44.5 Harbhajan Singh to Taylor, OUT, 84.6 kph, Taylor has his hand on his head as he walks back! He can't believe what he has done. Gift-wrapped his wicket, that's what he has done. It was flighted on leg, maybe outside even, and he flicked it straight to short midwicket, one of the two fielders in the circle! Laxman accepts it with glee

49.2 Ojha to McCullum, OUT, 81.0 kph, Ojha has struck! The kind of delivery you need to get wickets on this slow pitch. There is some dip on this ball, which drags McCullum as he looks to defend. Then it turns across the bat face and Dhoni - who has zero glove follow through on collections nowadays - removes the bails, and then sees McCullum's back foot is on the line. McCullum sees that too, and doesn't even wait for the third umpire's decision

63.2 Sreesanth to Ryder, FOUR, 129.6 kph, and that one wide slip has dropped this! At least the fourth catch Rahul Dravid has dropped this year. Including the tour game, I mean. Ryder has been loose last two overs, and he went after this wide delivery. It flew hard and fast to Dravid's right, high too, and he lets it go through his fingers. tough chance, but Dravid has taken much tougher ones. Dravid looks at his finger, Sreesanth is distraught

92.4 Khan to Williamson, no run, 127.4 kph, huge shout for caught-behind! And how was that not given? KW pushes at it away from the body, the angle takes it away, there is a huge noise, and a deflection. Dharmasena remains unmoved. That's a life for KW

117.3 Sreesanth to Ryder, OUT, 130.3 kph, very well bowled to give India something to be pleased about at the end of the day. Ryder is not expecting this to swing at all, but this length delivery pitches around off and straighten, hitting the pad first and then the bat. Rightly given out. Sreesanth's first wicket, ending NZ's second-highest fifth-wicket partnership. Ever
