3.1 Ashwin to Lumb, OUT, swept at, missed, strikes the pad and given out lbw it looked pretty adjacent to off stump, he was a reasonable way down with a good stride so maybe it might have gone down with the angle but with a bit of grip it probably would have hit the stumps, a fair enough decision
MJ Lumb lbw b Ashwin 1 (15m 10b 0x4 0x6) SR: 10.00
MJ Lumb lbw b Ashwin 1 (15m 10b 0x4 0x6) SR: 10.00
10.1 Yuvraj Singh to Wright, OUT, floated up and heaved down the ground, didn't get to the pitch and that will be safely pouched at long-off! Wright skipped out and tried to belabour Yuvraj over the fence, came off the toe of the bat and he knew that was going to the fielder as soon as he hit it
LJ Wright c Rahane b Yuvraj Singh 34 (29m 21b 3x4 1x6) SR: 161.90
LJ Wright c Rahane b Yuvraj Singh 34 (29m 21b 3x4 1x6) SR: 161.90
12.2 Yuvraj Singh to Hales, OUT, slides on, Hales plays slightly the wrong line and is bowled! Double strike from Yuvraj, this didn't turn much, Hales advanced for a big ole blow down the ground and effectively played around it to lose middle pole
AD Hales b Yuvraj Singh 56 (52m 35b 7x4 2x6) SR: 160.00
AD Hales b Yuvraj Singh 56 (52m 35b 7x4 2x6) SR: 160.00
4.3 Bresnan to Gambhir, OUT, pulled away, nailed it this time has he, not quite because he finds deep square leg who takes a smart grab with two hands high above his head, the first wicket in international cricket for Bresnan since September. It was banged in short and Gambhir I thought had nailed it off the meat of the bat but he found the fielder
G Gambhir c Hales b Bresnan 16 (23m 16b 3x4 0x6) SR: 100.00
G Gambhir c Hales b Bresnan 16 (23m 16b 3x4 0x6) SR: 100.00
4.6 Bresnan to Rahane, OUT, tries to go over the infield but gets it high on the bat and mid on takes the catch that's a good chance taken retreating by Patel, a slower ball bouncer from Bresnan and Rahane mistimed the stroke badly having come down the pitch and spooned it up in the air
AM Rahane c Patel b Bresnan 19 (25m 13b 0x4 2x6) SR: 146.15
AM Rahane c Patel b Bresnan 19 (25m 13b 0x4 2x6) SR: 146.15
9.6 Wright to Yuvraj Singh, OUT, back of a length ball, swung into the Indian night and taken on the boundary big blow for England. He took a step down the wicket and lifted it off the tow of the bat miles into the air, Meaker held on well at deep square leg
Yuvraj Singh c Meaker b Wright 38 (21m 21b 2x4 3x6) SR: 180.95
Yuvraj Singh c Meaker b Wright 38 (21m 21b 2x4 3x6) SR: 180.95
Two required from 14 balls now...
17.5 Meaker to Dhoni, 2 runs, and it only takes one, Dhoni swings wildly, skews it over the infield towards deep cover, the fielder gives chase but they jog back for two, meaning India win by five wickets with 13 balls to spare
