| Brett Lee | 3 | 0 | 13 | 1 | 4.33 | 13 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 0 |
2.6 to KD Karthik, booming low full toss, Karthik plays all around it and he just didn't see it, the ball skittles the sticks. 20/3 | ||||||||||
| Nathan Bracken | 2.3 | 1 | 11 | 3 | 4.40 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
1.4 to G Gambhir, and now a soft dismissal, the ball landing outside off and Gambhir hardly gets any bat on a tame would-be-lofted drive to mid-off where Hopes takes an easy catch. 12/2 3.2 to RV Uthappa, slower ball, a touch of loop in at the right hander who waits for the ball to cross him and then drives uppishly to mid-off where David Hussey gets on the international scoresheet for the first time. 20/4 17.3 to IK Pathan, He's gone this time, stepping back, exposing his stumps, and trying to crack a back-foot cut off one which nipped in, Gilchrist taking the edge. 74/10 | ||||||||||
| Ashley Noffke | 4 | 0 | 23 | 1 | 5.75 | 7 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
14.1 to P Kumar, outside off, plenty of room, driven hard but aerially to a wideish long-off. 60/7 | ||||||||||
| James Hopes | 3 | 0 | 10 | 1 | 3.33 | 10 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
6.4 to RG Sharma, Hopes strikes with his fourth ball! The ball comes in on a good length on off, Sharma shapes to swivel a pull round, misses, and his off stump is clipped. 32/5 | ||||||||||
| David Hussey | 3 | 0 | 12 | 1 | 4.00 | 10 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
11.4 to MS Dhoni, swivels in on middle, a touch short, and that's Hussey's first wicket as Dhoni stands tall and swats a pull to deep midwicket which doesn't quite have the legs. 49/6 | ||||||||||
| Adam Voges | 2 | 0 | 5 | 2 | 2.50 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
15.2 to Harbhajan Singh, swivelled in to the middle stump and a magnificent catch from Clarke, who's fielding has been excellent from the off, removes the batsman with a diving effort. 63/8 15.3 to S Sreesanth, steps down the track, outside off, to meet the ball that doesn't quite come on to the bat, shapes to drive over cover, takes a slight edge, spoons to gully and that's another terrific catch, scooped low. 63/9 | ||||||||||
