India vs South Africa, 1st ODI at Jaipur, Feb 21 2010 - Ball by Ball Commentary

and India pull it off! Parnell makes room and the ball flies to third man off the toe of the bat, Sreesanth fires the throw wide of Dhoni who stretches and breaks the stumps, Parnell goes for the second but cannot make it in time, Dhoni and the rest know they've prevailed and they wait for confirmation from the third umpire

It's called a wide! Wide outside off from round the wicket, Parnell cannot reach outm Dhoni applauds his bowler and his expression changes, the security come rushing out thinking the game's over

drops the slower ball short down the leg side and he swivels and pulls wide of short fine leg, Sachin does his best to dive at long leg to save it, the third umpire takes a look after Sachin pulls it back, close call, very close call, after a hundred replays it's not declared a boundary

another slower ball, from round the wicket, Parnell makes room and only manages an inside edge to short fine leg

he gets an inside edge to the on side, cramped for room and Parnell has the strike

timber! The leg stump is flattened! Praveen bowls the leg cutter, Steyn waltzes down the pitch and tries to mow it over the on side, swings too early because of the change of pace, looked back to see the deforestation behind him

Parnell cleverly drops it down to point for a single to give Steyn the strike

Nehra gets away for a high full toss outside off, the batsman makes room and swings and misses, a tough would have sent it to third man for a four

there's more! India are sweating here, Steyn backs away from the stumps and swings and shovels it just over wide long-on

makes room and swings to the on side but Nayar saves a couple of runs! Good dive

full on the stumps and he drives firmly but Tyagi's there at cover to cut it off

maximum! This is getting interesting, Parnell stays at the crease and scoops a pitched up delivery over long-off, clean hit! 19 off 10 game on folks

full on the off stump and driven down the ground to long-off

cleverly played! He knew there was no slip and he exploited that gap, sways back and deftly angles it wide of Dhoni, now they need 26 off 2 overs

makes room and pushes it down to mid-off and Steyn sets off but scampers back

now Parnell finds the gap, he swivels to club a good length delivery on middle stump, there's nobody patrolling deep midwicket

full delivery and pushed to long-on

makes a bit of room and goes for broke, the ball sliced high and hard off the face of the bat and finds the vacant areas at deep cover

swings and misses and the ball hits his thigh, quite high and you can't give those out

chips it in the air but the ball drops short of the long-on fielder
