38.4 Hilfenhaus to Vijay, no run, 138.0 kph, run out missed Again another risky tip-and-run stuff from Vijay. It was the bouncer around off and he pushes it to left of covers for a single. He keep s running, Tendulkar took couple of steps before he realised he was never going to get across in time and sends Vijay bac.k, Vijay turns and had given up on the ghost. Hauritz was the fielder but his throw was wide of the stumps. Could he have perhaps thrown it to Paine who was rushing in? And yes replays in: If he hauritz had thrown it to Paine, who was beside the stumps, he could have run out Vijay who was not even in the frame. Hauritz had his back turned to the stumps when he picked the ball ,., he swung around and fired the throw.. he wasn't sure how far the batsman was away and stuff
61.5 Hilfenhaus to Vijay, 1 leg bye, 119.7 kph, Loud shout for lbw Hilfy can't believe it has been turned down. Looked very close. It was the slow offcutter and Vijay was beaten by the "turn" and was hit right in front. It would have hit the middle stump. It looked pretty adjacent. Plumb in fact.
69.1 Hilfenhaus to Vijay, no run, 138.0 kph, Is it a drop catch by Paine? dropped indeed Very tough. It was banged in short and it cut to the rib cage .. Vijay pokes at it and it goes of the gloves ( I think) and Paine goes diving down the leg side .. as he landed the ball I think fell on to the ground and he turned over ... My colleague Madhu says he thinks Paine held on and caught it. In that case it's a surprise why neither the bowler or the keeper appealed. They are not showing the replay of it .. I am sure it went of the gloves. Hmmm. Chaos. No proper replay of it at all.Update: It was a "drop". The ball spilled from his gloves and fell to the ground ."
100.3 Johnson to Vijay, OUT, 139.5 kph, Australia get a wicket. Finally. Mitch breaks through. It was from round the stumps and it was the short-of-length delivery outside off stump. Vijay has a waft; he tries to force it through cover point and gets a thin nick. Madhu: "The 308 run stand is the 2nd highest 3rd wicket stand against Australia level with Viv Richards and Richie Richardson." What a partnership this has been for India. And a special day for Vijay who made his maiden ton today.
115.3 Clarke to Raina, OUT, 90.6 kph, Just before this delivery Ricky Ponting ( I can't confirm whether the bowler told him) brought the long-on inside the circle. Raina decides to take up the challenge. He rushed down the track for the big hit to long-on but he dragged it straight to mid-on where Hilfenhaus threaten to spill it but managed to hold on.
