India v New Zealand,1st Test, Ahmedabad, 5th day

Prasanna Jayawardene looks on as Harbhajan Singh swings AFP

42.4 Martin to Harbhajan Singh, 1 run, 129.6 kph, run-out chance! Vettori is down on his back in disappointment full ball, driven wide of mid-off, calls for a single, has to run around Martin, and is short by a long way. And Vettori's throw from mid-off is wide by a long way too

44.3 Martin to Harbhajan Singh, FOUR, 131.4 kph, incredible! Brave shot. Kiwis are bemused. There is short cover, there is short extra, about 10 feet apart at max, and Harbhajan drives away from body, on the up, and through that gap

47.3 Vettori to Harbhajan Singh, no run, 75.2 kph, some bounce there! McCulum at silly point got a touch there! This one was slow, and bounced as he went to defend, taking the outside half of the bat, dying to the right of McCullum, who stood up a second too early, and could get down fast enough

49.6 Vettori to Laxman, no run, 76.7 kph, nearly a return catch, another wristy straight drive, it goes in the air, but falls just short of Vettori

59.4 Martin to Harbhajan Singh, FOUR, 130.7 kph, short and wide, throws his arms at it, and clears gully. Just about, but that is four more runs. Laxman goes up, pats his back, and has some more advice for him
