no run,
outside off, better line but still can't get the batsman to play

Steyn to Laxman,
no run,
a bit straighter, but still not straight enough. Laxman resorts to his shouldering arms.
|
97.5 |
Steyn to Laxman,
no run,
Steyn running in quick but the line is still slightly awry, Laxman can leave it alone, Steyn needs to get it a bit straighter

Steyn to Laxman,
OUT,
CRACKER! This time he got it all right, line was on middle and off stump and moving away, length was good and the ball moved away every so beautifully. Laxman shaped to defend it but was castled with the outswing. It's a delivery that fast bowlers dream off and Steyn pulls it off, watching the off stump uprooted from the ground. He's struggled with his line this morning but what a line that was! What seam position! A magic ball there

Steyn to Ganguly,
no run,
short, crack, Ganguly has no idea of what to do with it, ducks awkwardly, takes it eyes off the ball, and takes a nasty blow on the side of his helmet, Steyn is breathing fire, Ganguly is struggling to breathe. Physio John Gloster jogs in with the magic spray. Ganguly looks like a man who's just read one page from James Joyce's Ulysses (clueless)

|

no run,
wayward delivery down the leg side, another short delivery but no damage done.

Steyn to Ganguly,
(no ball) 1 run,
another bouncer, well directed and Ganguly is all at sea. Fends at it and the ball spoons up of the glove, lands safely on the leg side. Just a matter of time before one finds a fielder - one feels
