0.4 to Sehwag, bowled him, first real full delivery, it swings, Sehwag is caught at the crease and beaten by the inswing, and off and middle are hit. This is a similar dismissal to that in Delhi, same combination: Sehwag b Johnson. Full, swinging in, gate created, stumps pegged back 7/1
0.6 to Gambhir, oh Mitch you beauty, another off stump knocked out, full, swinging, pitching off, holding its line, Gambhir closes the bat face, looking to play it to on, and the off stump goes for a walk 7/2
8.6 to Raina, tame dismissal, but what field placement, length ball, around middle, and Raina plays in front of his body. it stopped a touch on him, and he lobs the flick to the superbly placed short mid-on 27/5

5.1 to Tendulkar, superb reflex, the little big man is gone, caught and bowled. This is not even a slower ball, 131ks, Tendulkar is early into the front-foot shot, it stops a touch on it, takes the inside half of the bat and Bollinger reacts fast to take it with both hands. This was not even bowled cross-seam, and was dragged from outside off to Bollinger 23/3
7.6 to Yuvraj Singh, bowled him, freak dismissal, Yuvraj is bemused when he crosses Dhoni. Back-of-a-length delivery, hits the pad, bounces over his right shoulder, topspins, Yuvraj while trying to get his bat back in the crease gets a faint touch from the back of bat onto the stumps, the bail trickles over. Australia all over India 24/4
30.1 to Dhoni, and he strikes first ball! Dhoni is not happy! This is pitched within stumps, and there is no swing, hence missing the off stump, if not by much. Dhoni is not pleased with the call, but he was gone earlier, caught behind to the same bowler, but was not given 75/6
30.3 to Harbhajan Singh, consecutive duck for Harbhajan, played on, India are crumbling now, back of a length, got slightly big on him, Harbhajan gets an inside edge into the middle stump 75/7
44.1 to Jadeja, and he strikes first ball again. That's his five-for. premeditated pull, clears his front leg but it's too full and ends up lobbing a simple catch to midwicket. End of a fighting knock 149/8

47.4 to Nehra, Nehra, after playing sensibly for a considerable period of time, plays an ugly across-the-line-swipe as opposed to giving PK the strike. Misses, and the middle stump is hit 170/9
47.6 to Patel, Munaf plays the dab again, Watson is bang on off stump this time, and Munaf misses. India are bowled out, with PK playing well, but with two overs still to go 170/10
