Turning Points

India v Australia - turning points

Turning points from the first day of the second Test match being played between India and Australia in Hyderabad

2.2 Kumar to Warner, OUT, Bhuvneshwar you ripper, after that leg side rubbish last ball, he comes up with one that changes course sharply, it was going across the left-hander, short of a length, most would have decided to leave that, but then it jags back in, unfortunately for Warner, the line is bang on off, and Warner gets a fatal inside edge, that is Bhuvneshwar's first Test wicket
DA Warner b Kumar 6 (8b 1x4 0x6) SR: 75.00

4.2 Kumar to Cowan, OUT, Bhuvneshwar on fire, incoming delivery to the left-hander once again, starts across with the angle, and moves in, Marais Erasmus thinks this is hitting the stumps, replays suggest it is, but they also show it pitched just outside leg stump, Cowan caught in front of middle on the defensive push, and done in by the umpire, I don't care how long you haggle over the intricacies of the DRS, get the third umpire to weed out these howlers, and you can carry on with your haggling
EJM Cowan lbw b Kumar 4 (13b 1x4 0x6) SR: 30.76

14.6 Kumar to Watson, OUT, uh oh, Watson's in trouble, he;s seen a rare short of a length delivery, and has immediately gone for the pull, the bounce in this wicket has been largely okay, but not extravagant, this one does not bounce as much as Watson expected, and swings in to knock him on the bent right leg, just above the pad, in front of off stump
SR Watson lbw b Kumar 23 (31b 4x4 0x6) SR: 74.19

21.2 Ashwin to Hughes, OUT, Ashwin strikes, he's conceded a run and is into his sixth over, and has now taken out Hughes, but what a take from Dhoni, on the second attempt, tossed up, good length, middle and off, spins away, Hughes cuts, edges, it pops out of Dhoni;s gloves, but the keeper recovers to throw himself to his left and take the ball even as it comes down
PJ Hughes c †Dhoni b Ashwin 19 (57b 4x4 0x6) SR: 33.33

68.3 Harbhajan Singh to Wade, OUT, Wade has given it away, quite needless, when he had been doing so well, Harbhajan getting some bounce outside off, and Wade has failed to keep the cut down, Bhuvneshwar doing well to dive to his left and end the partnership
MS Wade c Kumar b Harbhajan Singh 62 (144b 8x4 0x6) SR: 43.05

73.5 Jadeja to Henriques, OUT, out of nowhere Jadeja has produced a beauty, flights it into the batsman on leg stump, Henriques forward, but instead of defending straight, he's tried to push it to leg, and unfortunately for him, the ball has spun across the bat face to hit the stumps
MC Henriques b Jadeja 5 (22b 1x4 0x6) SR: 22.72

83.1 Jadeja to Clarke, OUT, Clarke is gone, he tried to attack Jadeja, went down a for a big sweep, missed, and Jadeja, accurate as always, hits the stumps, can't blame Clarke really, with hardly any batting left, he had to do something, and quickly
MJ Clarke b Jadeja 91 (186b 9x4 1x6) SR: 48.92

Doherty is walking back as Australia have declared 237 for 9. They want some overs at India this evening. Clarke will have three overs at India with this declaration. How's that for intent?
