England vs Middlesex, at Coolidge, , Oct 26 2008 - Match Result

low full toss, thumped out to extra cover, and that's the end of that. Flintoff was simply too good in the final analysis

clipped to midwicket, and no way through there either

flicked off the pads, but only boundaries will win it now

nothing doing there either. Full and straight again

that is superb bowling at this stage of a match. He knew what was coming - a full, fast, straight delivery - but he still couldn't make anything of it

speared into the toes, and flicked to deep midwicket

went for the glory shot over mid-off, but couldn't quite get enough bat on it. Bell steadied himself inside the rope, and claimed one of the few comfortable chances of this match. That could be curtains for Middlesex

another big wind-up, but this time it's an inside-edge to fine leg

flogged up and over the covers! Bounces just inside the rope, but that's useful hitting

Malan steps across his stumps, and Anderson gets away with a near-wide

width outside off stump, and that's a valuable boundary, square-driven past backward point. Valiant batting, but is it too late?

full length, and no way through there. Driven back to the bowler

right up to the bat again, and there can only be a single down to third man

a low full toss - that was the scoring opportunity - but the shot was hurried and Collingwood at point dived to save the run

full and straight again, and nurdled down to third man

full length once again, and squirted out to deep point. Flintoff is superb at this stage of an innings because he bowls a naturally full length

right up in the blockhole, and muscled out to extra cover

puts bat on ball, and jogs through for a single

twirled onto a good length and belted out to deep midwicket. Middlesex aren't out of this yet ...
