fuller and quicker on leg stump, but Cook sees it and clips to square leg

nothing like the same purchase on offer on this wicket for Benn
|
24.3 |
Benn to Strauss,
no run
|
24.4 |
Benn to Strauss,
1 run,
down the wicket and driven hard into the covers, and there's a misfield as the ball bobbles. The fielders can't really be blamed, and nor can the groundsmen

Benn to Strauss,
no run,
better length, and another hint of turn

Benn to Strauss,
2 runs,
back into the crease and defended backward of point to move to within a boundary of a well-earned fifty

|
28.2 |
Benn to Strauss,
no run,
outside off again, threatening to turn, but oh so gently
|
28.3 |
Benn to Strauss,
no run,
dropped! Short, Strauss swung into a wild cut but got a big top-edge, and Gayle at slip went for it one-handed but couldn't gather
|
28.4 |
Benn to Strauss,
no run,
solidly forward
|
28.5 |
Benn to Strauss,
no run,
defended again, Strauss is chastened
|
28.6 |

30.1 |
Benn to Strauss,
no run,

into position early for the sweep and dinked through square leg. Strauss knows just how true this pitch is proving to be
|
30.3 |
Benn to Cook,

on the pads and worked to midwicket. Cook is slip-streaming his skipper well now
|
30.4 |

|
30.5 |
Benn to Strauss,
no run,
driven again, harder this time, but straight at the fielder
|
30.6 |

32.4 |
Benn to Cook,
no run,
tight lines again
|
32.5 |
Benn to Cook,
no run,
oh my God, what's that not hitting?! Cook goes down to sweep, gets in a complete tangle, and that looks plumb to the naked eye. Harper disagrees, and there are no referrals
|
32.6 |
Benn to Cook,
no run,
replays suggest that last one was taking the bails on leg stump. On reflection, a decent decision, to be fair
|

England

SJ Benn
9-1-19-0
|
34.1 |
Benn to Cook,

|
34.2 |
Benn to Cook,
no run,
tucked to square leg
|
34.3 |
Benn to Cook,
1 run,
swung away to the leg-side, a bit of a loose stroke, but he got enough bat on it in the end
|
34.4 |
Benn to Strauss,
SIX,
wonderful strike, width outside off, two steps down the track and a clean swing of the blade. That sails over the ropes

no run,
sharp spin this time, "yes Benny" declares the keeper

10-1-26-0
|
36.1 |
Benn to Cook,
no run,
well played by Cook, hanging back in his crease and playing it late with soft hands. That was one which held its line
|
36.2 |
Benn to Cook,
FOUR,
monstrous heave-ho over midwicket - cor, he's played that well. Touch too short from Benn, so Cook went down on one knee and smudged him powerfully over the leg side
|
36.3 |
Benn to Cook,
1 run,
calmly glided out to the off side
|
36.4 |
Benn to Strauss,
no run,
on middle-and-leg, Strauss pats it
|
36.5 |
Benn to Strauss,

that's an excellent length but Strauss is calmly forward, deadening the spin

36.6 |
Benn to Strauss,
no run,

England

|
56.3 |
Benn to Strauss,
no run,
on leg stump, nurdled
|
56.4 |
Benn to Strauss,
1 run,
gorgeous, effortless drive out to the sweeper on the boundary but only for a single
|
56.5 |
Benn to Shah,
2 runs,
outside leg, Shah stabs it down to fine-leg. Plays spin so well, Shah - just jabs his bat and uses the angle and spin of the ball. Lets the ball come to him
|
56.6 |
Benn to Shah,
1 run,
foot forward to the pitch of the ball, he turns his wrists and steals a single. And the strike

|
58.3 |

an extravagant leave by Shah! Huge stride down the pitch, then draws his bat inside the line ala Jack Russell
|
58.5 |
Benn to Shah,
1 no ball,
nudged to leg
|
58.5 |
Benn to Shah,

SJ Benn
13-1-37-0
|
60.1 |
Benn to Strauss,
FOUR,
another four. Runs really flowing here for England. Benn floated it on middle-and-leg, but there's little turn and little bounce. Strauss went down on one knee, thought about proposing, before whacking it over midwicket
|
60.2 |
Benn to Strauss,
no run,
nudged to leg
|
60.3 |
Benn to Strauss,
no run,
an absolute howler by Benn which, for some reason, isn't called a wide despite it being fired two feet down the leg side
|
60.4 |
Benn to Strauss,
FOUR,
I'm afraid this is poor bowling. It's too straight - he's not forcing him to drive through the covers. Strauss heaves him over the vacant deep midwicket region for another fat four
|
60.5 |
Benn to Strauss,
1 run,
short, again too straight, and Strauss this time clips it off his hip
|
60.6 |
Benn to Shah,
no run,
full toss, defended to mid-on
|
|
England

62.3 |
Benn to Shah,
SIX,
bosh, that's a statement! In the slot, and slotted straight over the bowler's head and into the crowd!
|
62.4 |
Benn to Shah,
FOUR,
swish bang! Straight down the ground, through the line, along the ground. Top biffing
|
62.5 |
Benn to Shah,
no run,
an aggressive forward defence to follow, if that makes sense. Fully forward, but not quite there for the shot
|
62.6 |
Benn to Shah,
no run,
pushed into the off side, and that's an emphatic resumption
|
|

85.5 |
Benn to Strauss,
no run,
square driven to Smith's left at point, who is athletic and swift to prevent the single
|
85.6 |
Benn to Strauss,
FOUR,
bosh! That'll do. A gift from Benn, Strauss skips down the pitch, opens himself up and hits him inside out for four through cover. Twang

cautiously forward
|
109.2 |

short of a length and cut out to cover

|
115.2 |
Benn to Collingwood,
no run,
on the off stump this time, clunked back to Benn as Collingwood holds the pose at him. Benn is distinctly unimpressed...before they both break out into laughter. Good to see

blocked on the front foot

|
141.2 |
Benn to Collingwood,
1 run,
quicker, flatter and again cut

143.1 |
Benn to Prior,
no run,
tossed up on the off stump
|
143.2 |
Benn to Prior,
FOUR,
uppishly guided wide of the slip, down to third man. Really cleverly played, using the pace of the ball
|
143.3 |
Benn to Prior,
FOUR,
he's done it again, and this is even better. Rocks back to the leg side and back-cuts it wide down to third man. He plays that shot very well

Benn to Prior,
no run,
flicked to leg
|

|
143.6 |

145.1 |
Benn to Prior,
no run,
short, Prior cuts to point
|
145.2 |
Benn to Prior,
2 runs,
square driven hard and powerfully out to deep extra cover, and Sarwan does the fielding ... but he can't prevent two. Well run
|

tossed up outside leg and it's flicked to leg
|
145.4 |

|
147.1 |
Benn to Collingwood,
1 run,
gives this a bit of air on middle-and-leg and he chips it to the leg side
|
147.2 |
Benn to Broad,
2 runs,
Broad lunges down - he's about 9ft 1in so it takes him a while - and sweep-paddles it to fine leg
|
147.3 |
Benn to Broad,
no run,
firmly forward, smothering the spin
|
147.4 |
Benn to Broad,
no run,
forward onto the front foot, meets the ball and turns it with a flick of the wrists
|
147.5 |
Benn to Broad,
FOUR,
pure elegance from Broad, but a horrible full toss which got what it deserved
|
147.6 |
Benn to Broad,
FOUR,
four more but a little fortuitously. A real slog from outside off, hitting "under" the ball and only just over mid-off. But...it's four all the same

Benn to Collingwood,
1 run,
eased into the covers off the front foot
|
160.3 |
Benn to Swann,
no run,
tweaks past the edge, and fumbled by the keeper. Lucky there was no bat on that. Not that it really matters at this stage of proceedings

Benn to Swann,
no run,
floated onto a good length
|
160.5 |
Benn to Swann,

162.1 |
Benn to Collingwood,
FOUR,
an inelegant squat-sweep, but sweetly timed. That's four
|
162.2 |
Benn to Collingwood,
4 byes,
not much the keeper could do about that. Fired down the leg-side, and there's no cutting that off
|
162.3 |
Benn to Collingwood,
1 run,
on the pads, tipped round the corner, and that's the 550
|
162.4 |
Benn to Swann,
1 run,
three steps down the track and driven coolly down to long-on
|
162.5 |
Benn to Collingwood,
no run,
twirled onto a good length, and something resembling spin
|
162.6 |
Benn to Collingwood,
2 runs,
clubbed down to long-off. All eyes on the dressing-room, but I suspect we might be out here for a while yet. Strauss might prefer 600 ... this is the ARG, after all

Benn to Collingwood,
no run,
defended stoically on off stump
|
164.3 |
Benn to Collingwood,
2 runs,
smashed high, high and handsomely, up and over midwicket. Edwards takes a brilliant catch as he hurtles towards the rope, but has no choice but to flick the ball back into play as he crashed into the boundary-boards
|
164.4 |
Benn to Collingwood,
1 run,
worked into space
|
164.5 |
Benn to Swann,
1 run,
driven back to the bowler, who is looking rather hacked off with life, to be frank
|
164.6 |
Benn to Collingwood,
1 run,
driven down to mid-off. A bit meandery out there for the moment. Bring on the declaration. Please
