14.3 Ashwin to Cowan, OUT, Ashwin gets the wicket finally. Cowan is gone. Lovely dismissal on all counts. Tossed up, dips on him, Cowan wants to hit another six, not near the ball at all. The ball turns and bounces, Dhoni collects it in front of his chest, and nonchalantly stumps him
EJM Cowan st †Dhoni b Ashwin 29 (45b 4x4 1x6) SR: 64.44
18.3 Ashwin to Hughes, OUT, bowled'im. Ashwin gets another. Hughes has played on. This is short, turning away giving him the room, but he doesn't play the proper cut. Just pushes at it with his arms, and gets an inside edge onto the leg stump. Had he played the proper full-blooded cut, he would have got four for this. Ashwin won't mind it, though. He has bowled some superb deliveries earlier, which have not got him wickets
PJ Hughes b Ashwin 6 (15b 0x4 0x6) SR: 40.00
34.4 Ashwin to Watson, OUT, and Ashwin strikes soon after lunch. Done in by the low bounce. Short of a length, outside off, he is going back but this skids through. It would have hit the stumps for sure, but might or might not have hit him just outside the line of off. The replays are not entirely conclusive, but it looks more outside the line than in
SR Watson lbw b Ashwin 28 (60b 3x4 0x6) SR: 46.66
36.4 Ashwin to Warner, OUT, Warner has played with fire far too often and for far too long. Continues staying back to fullish deliveries. He has been misjudging the length too often to have carried on with this innings. Goes back deep into the crease. The trajectory is flat all right, but the length is much fuller. He is late in bringing the bat down, and is caught dead in front
DA Warner lbw b Ashwin 59 (93b 6x4 0x6) SR: 63.44
46.6 Ashwin to Wade, OUT, all five for Ashwin so far. Tossed up on middle and leg, straightens after that. Wade plays down the wrong line altogether, and is hit in front. That's pretty adjacent, although Wade doesn't seem happy when walking back
MS Wade lbw b Ashwin 12 (35b 1x4 0x6) SR: 34.28
