9.5 to NV Knight, short and wide outside the off, instead of the cut Knight pushes at it and ends up playing it wide of the third-slip, Martyn dives to his left and takes a superb catch, Bichel strikes in his first over!. 66/1
11.1 to MP Vaughan, beauty! good length delivery on the off stump line and moving away a touch, Vaughan had to play at it and ends up getting a faint edge, simplest of catch for Gilchrist, Bichel strikes again. 72/2
11.6 to N Hussain, ho god! good length delivery on the middle, moves away this time, Hussain plays all over it, off stump goes for a toss, Bichel gets his third. 74/3
17.5 to PD Collingwood, slashes at the ball as it leaves him, gets a solid edge...well taken. 87/5
42.3 to A Flintoff, attempts a hoik off his feet, mistimed and the ball flies up high over his head.....Gilchrist has plenty of time to get into position and takes a simple regulation catch. 177/6
44.2 to AJ Stewart, Stewart is totally beaten, the ball send the off bail whistling past Gilchrist...Stewart id shocked. 180/7
46.1 to AF Giles, tries to lift the ball over covers, Bevan has a kittle jump in the air and plucks the ball out of the air...it looks as if he is harvesting apples. 187/8
