukhari's footwork is good enough to get under it and swing it over midwicket. The crowd is caught between anxiety and cheer.

Harbhajan Singh to Mudassar Bukhari,
1 wide,
ragged. Harbhajan loses the plot and lands this wide down the leg side

Harbhajan Singh to Mudassar Bukhari,

Khan to Mudassar Bukhari,
no run,
Bukhari plays the pull so early that he gets it out to cover. Short of a length ball from Zaheer, meets Bukhari's swipe rather early and runs away to the off side
|
46.4 |
Khan to Mudassar Bukhari,
OUT,
Zaheer has arrested the bleeding and finished off the innings. Despite the late flourish, Netherlands end short of an average score. The fast searing yorker angles across the batsman, there's not much you can attempt with that ball, except the squeezed single to the off side, or a tough-to-pull-off delicate dab to third man. Bukhari just went for the big swipe across the line even as he backed away. Ended up getting an inside edge that clattered onto off stump. India need 190 to win.
