96.3 to MK Tiwary, Bala produces that special delivery.... slower ball, landing on a length, no footwork from Tiwary who knows he is beaten, he tries to defend it limply but inside-edges it onto his off and middle stumps. What a big wicket. Replays show Manoj played for a slower legbreak, but this one turned out to be a googly. What shrewd deception. 302/6 113.5 to AB Dinda, that's sharp, at 127ks, close to the fatsest deliveries we have seen in the match, and Dinda plays in his own special manner, not getting into the line, and just throwing his bat at it, and the ball goes straight through onto the middle stump. Entertaining but short, Dinda's stay was. 344/9 | ||||||||||

15.2 to Arindam Das, finally Ganapathy is accurate enough, and the late inward movement from just outside off beats the bat, and hits him straight in front. But the ball was rising, hit him just over the knee roll of the back leg, and height could have been the only issue. Umpire Hariharan was fairly convinced, though. First wicket for TN. 20/1 43.4 to WP Saha, the slower one finally strikes, he probably saw it coming, and went down to sweep it, the ball dipped, and landed full on his foot, in front of the leg stump. Over-confidence, perhaps, from the batsman's side, but a big breakthrough for Tamil Nadu. 124/3 105.4 to R Kundu, and Gana gets his man, Kundu can consider himself a bit unfortunate, late inswing here, the ball starts outside off, and moves in late, rapping him in front of middle and leg, but this could have gon down the leg. Umpire Hariharan doesn't think so. 320/7 107.4 to SS Sarkar, Gana gets his man though. Bowls the slower leg-cutter, Sarkar goes for the big drive. As it is Sarkar is standing outside leg, and this is a wide delivery. Does well to reach it and edge it, and Karthik dives to his right to complete the catch. 320/8 114.6 to RR Bose, First five-for in first-class cricket... pitched up, moving in, and Rono looks elegant in guiding it straight to Vidyut at midwicket. Gana is elated, what an effort for somebody whose average pace is less than 120ks. 345/10 | ||||||||||

46.1 to LR Shukla, another freak dismissal, full-blooded sweep from Shukla, hits the boot of Mukund at forward shortleg, whereupon the bal lobs back for the simplest of catches for Karthik. The umpires go to the third umpire who confirms what Shukla would have dreaded. Foot of God, Mukund will insist. 131/4 80.6 to D Chakrabarty, another lucky wicket for TN, this one was a long hop asking to be hit, but Chakra doesn't get the meat of it, and hits it towards square leg, where C Suresh dives full length to catch it just in front of the suqareleg umpire Hariharan, who had spread his legs to let the ball through. 258/5 | ||||||||||

6.1 to M Vijay, that's a lame dismissal, shortish and wide, Vijay plays a losse shot, without foot movement, and limply lobs it straight to Manoj Tiwary at point. And Rono has struck early again. 11/1 16.5 to S Badrinath, Sharp movement, Rono gets his man, this is a length delivery, Badri is caught on the crease, the movement beats his bat, and it's a pretty straightforward decision. This is Rono's ninth over unchanged, and he has got his second wicket. 48/2 | ||||||||||

98.5 to L Balaji, gone! and it's all over for TN! Balaji chased a wide delivery, trying to slog it over mid-on, but mistimed it to Laxmi Shukla at mid-off who took a god catch running backwards.. 306/10 | ||||||||||

33.2 to S Vidyut, lovely bowling, this one nipped away after pitching within the stumps, making Vidyut play, who tentatively pokes at it, the edge is taken this time, and Saha - like Bob Willis would say - makes no mistake. This wasn't just the angle, there was some movement upon pitching. 87/4 | ||||||||||

44.2 to KD Karthik, Mannu you beauty! DK goes for the orthodox sweep this time, is way early into the shot, this takes the back of his bat and lobs towards short fine, where Manoj Tiwary almost flies to his right to take it inches off the ground. DK can't believe the catch is taken. He wants third-umpire to confirm it, but the on-field umpires are satisfiedOops Oops, the replays suggest the ball went off the elbow guard, and that's why he wasn't pleased with the decision. 147/5 78.3 to C Ganapathy, gone!! Ganapathy goes, straight ball outside off, he comes down a couple of steps to defend, misses it completely and Wriddhiman Saha effects an easy stumping. TN eight down now, and the threat of overhauling the Bengal score has receded significantly. 258/8 | ||||||||||

77.6 to SS Kumar, utter confusion there, googly bowled on middle and leg, pitches full, tries to turn it away on the on-side, gets a thin inside edge onto the pads, the ball lobs up to be taken by Banerjee at slip. The umpire Asnani shakes his head initially to a vociferous appeal by the Bengal players, but then suddenly decides to raise his finger. Replays suggest his change of heart was correct.. 258/7 | ||||||||||

18.6 to WP Saha, gone! full outside off inducing Saha into the drive, he obliges but gets a thick outside edge, thanks to some late away movement, straight to M Vijay at first slip. 48/2 48.5 to LR Shukla, Gone!! Short outside off, Shukla initially thinks of playing at it but withdraws his bat at the last moment. However, the ball deflects off his gloves on the way to the keeper and the fielders go up immediately. The umpire raises his finger, and gives the right decision.. 147/5 52.3 to R Kundu, bowled 'im! Balaji strikes again, bowled from wide of the crease and angling into the batsman, a full ball targeting off stump, Kundu gets on the front foot to defend but the ball leaves him at just the last moment to send the off stump cartwheeling towards the keeper.. 152/6 54.1 to Arindam Das, gone!! The inswinger does him in, Balaji bowling a dream spell here. Wide of the crease again and angling into Das, pitches on off and then moves in towards middle, Das pushes at it lazily with minimum foot movement, misses, and his stumps are splayed. 153/7 62.1 to SS Sarkar, bowled from wide of the crease, pitching short of a good length on the off stump and swinging in after pitching, Sarkar is clearly done in by the movement there, gets on the front foot and tries to defend on the off side expecting the ball to hold its line, but is beaten and is bowled through the gate. Balaji picks a five-for. 163/8 62.4 to AB Dinda, Bengal throwing it away here! What a stupid shot by Dinda! short on the off stump and he goes for an ambitious pull, gets a top-edge and S Vidyut at mid-on takes a dolly. Balaji gets his sixth.. 167/9 | ||||||||||

29.5 to MK Tiwary, gone! The sweep brings about his downfall, quicker through the air, pitched on middle and leg, tried to paddle-sweep it down towards fine leg, got the top edge and Suresh Kumar at short fine completed an easy catch. Bengal three down, and they lose their premier batsman. 87/3 33.5 to D Chakrabarty, gone! flighted outside off, plants his front foot outside the line to sweep it wide of square leg, is struck on the pads. The fielders go up and the umpire Hariharan raises his finger. Turns out that's a poor decision, was clearly struck outside the line. However, the pressure has worked and TN are back in this. 95/4 | ||||||||||
