4.5 Umar Gul to Gambhir, OUT, that looks plumb and the umpire agrees. Gul delivers a slower ball, pitching outside off and angling into the left-hander, Gambhir heaves towards the leg side but was beaten by the change of pace. He was hit on the back foot and the impact was quite adjacent. Gul's bounced back from a hammering
G Gambhir lbw b Umar Gul 21 (22m 11b 4x4 0x6) SR: 190.90
6.6 Umar Gul to Rahane, OUT, caught and bowled! Rahane tried to pull a short ball but he was early on the shot and ended up toe-ending it back to Gul for the simplest of catches. It just lobbed back to the bowler. And just like that India's good start has been neutralised.
AM Rahane c & b Umar Gul 28 (31m 26b 4x4 0x6) SR: 107.69
19.2 Umar Gul to Yuvraj Singh, OUT, superbly caught on the straight boundary! Yuvraj stayed in his crease and launched the ball dead straight, Malik ran to his left from long off and caught it just as it was about to clear the boundary. Yuvraj exits to rousing applause from a strong Motera crowd
Yuvraj Singh c Shoaib Malik b Umar Gul 72 (59m 36b 4x4 7x6) SR: 200.00
19.5 Umar Gul to Dhoni, OUT, middle stump is flat on its back. Dhoni tries to run a yorker from just outside off towards third man and plays on. Gul's bowling a terrific final over. Only three runs off the first five balls.
MS Dhoni b Umar Gul 33 (39m 23b 4x4 0x6) SR: 143.47
9.5 Ashwin to Nasir Jamshed, OUT, Ashwin's funny action works! That was much slower and delivered with a bit of a round-arm action. The ball, in the end, was a bit short and a bit wide. Jamshed had to reach for it and ended up connecting with the toe of his bat, giving point a simple catch
Nasir Jamshed c Kohli b Ashwin 41 (38m 32b 4x4 1x6) SR: 128.12
18.2 Dinda to Mohammad Hafeez, OUT, Dinda's bowling a superb spell at the death! He follows up that six-run over with the wicket of Hafeez. He tried to clear the wide long-on boundary but mis-timed the shot. Raina came running in from the boundary and took the catch
Mohammad Hafeez c Raina b Dinda 55 (39m 26b 6x4 3x6) SR: 211.53
19.6 I Sharma to Umar Gul, OUT, caught at deep point! Gul threw his bat at a length ball and sliced it over the infield. Rahane ran in from the deep to hold the catch. India get home by 11 runs to level the series 1-1.
Umar Gul c Rahane b I Sharma 5 (8m 5b 1x4 0x6) SR: 100.00
