BOWLINGOMRWECON0s4s6sWDNB

0.2 to CD McMillan, fuller delivery, on middle and leg, and McMillan shuffles to the off and tries to flick it away to leg, but he cannot keep the shot down on the ground, and the ball accurately finds Harbhajan at square leg inside the circle. 0/1
0.3 to NJ Astle, and another! Zaheer goes up in loud appeal as the ball pitches on middle and leg and straightens, and Astle plays outside the line, misses, and is struck on the pads plumb in front of the stumps, no doubt about that one whatsoever. 0/2
13.4 to BB McCullum, great bowling! Zaheer picks up his 100th ODI wicket in wonderful style, very full, angling on off stump, McCullum drives down the wrong line, through the gate and middle and off are cleaned out. 47/4
28.2 to CZ Harris, and the virtues of being full and straight shown yet again! Zaheer gets this one to pitch just on off and move in a touch to beat Harris' bat and rap him on the pads plumb in front of the stumps!. 96/7
802012.50371030
17.3 to SP Fleming, a big blow for New Zealand, their key man goes, and to a rather poor shot too, trying to smack a short lifting ball across the line, had no width to work with just outside off stump, miscues it straight up to Tendulkar at mid off, he pouches the simplest of catches as it lobs straight up to him, and New Zealand sit on the rather embarrassing score of 60/5 in near ideal batting conditions, a nothing shot from Fleming, he was just looking to take charge again after being forced to settle down after the splurge of wickets at the other end, but picked the wrong ball with which to start the charge. 60/5
1032412.40442001
8.1 to SB Styris, and Nehra breaks through! just as the stand was developing, Nehra gets one to pitch on middle, angled across the bat, and gets movement off the pitch to just kiss the outside edge of Styris' bat and be caught by Dravid in front of first slip. 38/3
1022822.80443000
25.3 to CL Cairns, Cairns tries to essay the powerful cut behind backward point, but this one from Harbhajan gets some extra bounce and bite off the pitch, so the shot is uppish, in the air just long enough for Zaheer at point to take a simple, simple catch!. 88/6
39.6 to DL Vettori, tossed up more this time, inviting Vettori to have a go, and he does, trying to play it across the line to leg and getting an inside edge first onto pad and then into the hands of Ganguly at slip. 129/8
20402.0080000
502004.00172001
21311.5090000
43.2 to JDP Oram, full and straight, and Oram goes for the big hit over midwicket as he must at this stage, the ball taking the inside edge onto his pad and then onto his stumps, giving Sehwag his first wicket of the innings. 144/9
0.10010.0010000
45.1 to DR Tuffey, given just a little air outside the off, and Tuffey tries to drive through the line to long off and plays uppishly, sending the ball just to the left of Mongia, who takes a simple catch. 146/10

4.5 to SR Tendulkar, short and wide yet again, and Tendulkar should have sent this rocketing to the point fence, but he plays the ball in the air, perhaps a touch early, and the ball dips on Oram at point before he dives forward to take a good catch. 21/3
822322.87403021
1.6 to V Sehwag, short and wide, and Sehwag really has no business in chasing after that, but he does, driving from the crease and getting an edge that flies to the left of Styris at second slip for a good catch. 4/1
3.5 to SC Ganguly, superb, simply superb! at 153 kmph, Bond lets rip a full delivery that dips at the very last moment and beats Ganguly's tentative defence, swerving in to hit the base of off-stump. 9/2
