1.1 to EC Joyce, and he's gone! He's shouldered arms and back goes his off stump! A terrific ball, just cutting back in to Joyce who watches his stump flatten. It almost kept a little low, too, and Rankin receives congratulatory slaps from all his team-mates. 6/1
5.2 to MP Vaughan, terrific bowling - the perfect length from Rankin, bouncing a touch on Vaughan who played the most meek of shots, coming forward and hanging his bat out like a piece of limp lettuce. A thick outside edge hands the wicketkeeper a simple chance to his right. 23/2
1007017.00269100
43.3 to A Flintoff, oh dear. Flintoff attempts to late-cut the spinner, gets a thick inside edge as the ball canons into his off stump. 194/5
1015615.60251300
48.2 to PA Nixon, but it doesn't come off this time, as he attempts the same shot but skies it to mid-on; Eoin Morgan sprints in and almost misjudges it, requiring a dive, but he gets his hands to it to take a fine catch. 245/6
402616.5092020
21.2 to IR Bell, gone! Bell's turgid knock comes to a tame end, attempting to late-cut a straight one from O'Brien...but he could only deflect it straight into the wicketkeeper's gloves. 89/3
1003813.80353020
26.3 to KP Pietersen, but he's gone now - a huge wicket, and another poor shot. Half a step down the pitch, it was whipped straight to William Porterfield at mid-on - no power in the stroke, and even less placement. 113/4

0.5 to JP Bray, but Anderson corrects his line this time, and Bray's loose drive hands Bopara a catch - a fine catch indeed as Bray slashed Anderson, hard, to him in the gully. 6/1
823404.25323011

18.5 to WTS Porterfield, a tame end ... Porterfield looked to whip the ball through midwicket, but only got a thick leading edge and the ball ever so gently looped up to short extra cover. 72/3
44.5 to DT Johnston, full, Johnston aims a wild swing over midwicket, misses, and the ball clatters his leg stump. 197/7
46.1 to D Langford-Smith, super yorker-length delivery, the bat comes down just in time and the ball squirts away fine on the off side ... Flintoff and Nixon appeal and the umpire gives it out. I would like to see that again ... well, the replay looks for all the world that the ball came off the outside edge, but perhaps there was boot first ... all a bit incolnclusive. 210/9
48.1 to WK McCallan, another well-directed yorker, through a indecisive swish, and the leg stump is sent spinning. 218/10
603816.33184010
45.5 to AR White, White tries to paddle the ball round to leg, Collingwood bowls wide outside off stump and there is no way the batsman can scoop it round from there, it lobs off the face of the bat high into the air and Nixon runs ten yards back to take the simplest of catches. 209/8
1013123.10361000
29.5 to AC Botha, slog-swept, but it's top-edged and skied to Flintoff at mid-on who has to jog in about five metres, sliding down on his knees to take it grass-level. 116/4
35.6 to KJ O'Brien, rapped on his pads but it's drifting down....no it's not, he's out! Taufel has raised his finger.. 139/5
903413.77280110
36.2 to NJ O'Brien, lovely bowling, O'Brien deceived by a beautifully flighted delivery and left stranded, Nixon whips off the bails and Vaughan has a grin bigger than the Cheshire Cat. O'Brien played a super little knock, and a disappointing end getting out to what amounts to a part-time bowler. 139/6
