Over 19.5TT Bresnan to G Gambhir, BOWLED HIM, Gambhir has gone a touch casual now, was looking to drive it on the up through covers, not much of a forward stretch this time and the ball nips back to force an inside edge onto the stumps!
Over 1.1SCJ Broad to V Sehwag, CAUGHT BY KEEPER, this is a rising delivery and Sehwag tries to sway away from it but the ball nips back to kiss the glove and fly straight to the keeper. Broad appeals but doesn't get the decision in his favour. Strauss asks for a review and gets the decision changed! That's a golden duck for Sehwag!
Over 26.2TT Bresnan to RS Dravid, CLEAN BOWLED, that's a beauty and it has India shaken up at 75 for 4 at lunch. It was an Anderson type delivery, angling in and then swinging away late to hit the off stump! Dravid who was looking to get forward was squared up completely around middle and the ball went onto hit the exposed off stump. That's going to be Lunch on Day 1.
Over 22.1SCJ Broad to SR Tendulkar, CAUGHT, tentatively comes half forward, opens the face in defence and edges that straight into the hands of Anderson at third slip! That ball had moved away off the seam with a bit of extra bounce and Sachin played well away from his body!
Over 34.4TT Bresnan to VVS Laxman, CAUGHT, swivels back and pulls the rising delivery wristily in the air with sweet timing but the ball carries straight to the man at deep backward squareleg!!
Over 33.1JM Anderson to SK Raina, CLEAN BOWLED, Raina fails again, this is nicely pitched up around middle and the ball swings away late to bowl him through the gate. Raina was playing slightly along the wrong line in a straight drive not quite covering the late away swing. His frontfoot didn't get across enough to cover the stumps!
Over 61.2SCJ Broad to MS Dhoni, CAUGHT, throws his bat at a widish pitched up delivery and gets a thick edge to the away swinger which is nicely taken by Strauss, the lone slip fielder.
Over 39.3SCJ Broad to A Mishra, CAUGHT BY KEEPER, gets lured into a straight drive by a juicy full delivery which swings away late to take a feather edge to the keeper.
Over 53.3TT Bresnan to PS Kumar, CAUGHT BY KEEPER, attempts a pull shot to a rising delivery around middle and is beaten by pace and bounce. There is an appeal as England think there is a fine edge. Its given not out by the Umpire and Strauss takes a review. Hot spot shows the edge and the decision is changed to end this fighting partnership!
Over 62.2JM Anderson to I Sharma, CAUGHT, that's a fluke catch I think at silly point. Ishant punched that hard on the backfoot but finds Cook at silly point getting hit on the body and he is lucky to convert that into a catch! England have 25 overs to bat today.

Over 55.6A Mishra from round the sticks to AJ Strauss, BOWLED HIM, Strauss makes up his mind early and bends down for a sweep, and its a quicker delivery which brushes the pad and then bowls him round the legs! Strauss had shuffled far too across his stumps in that predetermined shot. Oops replays show that Amit Mishra had overstepped the crease and it should have been a noball but wasn't picked by Umpire Taufel!
Over 188.1I Sharma to AN Cook, CAUGHT, oh dear Cook has missed out on a triple hundred!! Done all the hard work and on 294 slashes a length delivery flat in the air and the ball carries all the way to Raina at deep backward point who tumbles down to take a low catch! England have also declared their innings with that, a lead of 486 runs and leaving India to bat for 11 overs tonight.
Over 70.2PS Kumar to IR Bell, CLEAN BOWLED, Bell is squared up by a length delivery which angled in towards middle but then left him off the seam to knock out the off stump! That was like Dravid's dismissal yesterday!
Over 92.6PS Kumar to KP Pietersen, OUT LBW, KP falls across on the frontfoot in a flick and fails to connect it to get hit on the pad by an inswinger infront of off. The stride wasn't a long way across nor was it fully forward for his liking and Umpire Steve Davis gives the lbw decision in the bowler's favour.
Over 160.5SK Raina to EJG Morgan, CAUGHT, makes room and drives that on the frontfoot inside out and doesn't get the desired elevation to give a straight forward catch to Sehwag at covers who holds onto it.
Over 163.4A Mishra to RS Bopara, OUT LBW, puts in a half stride forward and is hit on the pad by a skidding flat delivery infront of middle and Taufel makes Mishra happy by lifting his finger up.
Over 165.6A Mishra to MJ Prior, CAUGHT, attempts a slog sweep against the turn and gets a top edge which is nicely caught by the running Tendulkar who in the end dives forward to take it from square fine leg.

Over 160.5SK Raina to EJG Morgan, CAUGHT, makes room and drives that on the frontfoot inside out and doesn't get the desired elevation to give a straight forward catch to Sehwag at covers who holds onto it.
Over 13.1JM Anderson to G Gambhir, CAUGHT, gone first ball he faces is Gambhir, dabs at a short away going delivery outside off and gives a regulation catch to Swann at second slip!
Over 0.2JM Anderson to V Sehwag, CAUGHT, Viru bags a king pair on this comeback Test! Its a well pitched up outswinger and Sehwag goes for the flashy cover drive and can only edge it straight to first slip who takes the regulation catch!
Over 15.2JM Anderson to RS Dravid, CAUGHT BY KEEPER, gets half forward and is forced to edge the away swinger to the keeper! Superb bowling, there was just too much pressure on Dravid with plenty of fielders in the slip cordon and Anderson gets everything right with his outswinger! There was surely a nick from Dravid but hot spot doesn't pick it at all! It would have been interesting if Dravid opted to go for a review. Oh dear super slow motion replays reveal that there wasn't any edge and the bat had hit the flying shoe laze of Dravid which could have caused the sound.
Over 28.6GP Swann to SK Raina, OUT LBW, gets forward and just doesn't offer any shot to a slider around middle and thinks there wasn't much to it. However, Umpire Steve Davis gives that out lbw after Swann's appeal and the only thing that could have saved Raina was the height. Raina was only pretending to play a shot and was completely done in by the line.
Over 32.2GP Swann to MS Dhoni, Sachin RUN OUT! Oh dear, MSD gets forward and drives this back to the right of the bowler who deflects it onto the bowling end stumps and Sachin who was backing up is late in getting his bat back in the crease! What a dismissal in a Test Match!
Over 40.5GP Swann to A Mishra, CAUGHT, steps out for a big shot but gets no elevation going against the turn and its a flat hit which is caught by the diving extra covers.
Over 48.2SCJ Broad to PS Kumar, CAUGHT, backs away from his stumps and plays a painful one handed pull to a quick short pitch delivery and can only get a top edge which is caught at square covers.
Over 50.4SCJ Broad to I Sharma, OUT LBW, shuffles back to a length delivery instead of coming forward and is struck on the backpad by an indipper just infront of off over the knee roll. Steve Davis gives that lbw and Ishant isn't convinced. But not a bad decision at all. Replays show that the ball would have gone on top of the off stump and the impact was slightly outside the line of off. So that was a wrong decision from Steve Davis.
Over 55.3TT Bresnan to S Sreesanth, CAUGHT, this is a nasty lifter following him around off and middle and Sreesanth is struck on the glove and the ball flies low into the hands of wide gully! That's all over, England win by an innings and 242 runs to seal the 4-Test Series 3-0 and with that also claim the World No.1 Test Ranking!
Over 0.2JM Anderson to V Sehwag, CAUGHT, Viru bags a king pair on this comeback Test! Its a well pitched up outswinger and Sehwag goes for the flashy cover drive and can only edge it straight to first slip who takes the regulation catch!
