what a beauty! Harbhajan shows what he is capable of. It was flighted from round the stumps, lands on a length around middle and off, Dhawan looked to come forward before he went back and the ball spun past his defensive poke to clip the off stump. Had he gone forward he would have covered the turn and got the opportunity to smother it or had he gone back straightaway too, he could have kept it out but that moment of confusion, whether should I go forward or back, has caused him . Fine innings, though.

lunges out to steer the flighted delivery to deep point
