- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.3 driven high and straight but Maddy deceived by the slower ball ... no power in the shot and deepish mid-off takes a routine catch 48/34.5 a charge too far, Prior gets cramped as Johnson follows him and the ball, which hit high up on the bat, hangs for a long time before falling to Bracken at wide mid-on 29/16.4 Johnson swings it across Wright who slogs and gets a thick outside edge, Gilchrist does the rest 37/213.1 the dangerman has gone, that's the biggest wicket yet, cleaned up with a full delivery as he stepped to leg, almost yorking himself 97/510.3 low full toss, on off, and a huge wicket, Collingwood trapped low and there wasn't much deliberating needed to give that one out 73/416.6 tries to be clever and run the ball up and over the vacant first slip but it's held by Clark at a shortish third man 127/617.4 wheels are coming off - Shah holes out now, this time to a sanother slow delivery over in front of deep midwicket 128/718.6 unfortunate dismissal in some ways... Mascarenhas charging down the track in backing up and Broad's straight drive takes a nick from Clark's down-pointing fingers 132/918.5 great catch, Gilchrist dives to his left - and seems to be suspended there - making great ground to hold the thick edge with one outstretched glove 132/819.6 and that's that, Broad cleaned up going for a huge one, driving an inside edge back on to the stumps 135/10Extras3 (nb 3)TOTAL135 all out (20 Overs, RR: 6.75)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (MJ Prior, 4.5 ov), 2-37 (LJ Wright, 6.4 ov), 3-48 (DL Maddy, 7.3 ov), 4-73 (PD Collingwood, 10.3 ov), 5-97 (KP Pietersen, 13.1 ov), 6-127 (A Flintoff, 16.6 ov), 7-128 (OA Shah, 17.4 ov), 8-132 (CP Schofield, 18.5 ov), 9-132 (AD Mascarenhas, 18.6 ov), 10-135 (SCJ Broad, 19.6 ov)
