Shastri - the pitch looks lot whiter unlike the last match which looked watered down.

Dhoni wins the toss and India will bat first

India: Yuvraj in for Karthik

[iZeeshan]

Shot! Huge crowd! Runs away thru covers for 4.

 

[jackal786]

Lee started sledging right after 1st ball.

 

[12thMan]

Ian Chappel surprised with "consistent" Paksitan

 

[12thMan]

[jackal786]

groin injury while running i think.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Sehwag trying to pull a Nazir with a runner

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Gambhir's calling is all over the place

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

7-0

1.4

They are really sledging Gambhir

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Outside edge down to third man for a single to Gautam

8-0 1.5

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Hesitant running again by Sehwag's runner, Rohit Sharma but a quick single taken anyway

9-0 after 2 overs

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Sehwag getting more stapping around his thigh and really holding up proceedings which Aussie's are visibly not liking.

Lee to continue

 

[harrybeg]

Sehwag hurt himself r is it a plan ?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

90 mph short one banged into Sehwag by Lee followed by more trashtalking

 

[harrybeg]

Bret Lee fired up , bowling really really fast

 

[harrybeg]

well fielded by simmons full of agression

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Sehwag hurt himself r is it a plan ?

He looks like he has strained his groin/upper thigh area. Doesn't look "planned" or anything.

Good accurate bowling by Lee. Three dot balls so far

9-0 2.3

 

[dirk diggler]

aussies keepin it tight

 

[harrybeg]

Asad Rauf the umpire Hmmm ...

 

[harrybeg]

Great running , good understanding between the batsman

 

[harrybeg]

10 from 2.4 overs

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Another good quick single. There is a definite plan here agnst Sehwag to keep bowling it into his rib area

 

[harrybeg]

Ah so close to hit the srump balled by lee to gambir

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Inside edge saves Gambhir from a lbw

10-0 2.5

 

[harrybeg]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Excellent over, only one off it.

10-0 from 3

 

[harrybeg]

3 overs gone bracken l;eft hand fast medium to bowl ..

 

[harrybeg]

GREAT GREAT fielding so solid ,

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

India really being choked out here by Aussies. They are not giving sehwag or gambhir any room.

Sehwag drives it hard through mid on but a great stop by mitchell johnson to reduce the shot to a single

 

[harrybeg]

5 chances for for run outs missed ...

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Sehwag is really struggling with his injury

 

[jackal786]

Very aggressive. Durban pitch is much more suitable for OZ under lights. Lee is ultra aggressive.

 

[harrybeg]

India off too a SHAKT start

 

[harrybeg]

4 by gambir

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Good drive there through point region for 4 by Gambhir

15-0

 

[harrybeg]

15-0 from 3.4 overs bracken bowling

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Aussie have a very attacking field here, no singles to be given away.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Outside edge for 4 by gambhir through slip region.

[harrybeg]

Great running

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Another single to sehwag played down into fine leg region.

Next ball, sharp single by gambhir after dabbing down the ball

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

They just keep bowling into sehwag's ribcage and he just has no answers

 

[harrybeg]

Leading wkt takers Afridi then Clark , RP sing at 8 place

 

[purplehaze]

65 in first 10 overs, 115 in next 10 would do the trick for India

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

22-0 4.4

no width at all offered

 

[harrybeg]

Great Ling and Length By Clark And Fielding Good cricket

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

65 in first 10 overs, 115 in next 10 would do the trick for India

doesn't look like a 180 pitch to me. A score around 160-170 is a very good one from what I see

 

[12thMan]

Clark bowling good again

 

[harrybeg]

Pull Shot By Gambir
