India have won. It was full and outside off, Broad shuffled across and attempts another heave but doesn't connect.
England vs India, 2nd ODI at Bristol, Aug 24 2007 - Ball by Ball Commentary
It's only the third time that both teams have posted 300 in an ODI in England. What a run-fest this was. Tendulkar hit a strokeful 99 before Dravid shone with a sparkling 63-ball 92 to lift India to 329. England got off to a flier but were slowed down by the spinners - Piyush Chawla and Ramesh Powar - in the middle overs. Mascarenhas biffed a 39-ball 52 but could not get them home. The series stands tied 1-1 with five matches to go.
Man of the Match: Rahul Dravid
This is Sriram Veera, signing off. Adios!
Another lemon cut. Another boundary. England now need 10 to win from one ball. Will Munaf bowl a no ball?
20 from 3 and what does Broad do. Smokes a full toss on the off stump over long off. The crowd roar their approval
shuffles right across the stumps, attempts a big heave across the line but can't connect
Ah! The lemon cut. It was full in length, outside off, Broad tries to drill it through cover, gets a inside-edge and it runs to fine leg boundary.
Short of length, on the leg stump and Broad tonks it over deep midwicket. Powar runs back, catches it and tries to flick it back in but he has already gone beyond the ropes. The crowd love it.
backs to the leg side, RP follows him and Tremlett is hit on the thigh pad as he tries to unsuccessfully pull.
fuller, on the middle and leg, driven to long on
Mascarenhas's breezy cameo ends. Death by aggression. He tries to pull a short-of-length delivery over midwicket but ends up lobbing it to midwicket. And then they were two.
bouncer that sails harmlessly down the leg side. Dhoni does well to gather it
low full toss, swatted past midwicket. The ball made contact with the bottom-half of the bat and hence doesn't travel far
lands on a length, outside off, tries to flat-bat it and gets a inner edge, along the ground, to the 'keeper
backs to the leg side, RP Singh follows him with a short of length delivery but Mascarenhas twists his body and manages to short-arm jab it to square leg boundary. That's fifty for Mascarenhas. It has been pretty entertaining.
Another short-pitched stuff, outside the off stump and Mascarenhas doesn't connect again but they rush across for a single. Dhoni had gathered it but they still get across in time. Broad had rushed out as soon as Agarkar had delivered.
serves up a bouncer and Mascarenhas can't connect with his pull shot.
on the length, on the middle and leg, Broad tries to flick it , misses but will get a leg bye. It brings the marauder on striker
slings across a low full toss, on the off stump, carted away to long off
That's six no. 5 and it lands on the roof at wide long on. That was some hit. It was a slower delivery but Mascarenhas picked it up early, waited before smoking it high over the boundary ropes. That one kept travelling.
full and outside off, again delivered with a round-arm action, and the almost yorker-length beats the intended heave
England need 47 from 18 balls.
another short delivery, Broad goes for a pull shot but no leather on wood.
