36.5 to SK Raina, Caught by the diving Collingwood at backward point. Dipping low full toss outside off, Raina slices it to right of Colly who dives to take it. India have lost their third wicket.. 242/3
1007527.502711120
37.3 to YK Pathan, 141.4 kmph short pitched delivery and YK Pathan pulls it weakly to midwicket. India 247 for 4.. 247/4
47.1 to MS Dhoni, cleaned up. Full, straight, on the middle, Dhoni shapes to whip it across the line, misses and the middle stump is knocked back.. 352/5

19.5 to G Gambhir, England have got their first wicket. Gambhir came down the track and chipped it to left of long-off. He didn't hit it hard, just sort of chipped it and couldn't find the distance. I didn't notice it but SMG on air says, "Sehwag gave him a mouthful for not hitting it hard!" There you go. Simple policy.. 127/1
23.6 to V Sehwag, Bell takes a beauty at midwicket to get rid of the imperious Sehwag. England strike back. Sehwag is down the track but ends up dragging his big heave to the right of midwicket. Bell flung himself to his right and picked the ball inches off the turf. Supremely athletic effort. Great to watch. Entertaining innings comes to an end.. 153/2

4.5 to OA Shah, Good catch by Sehwag, diving to his left at first slip. Zaheer hurled it full and across Shah, who was squared up completely and got a thickish edge; the ball flew to left of Sehwag, standing wide, and he did well to lunge to his left to take the catch. England are wobbling here at Rajkot.. 17/2
10.3 to IR Bell, edged and taken! Zaheer angles one wider across Bell, who cannot resist having a nibble when he sees width and succeeds in getting a nick to an ecstatic Dhoni, England three down. 34/3
10.6 to A Flintoff, two in the over! Now Flintoff departs to one that pitches on a length just outside leg stump and striking him on the knee roll to hit him in front of middle stumps ... he's given out but thats a harsh call from the umpire. 38/4

3.2 to MJ Prior, Munaf gets the first wicket. Prior is back. It was slanted across Prior who was sucked into the chase and edged it to first slip where Sehwag held on.. 12/1
402516.25144020
17.4 to PD Collingwood, And facebook arguments might get difficult today for the Englishmen. From round the stumps, RP gets one to straighten a touch outside off and Collingwood has a lame poke at it. Gone!. 76/5
3.4041111.1853300
37.4 to JM Anderson, Game over. Fired in full and straight, Anderson misses the attempted paddle. Hawk eye suggets it would have turned and missed the off stump. India have won by 158 runs.. 229/10
906817.55191520
35.3 to SCJ Broad, Again too much elevation and it drops into Gambhir's hands at long-on. Eight wickets down. Bopara now, no one is going to argue hopefully, left with tail enders. 195/8
804715.87204100
26.1 to SR Patel, Done in by the doosra. Patel charged down. Panic. Desperate swing. Air. Death knell. Patel couldn't reach the pitch of the ball, tried to chase it as it turned away but couldn't connect. Harbhajan signals bye bye to him.. 147/6
