    0.2 gone! Nipped off the pitch, a hint of swing, an outside edge and Dhoni does the rest. 0/1
    3.3 but he's on the button this time - very straight, Prior was a long way across his stumps when the ball rapped him. Now then, height could be a factor, and Hawk-Eye has it going over by an inch or so. Nevertheless, he's on his way 20/2

    16.5 he's bowled him! The topper from Piyush and Bell is completely outfoxed. Down on one knee, he tries to smash him over the top but is clean bowled 79/3
    30.2 horrible cricket - Pietersen flaps at a wide ball but doesn't quite get hold of it. He turns for two, but Shah remains rooted to his crease and although Pietersen is stranded nine-tenths of the way towards the other end. An almighty mix-up, but a tidy enough throw 137/5
    17.3 punched out to cover, and they go for a single - this could be a disaster. In comes the throw, Dhoni whips off the bails but the umpires haven't called for a replay. But hold on - drama here - Collingwood, according to the big screen replay, is short of his ground! And after a bit of a delay, and a referral to the TV umpire, Collingwood's given his marching orders by the umpire 83/4

    44.2 punched to mid-on and Wright sets off for a single, but he's timed it very well and mid-on throws down the stumps. The third umpire is called for, and Wright is a few inches short of his ground 243/6

    22.2 got him! A breakthrough for England at last as Ganguly tries to lift Broad over the infield but can only slap it straight to Pietersen at cover 150/1
    25.6 got him! Brilliant catch from Collingwood. Tendulkar stepped outside leg and tried to loft Monty over mid-off, but he didn't get any elevation in the stroke. Collingwood, lurking at mid-off, got both hands to it and pouched a very low, excellent catch 156/2
    40.2 Panesar takes the catch! Huge skier to long-on and Gambhir, giving himself room, backs away but holes out just short of what would have been a fine half-century. Panesar watched that all the way and pointed his finger in the air in serious salute 234/5
    34.2 there's the breakthrough, and what a wicket for England. The ball stops on the pitch and Yuvraj can only pop a return catch back to Mascarenhas, who reacts well in his follow through. He looked fairly startled by that catch, but a vital moment in the game 209/3
    35.5 another huge wicket! And what scalp to get for your first international wicket. Dravid gets a leading edge as he tries to through the leg side and Collingwood takes a fine, low catch diving forward from midwicket....it would have been a wide, down the leg side, if Dravid had left it, but what a day Shah is having 216/4
    47.6 bowled him - Dhoni shuffling over to off to try to sweep it round, but the ball nutmegged him and appeared to get a thin bobble off the inside of his left pad - I'll confirm after replays 294/6

    48.6 gone! Going for the two, Anderson did well to pick up the return from Bell and pick out the striker's end with a direct hit 307/7
    49.2 yorker, dug up there and Broad gets him with a piece of intelligent cricket - how did he keep his cool there? - by beating Zaheer in the sprint back to the non-striker's end and held the ball in his hands all the way 309/8
