India v New Zealand,2nd Test, Hyderabad, 2nd day

92.5 Khan to Hopkins, OUT, 129.6 kph, Trapped! Hopkins couldn't handle the round-the-stumps angle this time. It came in from outside off stump - it landed close to the off - but he chose to shoulder arms. Mistake. The ball kept coming in and hit his pad. No shot offered. It doesn't matter where it hits him as long as its going to crash into the stumps. Gone!

103.5 Harbhajan Singh to Vettori, OUT, 82.4 kph, Gone this time! It landed on a length on the off and middle and straightened. Vettori went down on his knee and tried to sweep it but didn't connect. It hit him on the back thigh in front of the off stump. Will confirm whether there was any edge post the replays. Replays in: They don't show any edge. That would have hit the off and middle stump line. Vettori didn't look too happy. Was there a thin bottom-edge? The replays don't confirm it We need snicko and hotspot. Snickometer thing in: It doesn't show any edge

109.1 Harbhajan Singh to Ryder, OUT, 83.2 kph, Ryder is gone. New Zealand continue to collapse. It dipped on Ryder who stuttered out to defend and the ball turned to clip the outer edge and went to first slip. Harbhajan signals 'bye bye'! Fine delivery. It came in from round the stumps, dipped in front of the middle and leg line and turned

12.6 Southee to Gambhir, 2 runs, 133.6 kph, good delivery that straightens on the middle stump line and Gambbir stops his front-foot movement and gets the bat around the pad to push it towards mid-on for a single. Vettori fires a direct hit at the striker's end and as the ball rolls clear of the fielders, the batsmen cross over for another run ..

What have we got here!: Sehwag was ambling in to reach his crease when Vettori's throw came in. He walked over the line, feet in the air and his bat was about to (or touched?) the ground when the ball hit the stumps and the bails flew. We need to get the replays from another angle to confirm whether the bat was grounded. The New Zealand players didn't appeal and it wasn't refered to the third umpire. He had just taken a step over the line, and held his bat in his left hand

40.5 Vettori to Sehwag, OUT, 87.5 kph, And he is gone now. He had that trouble with the movement behind the sightscreen, asked some one to move away, and has fallen now. It was a flighted delivery on the middle stump and he went down on his knee for the big slog sweep. Whoosh. The bat went through thin air and the ball went past it to fall on the middle stump. Vettori is pumped up and Sehwag begins his walk-back to the hut.
