India Innings

Over 0.5: He is Caught! J Taylor to D Karthik, good length delivery, and this time gets his outswinger to take the outside edge, DK was half forward to that and couldn’t manage to play that out safely.

Over 1.2: He is Caught! Ravi Rampaul to Gambhir, short and wide, goes for a cut shot and can only nick it behind to Ramdin! No footwork at all from Gambhir, he was also a bit late in that shot.

Over 1.4: He is Caught! Ravi Rampaul to R Sharma, pitched up delivery, that’s a lovely outswinger from Rampaul which lures Rohit into a cover drive and the result is a thick edge put down by Ramdin but the ball rebounds straight off his gloves to second slip!!

Over 4.4: Boundary! J Taylor to M S Dhoni, bangs it short, gets on top of the bounce and pulls it away to backward squareleg for a boundary.
