Six and out! this was wider outside the off stump and he tries to repeat the same stroke, gets an inside edge and is bowled, big wicket given his form 20/16.6 gone, out, run-out! shorter in length, he was looking to run it down to third-manand they try to go for the second, chancing Muralitharan's arm, it's a decent throw over the stumps and hes short there! the on-field umpire did not even call the third umpire there! 46/210.1 gone this time, caught at long-on, Yuvi's gone! he was looking good and was going after anything he thought he could, was a short of length ball and wanted to pull it away, does not time it too well this time and it goes straight to the long-on fielder, easily caught 77/310.5 edged and gone!
