no run,
angled across the left-hander, outside off, defended off the back foot, to short cover
|
28.3 |

3* (5b)
|
29.2 |
Vettori to Broad,
no run,
massive appeal for caught-behind from McCullum, but no-one else is interested. That was the arm ball, so maybe he was just pleased to have read it
|
29.3 |
Vettori to Broad,
no run,
defended outside off
|
29.4 |
Vettori to Broad,
FOUR,
down on one knee, and that's an exquisite sweep, timed to perfection, and straight into the gap at backward square
|
29.5 |
Vettori to Broad,
no run,
pushed into the covers, Bopara is itching for another suicidal run but this time he's sent back
|
29.6 |
Vettori to Broad,
1 run,
clipped out to midwicket, and England have six overs left to set a target

Mills to Broad,
FOUR,
short and misdirected, and Broad picks off another valuable boundary, just a steer down the leg-side
|
30.2 |
Mills to Broad,
no run,
swished into the covers off the back foot, but well gathered at mid-off
|
30.3 |
Mills to Broad,

30.4 |
Mills to Broad,
1 run,
tip-and-run into the leg-side
|
30.6 |
Mills to Broad,
SIX,
short, and dispatched over square leg, cracking strike! That clears the rope by a distance, and taken comfortably by a man in the crowd with a ticket in his mouth ...

Vettori to Broad,
no run,
no width to work with, Vettori fields in his followthrough
|
31.5 |
Vettori to Broad,
no run,
wider this time, but the perfect length. Steered to mid-on
|
31.6 |
Vettori to Broad,

big stride, but nothing doing there either

Oram to Broad,
no run,
aiming for the yorker, ends up as a low full-toss, but it's a dot ball either way
|
32.4 |
Oram to Broad,
no run,
Oram is as metronomic as he was in his first spell. Cover intercepts again
|

Oram to Broad,

a smidgeon of width, and third man fields

20* (22b 2x4 1x6)
|
33.1 |
Vettori to Broad,
no run,
down the track with good intent, but Vettori drops short and Broad can only steer to short cover
|
33.2 |
Vettori to Broad,
no run,
beaten outside off stump, McCullum whips his bails off for good measure
|
33.3 |
Vettori to Broad,
no run,
nudged to cover
|
33.4 |
Vettori to Broad,
OUT,
more comedy running, and there's the hat-trick of run-outs. It was almost a lobbed catch to Scott Styris at short third man, but instead it was a simple pot-shot, who hit the stumps from the edge of the ring. Woeful, I'm afraid

a bit of width, a bigger hoon into the deep, and Mills at extra cover makes good ground to his left to cling onto a fine diving catch
