9.5 to NV Knight, short and wide outside the off, instead of the cut Knight pushes at it and ends up playing it wide of the third-slip, Martyn dives to his left and takes a superb catch, Bichel strikes in his first over!. 66/1 11.1 to MP Vaughan, beauty! good length delivery on the off stump line and moving away a touch, Vaughan had to play at it and ends up getting a faint edge, simplest of catch for Gilchrist, Bichel strikes again. 72/2 11.6 to N Hussain, ho god! good length delivery on the middle, moves away this time, Hussain plays all over it, off stump goes for a toss, Bichel gets his third. 74/3 17.5 to PD Collingwood, slashes at the ball as it leaves him, gets a solid edge...well taken. 87/5 42.3 to A Flintoff, attempts a hoik off his feet, mistimed and the ball flies up high over his head.....Gilchrist has plenty of time to get into position and takes a simple regulation catch. 177/6 44.2 to AJ Stewart, Stewart is totally beaten, the ball send the off bail whistling past Gilchrist...Stewart id shocked. 180/7 46.1 to AF Giles, tries to lift the ball over covers, Bevan has a kittle jump in the air and plucks the ball out of the air...it looks as if he is harvesting apples. 187/8

2.2 to ML Hayden, . 15/1 4.2 to AC Gilchrist, slashes with a cut, low trajectory to third man, where Vaughn spills the first attempt but is able to recover with a right hand catch. 33/2 4.5 to DR Martyn, cuts back from the off, appears to nick the bat as it goes into the pads, on appeal Umpire Dar gives the finger and another Australian is back in the hut. 33/3 8.4 to RT Ponting, hooks a short pitched delivery, miscues and goes up high to Vaughn at fine leg....a good catch...and the Crowd goes up in excitement. 48/4
