18.1 the bowling change works! He tosses it up outside off and there's a bit of extra bounce on this one, a half-hearted dab finds the outside edge and Dhoni and gang know it, Watson walks back for a very decent 49 88/2

7.4 no doubts about that! That was a vicious inswinger screeching towards the pads on a full length, Marsh had to really hurry at the crease to whip it to the on side but he was beaten for pace, the ball strikes the base of the pad and Nehra knows he's got him 24/1

26.5 from Harbhajan Singh, brilliant work by Jadeja! Ponting shuffles and clips it behind square on the on side, one of the fielders (I think Raina) gives the chase but allows Jadeja to gather it as he runs forward from deep square leg, a direct hit at the keeper's end sent Ponting back and it was obvious. Ponting was casual with the first run and he hesitated a bit before taking the second run and that led to his undoing 123/3

44.5 Nehra to Johnson, but this is not slow, full, and no room, he drives it to the right of Nehra, who stretches and fields, finds White backing up too far and he knocks out the stumps to take the big wicket of White 226/6

38.1 and the golden arm strikes for MSD, Hussey looks for his favourite heave-pull, but this is perhaps a touch too full, hence he is hurried into the shot and hits it straight to Ishant Sharma at deep midwicket 196/4

42.4 poor shot from Henriques, an almighty slog sweep, misses the topspinner by a week, and has dragged his foot outside - Dhoni is quick to disturb the stumps 217/5

46.1 bowled him, on target again, fuller than good length, straight, and Johnson looks to make room and run it down to third man, he misses it and the middle stump accepts it 236/7

47.1 Kumar to Hauritz, well Prakash, Manou is indeed a dead man now in the context of this innings, another run-out here. The slower ball is hit back to Praveen, and Manou is eager to get to strike and has backed up almost half way, and it's an easy direct hit for PK who has all the time in the world to aim and hit 241/8

49.2 Kumar to Hauritz, the first bit of ordinary fielding is compensated for immediately, Hauritz makes room but manages a limp loft to extra cover, where Yuvraj drops a dolly. Hauritz, meanwhile, wants two, and Yuvraj's throw is accurate, and Praveen runs out Bollinger, the fourth run-out of the innings 250/10
