- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.3 shout for a catch behind decision and it's been given. Sehwag shakes his head as he walks off. Not happy at all. It cut in towards the middle stump from short of length, Sehwag was on the hop, trying to work the ball to the on side and the ball clipped the flap of the pad. Did it hit the bat as well? Sehwag doesn't think so. Anyway that's that. Gautam has walked in.HOT spot says there was no bat involved in that. 76/121.3 Danny boy has struck. It landed full on a length, on the middle and Tendulkar went for the sweep but missed it completely. The ball was heading towards middle. Easy decision for Rudy. Vettori is such a good nagging bowler. He rarely gives you anything short, it's mostly full. And he has got his man. 139/226.2 It was full and straight. Gambhir moved to the legside and went for the big slog but the ball ballooned for the sweeper cover to come running in and take it. 166/422.3 And NZ have taken out Yuvraj as well. Moving in that slip has worked. It was a length delivery slanted across the left-hander who stabs it low but straight to Ross Taylor.
