48.5 to Harbhajan Singh, not much doubt about this one, Harbhajan looking to pull and it would have hit middle stump squarely, not much thinking required from the umpire, there. 249/8

47.2 to IK Pathan, slower ball cleans him up, the batsman looks to pull it off the back foot, completely times it wrongly and the ball comes in a touch to take off and middle. 237/6
47.6 to MS Dhoni, chipped out a full ball from in line with middle, doesn't get enough middle on it and Clarke takes a comfortable catch. 240/7
49.3 to P Kumar, low full toss aiming in on leg and the batsman forces out to the covers where Ponting holds on, the ball coming out of the sun, and he lost it for a second. 255/9

0.3 to AC Gilchrist, and he's walked! Praveen Kumar has done the trick again, starts outside off and moving a shade away, tentative poke from Gilchrist and the ball kisses the outside edge on its way to the keeper, big appeal and he is on his way, Praveen can't contain his excitement, dream start for India, Gilchrist walks off to a rousing ovation, probably for the last time in a one-dayer. 2/1
2.3 to RT Ponting, got 'em, now then, now then, short and outside off, Ponting goes for the pull and can't get hold of it, spoons an easy catch to Yuvraj at mid-on, that seemed to stop on him a bit, Yuvraj can't contain his excitement, Kumar is cock-a-hoop, what a start for him, someone must be planning a party in Meerut today. 8/2
8.6 to MJ Clarke, castled! that one kept low and Kumar's straighter one beats Clarke's defences, slightly short of a length, Clarke tries the pull but that ball shoots through, it's straight and rocks back off-stump, big blow for Australia, signs of up and down, India on a roll now. 32/3
46.4 to B Lee, cleans him up this time with the slower one, Lee going for the huge pull across the line and the ball crashes on to the sticks. 228/7
904324.77322120
41.6 to MEK Hussey, width and short outside off and Hussey cuts hard off the back foot, sending through a thick snick of an under edge to Dhoni who took it and started celebrating. 199/6
48.2 to MG Johnson, got him! A big edge through to Dhoni off the back foot, Sreesanth gets another wicket in similar fashion, a short ball way outside off, Johnson goes for the huge pull to midwicket and the under edge slicks through to the keeper. 238/8
8.405426.23244040
49.2 to NW Bracken, full delivery comes in slow on off, Bracken swipes it up to midwicket where a pedalling Chawla runs over and takes it over his head at the second grasp. 247/9
49.4 to JR Hopes, outside off and Hopes drives it up to Chawla at mid-on who takes the catch calmly and India win!. 249/10
1004414.40334010
25.6 to A Symonds, outside off, turns back a fair way and traps Symonds on the pad low and in front of middle and off, the batsman bending over the ball and it would have gone on to take middle. 123/5
