BOWLING	O	M	R	W	ECON	0s	4s	6s	WD	NB
Praveen Kumar	4	0	30	3	7.50	9	1	1	0	0
0.3 to V Sehwag, gone! Praveen gets Sehwag with an ordinary ball, its short of a length and slanting down leg stump but Sehwag just turns it off his pads to Taylor at square leg. 1/1 0.5 to M Manhas, another one down! Praveen's on a roll, this time bending his back and dragging the ball in short to suck Manhas into the pull shot, except he's nowhere in line to play that and gets a tame top edge that pops up the other way and Kallis, from second slip, dives forward to pluck the ball. 1/2 17.5 to KD Karthik, tries the cheeky shot and perishes this time! Praveen goes full outside off stump and Karthik gets across his stumps and top-edges the attempted paddle shot to Uthappa, running to his left at fine leg. 114/7
Jacques Kallis	4	0	17	1	4.25	11	1	0	0	0
5.6 to G Gambhir, bad ball, bad shot! Kallis bowls it short and wide, a real half-tracker, Gambhir needlessly decides to try and jump up and uppercut it but makes horrible timing and slaps the ball straight to Taylor at cover-point, who takes his second catch of the day. 37/3
Balachandra Akhil	2	0	20	0	10.00	2	3	0	0	0
Roelof van der Merwe	4	0	31	1	7.75	3	2	0	0	0
10.3 to AB de Villiers, big wicket! Its the arm ball on a good length, AB looks to play it down but is late on the shot and the ball sneaks under the bat and disturbs the furniture. 65/4
Anil Kumble	4	0	24	2	6.00	7	1	0	2	0
11.3 to AB McDonald, yorked! Kumble pitches it up very straight, a quick yorker on middle stump, McDonald gets into terrible position and misses it completely, the ball crashes into off stump. 70/5 16.5 to Y Nagar, gone now! Kumble flights it up nicely, gives it some air and that undoes Nagar, who is early into the big inside-out shot over cover and picks out Uthappa in the deep. 109/6
Virat Kohli	2	0	12	0	6.00	4	0	0	1	0

0.6 to RV Uthappa, edged and gone! Nehra gets Uthappa with a full ball that angles wide and sucks him into a loose drive, Karthik takes the catch to his right, fumbles, but recovers in time. 2/1

12.3 to R Dravid, and he's got Dravid! Nagar strikes with one that's faster, shorter and turning back into Dravid who backs away to try and force it to the on side but instead chips it back to Nagar. 72/2 14.5 to LRPL Taylor, looks for another six but picks out Vettori just inside the ropes at long-on! Nagar again tosses it up, a tad fuller this time and thats the major factor, because Taylor was down on one knee looking to lift that much squarer, just got under it and holed out to the deep. 101/3
