5.1 |
Pathan to Maddy,
no run,
angling across him from a wide angle, and he slashes and burns a chance for runs, completely missing
|
5.2 |
Pathan to Maddy,
SIX,
short outside off, Maddy rocks back on to one leg and heaves that, sweetly enough, through midwicket
|
5.3 |
Pathan to Maddy,
2 runs,
up and over long-on this time
|
5.4 |
Pathan to Maddy,
OUT,
goes now - holing out to mid-on, who runs in from long-on to a straightforward chance

DL Maddy c Gambhir b Pathan 29 (22m 20b 3x4 1x6) SR: 145.00
|
5.5 |
Pathan to Solanki,
no run,
staying over, wideish, and pushed forward
|
5.6 |
Pathan to Solanki,
FOUR,
drags it a touch short, but room enough for Solanki to cut away off the back foot for a well-hit four in front of point

|
10.1 |
Pathan to Solanki,
1 run,
Solanki makes room and steers into the gap in the covers
|
10.2 |
Pathan to Pietersen,
1 run,
Pietersen dances at the crease but eventually settles for a measured push into the covers
|
10.3 |
Pathan to Solanki,
OUT,
at last, India hold a catch! Solanki made room again, and swished up and over the off side. This time he couldn't get enough bat on it, and mid-off circled for an eternity before clinging onto a comfortable chance

VS Solanki c Sharma b Pathan 43 (41m 31b 5x4 1x6) SR: 138.70
|
10.4 |
Pathan to Pietersen,
1 run,
good length on off stump. Defended with caution into the covers
|
10.5 |
Pathan to Collingwood,
1 run,
Collingwood is a self-professed lover of the nurdle off the pads. And it does the trick to get him off the mark
|
10.6 |
Pathan to Pietersen,
1 run,
thumped down the ground but without much timing
|

|
12.1 |
Pathan to Collingwood,
1 run,
pitches outside leg, and Collingwood helps it on its way to midwicket
|
12.2 |
Pathan to Pietersen,
1 run,
thumped into the leg-side again. England are refusing to panic just yet
|
12.3 |
Pathan to Collingwood,
no run,
short but straight. Collingwood cuts but can't beat the man at point
|
12.4 |
Pathan to Collingwood,
no run,
full, yorker length, and Collingwood misses. Dhoni does well to stop the byes
|
12.5 |
Pathan to Collingwood,
no run,
lovely bowling again. Another yorker, outside off stump this time, and a very sharp take from Dhoni who whips off the bails, but Collingwood's foot is anchored
|
12.6 |
Pathan to Collingwood,
1 run,
flapped into the covers, too straight to work with, and that's another cracking over
|

19.1 |
Pathan to Wright,
1 run,
massive intent, but not enough connection. Midwicket cleans up
|
19.2 |
Pathan to Flintoff,
1 run,
back of a length, and clubbed down to long-off. It's all a bit futile now
|
19.3 |
Pathan to Wright,
1 wide,
way down the leg-side but Dhoni does well to save four byes
|
19.3 |
Pathan to Wright,
FOUR,
down on one knee and slapped over the covers. Good, but not good enough
|
19.4 |
Pathan to Wright,
SIX,
that must be the lowest-key maximum of the day. Helped over deep midwicket, to a bare ripple of appreciation
|
19.5 |
Pathan to Wright,
OUT,
that's an incredible catch from Harbhajan on the long-on boundary! He reached up and back and plucked the six from thin air, inches inside the rope and right in front of the England dug-out! Risked life and limb and came up trumps!

LJ Wright c Harbhajan Singh b Pathan 16 (8m 9b 1x4 1x6) SR: 177.77
|
19.6 |
Pathan to Flintoff,
FOUR,
Flintoff finishes with an emphatic thump that Harbhajan this time can't cut off. England reach 200 and save some pride, but it's India who march on
