12.1 and Strauss goes too, short of a length on off stump, Strauss pushes hard at it on the front foot, trying to play through the line, the ball moves a touch away from the left hander, gets a thick outside edge and straight to Dravid at second slip 27/4

3.2 Munaf strikes! that hit Bell above the knee roll after cutting back into him from just outside off stump, the Indians went up in spontaneous appeal but Harper took his time before giving it out, it was perhaps a touch too high 10/1

18.5 that's a huge wicket for India! No footwork at all from Pietersen, just stands in his crease and pushes away from his body at one that was short of a length and just outside off stump, it takes the edge and first slip accepts the easiest of chances 55/5

30.2 Powar gets the nod from Simon Taufel this time. Collingwood comes forward - walks forward rather - and Powar again holds back the length and Collingwood tries to work it to the on side and must have got an inside edge on to pads before it popped up for Dhoni to hold a dolly. 104/6

34.3 Harbhajan takes a damn good catch to end Mahmood's resistance. Powar tossed it up, Mahmood couldn't resist and flung his bat. It sailed high towards long-on, Harbhajan ran ahead, then judged that the ball is behind him, turned behind, took a few steps to his left and stretched out his hand. The ball landed in his palms. He had almost got perilously close to the ropes. 119/8
