123.6 kph slower one cutting in, but the line was on leg stump, and Watson picked it neatly in front of square leg, again a boundary off the last ball of the over

Ashwin to Watson,
FOUR,
and for the third time in as many overs, Watson gets a boundary off the last ball, with tremendous bat speed, hits a full delivery back towards Ashwin, who fails to field it and the outfield is too quick after that happens

Khan to Watson,
FOUR,
slightly over pitched, and at that angle from round the stumps, it is enough for Watson, lets it comes on and whips it in to the gap past short midwicket and mid on, lovely timing, no movement whatsoever for the bowler

possible chance, gets him to chip it in the air, he is beaten in the flight, but manages to get it just over Zaheer running to his left from mid off, and what's more, it also runs in to the boundary

Patel to Haddin,

smart batting from Haddin. 130 kph, short ball wide enough outside off for Haddin to safely guide down to third man, past Dhoni who can't do much. Expertly executed late cut that.

Patel to Haddin,
FOUR,
Haddin has 50. Munaf is clocked at 138 kph. I wonder if that's a speed gun glitch. Over-pitched on the leg stump, Haddin gets the front foot inside the line and heaves away over the vacant midwicket area. Not the best bit of timing, but perfect choice of placement. Well played.

Patel to Ponting,
FOUR,
vintage Ponting. Legcutter at 121 kph, Ponting seemed to read it even before Munaf sent it down. He seemed to have read it from Munaf's brain. He got into position to the length ball, moving that front foot into a lovely position and just launched it through the line, almost all the way over long on. Super shot.

Harbhajan Singh to Ponting,
FOUR,
Harbhajan is not happy, Ponting went for the sweep to a flat and fast one, got it off the middle of the blade in front of square leg, but Yuvraj on the boundary barely moved to his left, even if he had, he didn't have any chance, it was struck so well, but the lack of any attempt riled Harbhajan
