00:00:00Shannon Power with Agharka, Pathan and Patel looking after the scene bowling department.
00:00:04The batting, of course, for India, as usual, highly intimidating.
00:00:07For England, Joyce, Lewis and Clark were the ones that missed out from the squad of 14.
00:00:12And all of the interest really was on the batting order.
00:00:15Flintoff was at three and Yardi at four.
00:00:19Here then is the action from the England innings.
00:00:21The first ball to Andrew Strauss.
00:00:35A little bit of swing away from the left-handed batsman.
00:00:39Good area.
00:00:41That's what India will be looking for.
00:00:44The opening bowl is to set the tone initially.
00:00:46And you'll be aware that England will be really looking to come at them hard up front.
00:00:51Try and score in the 15 overs.
00:00:54Fairly standard field being set by Captain Dravid.
00:00:58Two slips in place.
00:01:00Ball swinging away from the left-hander.
00:01:02That would be very interesting for me, that batting line-up.
00:01:23Good to see Flintoff up the order.
00:01:25I personally would have put him at maybe four and Peterson at three.
00:01:29But Coach Duncan Fletcher is a thinking man's coach.
00:01:33And he'll have an idea, he'll have a theory of bringing Yardi up.
00:01:40Yes, just pumped into him at the presentation about ten minutes ago.
00:01:43And you get the feeling he's really excited to be back on the park, away from injuries.
00:01:48He's trained really hard.
00:01:49And he said he's really looking forward to this.
00:01:55The conditions are good for players.
00:01:58It may be hot, but it's not that humid.
00:02:00That's good running.
00:02:15The call was quick.
00:02:16Even though he was on the back foot when he played it.
00:02:22Really good start for Ian Bell.
00:02:24A solid block.
00:02:25A really cool one.
00:02:27Ian Bell doesn't normally open the batting in one-day cricket.
00:02:29But he does bat three.
00:02:32And therefore, by the nature of that, he will be used to the new ball.
00:02:36Used to batting early on in the innings.
00:02:37And used to batting with Andrew Strauss.
00:02:40It takes time to develop a partnership sometimes.
00:02:43But they will have batted together on many occasions.
00:02:45And now he's looking to play across.
00:02:57Always dangerous against the left-armor when he's getting the ball to swing in.
00:03:00Just playing back in to the right-hander.
00:03:11Pitting on.
00:03:13Quite high there.
00:03:17Seems like he looks a little bit more bounce in this wicket.
00:03:19And carry.
00:03:29Lovely shot.
00:03:34Just pulled back inside the boundary.
00:03:39Bell will get three and he'll be happy with that shot of his.
00:03:43Good timing.
00:03:44Just waited on the ball.
00:03:48Great position here for me and Bell.
00:03:51Using the pace of the ball.
00:03:52Good stride to the ball.
00:03:54Getting out of the crease.
00:03:56And just caressing it through the offside.
00:03:58I'm really hoping the England players are going to look to play as straight as possible early on in the innings.
00:04:07We saw in the couple of the qualifying games.
00:04:10We saw early dismissals.
00:04:11Pulled shots.
00:04:12Balls keeping low.
00:04:13LBWs.
00:04:16I'm sure the way to go here is to try and hit as straight as possible.
00:04:20That's Hedges.
00:04:21Then past second slip and into the boundary.
00:04:23Strauss just tripping down the track to upset Irfan Pothan.
00:04:35Like to see this.
00:04:36I know it was a bit edgy.
00:04:37But Strauss when he uses his feet looks to attack the bowler.
00:04:40He gets in good positions.
00:04:43Okay.
00:04:43A little bit streaky.
00:04:44Got away with it this time.
00:04:45He's trying to play it straight.
00:04:49I like the game plan.
00:04:50He's going to need to be proactive as well in the first 15 overs.
00:04:57Well a big crowd here today.
00:05:02And Bollywood in attendance.
00:05:05Very pretty Priyanka Chopra.
00:05:06Out here to support, I would believe, the home team.
00:05:23And next to her, well a man who needs no introduction in this part of the world.
00:05:27Khan is the surname.
00:05:30Shahrukh the first name.
00:05:31That's close.
00:05:40A step low.
00:05:41And the finger has gone up.
00:05:44So Patel strikes for India.
00:05:49Ian Bell, the man dismissed.
00:05:53And India have drawn first blood.
00:05:56Well Ian Bell didn't look happy with this.
00:05:58Fairly straight.
00:06:06Not much swing.
00:06:07Fairly straight.
00:06:08Is it height?
00:06:08Height may be the only option.
00:06:11Certainly appears straight enough.
00:06:13There has been some bounce in the wicket.
00:06:15But Darrell Harper deciding it is going to hit.
00:06:18Ian Bell on his way.
00:06:19Just four runs off seven.
00:06:22And now ten for one.
00:06:23The England captain comes out to the middle.
00:06:35I say no.
00:06:39Now the reason why he's there is because Ian Bell was dismissed a little while earlier.
00:06:44Got to take a look at the height here.
00:06:46Snipping back.
00:06:49Hit on the roll.
00:06:51And what Darrell Harper had to decide was whether that ball was going to hit the stumps or go over.
00:06:58Rules in favor of the bowler.
00:07:01And Hawkeye thinks otherwise.
00:07:04That delivery from Ian Bell might have been a touch high.
00:07:15That one to Andrew Flintoff.
00:07:17Might have been a touch low.
00:07:18It does definitely look like it's going over the stumps.
00:07:28Hawkeye suggesting it was as well.
00:07:31And Ian Bell just doesn't seem quite happy with it.
00:07:35I think he knew that it hit him above the knee roll.
00:07:39It's been a solid start.
00:07:41Some good blocks.
00:07:42Some good strides.
00:07:44We all tend to think of Andrew Flintoff as almost a large and life character.
00:07:50Everything he does, he does well.
00:07:52But he's been out of the game for a long time.
00:07:56He will be feeling his way a little bit.
00:08:00He's also got a tremendous amount of responsibility on him in this tournament.
00:08:03And during the winter, taking on the captain's seat.
00:08:09I think he's been out of cricket for so long.
00:08:11He's got a lot on his mind.
00:08:14And he previously kept in England four times in one day internationals.
00:08:19And here's his stats.
00:08:20Three hundreds.
00:08:22Well, wouldn't England love to see him get a hundred here?
00:08:26Strike rate of 89.
00:08:28Scores very quickly.
00:08:29Now, that's close.
00:08:33Yes, it looked out.
00:08:37But Tan is thrilled as punch as are the supporters here.
00:08:43This is a double blow for England and a big wicket gone.
00:08:47Andrew Flintoff on his way back to the pavilion.
00:08:50Much needed practice in the middle.
00:08:54Much needed time in the middle has come to an end.
00:08:56Andrew Flintoff.
00:08:58LBW to Pathan.
00:08:59One that just comes back.
00:09:01And it's just on the roll.
00:09:03It does look out.
00:09:04Pathan celebrates in style.
00:09:07Off he runs.
00:09:11Travid realise just how important that is as well.
00:09:15Andrew Flintoff.
00:09:16Now for nought.
00:09:17England now 11 for two.
00:09:18Disappointment for England and Andrew Flintoff.
00:09:48Going for nought.
00:09:51Really struggling to impose themselves in the early overs.
00:09:55Has to be said due to some very fine bowling from India.
00:10:08What I like about India today is the way they've come out.
00:10:13There's energy there in the field.
00:10:14And the bowlers have been right on the button.
00:10:20Straight away.
00:10:23And I like the look of this Indian side as well.
00:10:26Good balance.
00:10:27Good composition.
00:10:28England have struggled.
00:10:39They've lost a couple of early wickets.
00:10:42Pathan causing problems.
00:10:45Causing problems for Flintoff.
00:10:46Just one that crept back into the right-hander and just hitting leg stumped.
00:10:53Soren Torfell umpire and decided Flintoff had to go.
00:10:59Three slips in place.
00:11:00A good move here by Rahul Dravid.
00:11:02The wrist swing there for Pathan.
00:11:06He realises there's an opportunity here to put England under further pressure.
00:11:10Good captaincy.
00:11:15Rahul Dravid just mentioned three slips.
00:11:17And this ball is still continuing to swing.
00:11:22Move away from the left-hander and carry.
00:11:24Good bounce.
00:11:25Doni the keeper taking it above the chest region.
00:11:28And then going past the outside edge.
00:11:43Genuine swing here for Pathan.
00:11:46And he's at his best when he can do this with the new ball.
00:11:52Great position of the seam.
00:11:58Yeah.
00:11:58Tricky conditions to bat under.
00:12:01Credit to the Indian bowlers.
00:12:11Should get two.
00:12:15That is a lot better.
00:12:18Yardy.
00:12:21Off the mark.
00:12:26Make Michael Yardy feel a whole lot better.
00:12:28Just a little angled bat through the cover region.
00:12:31And good running.
00:12:33England need more of that.
00:12:34They'll be scampering.
00:12:35They do run well as a team.
00:12:36Two runs comfortably taken.
00:12:46Two runs comfortably taken.
00:12:47Very important that Patel focuses on where he's going to bowl and not be worried about what Yardy is doing.
00:12:59Can be off-putting to a bowler.
00:13:01Standing way outside the leg stump.
00:13:03Then walking across.
00:13:04He's got to target the stump he's going to bowl as a bowler.
00:13:09Another one for India.
00:13:20And he took a good hard look there Darryl Harper.
00:13:23The important thing there was did the ball pitch in line of the leg stump.
00:13:2817 for three England.
00:13:37More wickets falling for England's top order.
00:13:40And Patel right on the button again.
00:13:44Looks straight.
00:13:45Has it pitched on?
00:13:46It's the only issue for me.
00:13:51Something looked like it was going to hit the stumps.
00:13:57Darryl Harper deciding it has pitched on.
00:14:00Michael Yardy out for four.
00:14:02England now 17 for three.
00:14:03Kevin Peterson comes out to the center.
00:14:12The England top order has been rocked by the Indian opening bowlers.
00:14:19And here's a man with tremendous ability.
00:14:2239 matches.
00:14:23He's had a great start to his career.
00:14:27It's an outstanding record in one-day internationals.
00:14:31Darryl is the average good with a strike rate superb.
00:14:33Oh, that's a nervous book.
00:14:46Well, Peterson's at the crease.
00:14:49Because Yardy was dismissed.
00:14:51And it looks like it's just pitched in line according to Hawkeye.
00:14:55And just hitting the top of off middle stump.
00:14:58And Patel celebrates a good decision from Darryl Harper.
00:15:03Well, all's not lost for England supporters whilst that man is at the crease.
00:15:19I mean, quite exceptional start to his England career in both one-day and test matches.
00:15:27Aggressive play will look to take a game to the opposition bowlers.
00:15:32And even in this situation at 17 for three, try and play his own game.
00:15:36And that's the way he must go.
00:15:37He's off the mark with a single.
00:15:47And it's another good over for India.
00:15:49Eight overs have been bowled in England.
00:15:5318 for three.
00:15:54A little bit of swing.
00:16:00And a good single but a little bit of swing first up for Aghaka.
00:16:04Very good start.
00:16:05Well, if you can get that ball to swing, you take the pitch out of the equation.
00:16:13It doesn't matter whether it's a dead pitch or not, whether it's a batting pitch or not.
00:16:16Certainly that ball swung back late.
00:16:19In the end, well managed by Andrew Strauss.
00:16:22He's looking hard at the ball.
00:16:23Made sure that he got a bit of stick onto it.
00:16:27It's coming back for two, Peterson.
00:16:41Tests everything in a hurry.
00:16:47Really went hard at that one, Kevin Peterson.
00:16:51Saw the width, went after it, even though footwork wasn't great.
00:16:55But he just extended his arms, really, to meet the ball.
00:16:59Ran well to come back for the second.
00:17:01This is where England will be good, running between the wickets.
00:17:09They're a good professional unit.
00:17:17Batan again.
00:17:20Gone!
00:17:21Yes!
00:17:22Batan's on fire.
00:17:23A great catch by Dravid.
00:17:29The fifth time Batan's got Strauss out.
00:17:33He advanced down the track.
00:17:34But now he advances to the pavilion.
00:17:38Good cricket from India.
00:17:39Very good cricket in fact.
00:17:41Irfan Batan got it absolutely right here.
00:17:43Just as his length, because the batsman was threatening to come down the track and look at this catch.
00:17:47Easily taken by Rahul Javid.
00:17:53And England sink further.
00:17:57Andrew Strauss leaves the crease for 10.
00:17:59England, four down now for just 27.
00:18:01What a precarious position for Paul Collingwood to come in to.
00:18:1227 for four.
00:18:15Strike rate of 74.
00:18:19Replacing Andrew Strauss.
00:18:20Beautiful piece of bowling.
00:18:25I say that, even though the ball was not swinging a great deal.
00:18:29Nicely driven by Paul Collingwood, but Irfan Patan adjusted the length perfectly.
00:18:37Saw the batsman coming down.
00:18:41Did not panic.
00:18:43There you see, almost a half trigger had Andrew Strauss been staying in his crease, but he adjusted it.
00:18:48And the job was done by Rahul Javid.
00:18:53Good cricket from India.
00:18:57Came at a nice height to Rahul Javid.
00:19:00Good clean catch.
00:19:05Rolling to Peterson.
00:19:08Just wide of mid-arm.
00:19:13Seemed to pick up paces and headed to the crowd.
00:19:18Sensational shot there.
00:19:19And Peterson has to do this.
00:19:21They have to score when it gets into their zones.
00:19:24Patan for once.
00:19:25Probably getting on the middle leg stump.
00:19:28And Peterson loves to hit to the leg side.
00:19:31Strong man.
00:19:42Through the leg side.
00:19:43Peterson and Collingwood have obviously had a chat, and they've talked about walking down the wicket to the cricket bowlers to take the LB out.
00:20:03But if you do that, you've still got to be nice and balanced once the ball's released.
00:20:08And Collingwood is balanced and just helps it on his way through the leg side.
00:20:13Oh, whip them away.
00:20:19Lovely pick-up stroke.
00:20:24Kevin Peterson.
00:20:28Power again from Peterson.
00:20:29Walks at Agarca so he can hit to his favourite leg side.
00:20:37It was the slow ball.
00:20:39Agarca's got an off-cutter slow ball.
00:20:42No loop on it.
00:20:44Peterson picks.
00:20:45And hits safely to the leg side.
00:20:47Doni's still staying back.
00:20:54Again, finding the gap.
00:20:56Is it just to the right of Mid-Arm?
00:21:07Agarca.
00:21:08Just a change in the field as well.
00:21:16We saw Peterson last over.
00:21:21With the fine leg back is now forced backwards square.
00:21:26Which we'll try and get onto now.
00:21:28To the man out there, who's just about on the fence.
00:21:31Just to take that risk out of Peterson walking down to Agarca
00:21:37and just bringing his hands to the leg side.
00:21:42There he goes again.
00:21:44Getting it fine of that man.
00:21:46And fine enough to get a boundary.
00:21:49This one decontrols better.
00:21:51And really Agarca's got to sort that line out.
00:21:54No, it's bad bowling.
00:21:56India on top.
00:21:58Want to get the momentum continually your way.
00:22:00But he's going wide at the crease.
00:22:01And he's starting on leg stump.
00:22:04So Peterson can hit it as fine as he wants.
00:22:09Needs to get back outside off stump
00:22:11and force him to hit through that offside field
00:22:13where he's got four fielders there.
00:22:18Got to get just a little bit more bounce.
00:22:21If he can.
00:22:25Heavily fortified cover field.
00:22:28Gets this one right.
00:22:30Well, he's a wicket take
00:22:31and I just feel like he's trying to get an LB every ball.
00:22:34If he can get more percentage balls outside off stumps
00:22:37so Peterson has to hit on the up.
00:22:39If he hits the odd one through, well, that's a good shot.
00:22:42But he's taking a risk.
00:22:43And you have four fielders on the offside, potential catches.
00:22:48Then every now and again you'll dart the ball in for an LBW.
00:22:51Off the back foot.
00:23:05Superb shot by Peterson.
00:23:07He's such a tall, strong man.
00:23:08He's walking down.
00:23:09Two men out here.
00:23:12Gets a bit, forces him to go a bit wider.
00:23:16And he's so strong when he punches through the offside.
00:23:19Yeah, he's earned that stroke.
00:23:21He's walked at the bowlers for the last few overs.
00:23:23Here he stays back.
00:23:30Edge.
00:23:31And he's got him.
00:23:34Satsun Tendulka accepts the catch gleefully.
00:23:38The plan's worked.
00:23:40Fantastic piece of bowling.
00:23:42Good hands by Tendulka.
00:23:44But hands up for Roald Ravitz captaincy as well.
00:23:47The easy thing would have been when Peterson was looking to dominate
00:23:49to take out the slip.
00:23:51Try and save you four runs.
00:23:54But Peterson has just helped it on his way.
00:23:57Tendulka safe at first slip.
00:23:59And that's a massive wicket for the Indian team.
00:24:03Peterson, a dominant batsman.
00:24:06Out for 27.
00:24:07Scores 55 for 5.
00:24:09It's been a tough 18 overs for the English side.
00:24:1855 for 5.
00:24:20Enter Jamie Dalrymple.
00:24:23Hasn't played a lot.
00:24:26Goodish average.
00:24:27And strike rate fine as well.
00:24:32Plays forward solidly.
00:24:35Two slips in.
00:24:35A successful over for Patel.
00:24:3819 overs gone.
00:24:39155 for 5.
00:24:44Just a shot of the last dismissal.
00:24:48Peterson, I suppose when you are walking at the bowler,
00:24:52you're always hitting the ball.
00:24:54And it's sometimes hard to get out of that tempo.
00:24:57And he has really just helped that.
00:24:58That was like hitting a slips catch at training.
00:25:00go.
00:25:01And another.
00:25:09Ysasz, he's at the go.
00:25:12Yufraat Singh looks like he's going to get some overthrows.
00:25:15It'll be 4 of them.
00:25:15five
00:25:24yes they cross a five signals
00:25:28by Darryl Harper just a little push
00:25:32and you're rising is a left-handed natural left-hander gets
00:25:35the right angle on the ball picks up and throws sidearm
00:25:42some lovely cricket good cricket all around not very often you get off a
00:25:47nought with a five do you
00:25:56and again piercing the field six men inside the circle another boundary
00:26:08once again is such a busy player agarca angling into the pads
00:26:14this college just a punch
00:26:17didn't really roll his wrist too much
00:26:21just beautifully balanced beautifully times rewarded with four runs
00:26:27movement in the air seems to be deserting
00:26:30budget agarca here so he has to use the pitch more
00:26:39well they always run wickedly quickly when they go fine
00:26:43it's an amazing bowler agarca just when you think nothing's happening and he's on a
00:26:46bit of a downer you know he produces a ball like that
00:26:49gets the neck unlucky to go for four runs
00:26:53but it says to me that you need to be patient you need to get the ball in the right areas you will get rewarded on this pitch
00:27:00that should be four
00:27:07it's a quick outfield and once you beat the infield there's every chance of the ball racing to the boundary
00:27:14and he looks in good nick collingwood
00:27:21this is still a battable pitch but because indians have pulled so wonderfully well
00:27:25that they've not allowed england really to
00:27:27to really get after them
00:27:29here was this one opportunity in fact created by the batsman himself it wasn't such a bad delivery
00:27:35good placement and a welcome boundary for england picked his spot nicely collingwood
00:27:51he has this ability paul collingwood to play those kinds of shots under pressure
00:27:57because he plays spin well he got to the pitch of it very quickly and knew exactly where to place the ball
00:28:04chipped in the edge just over mid wicket
00:28:11it's good cricket again by collingwood
00:28:17that's good head down the ground and into the boundary
00:28:27nidoff was up in the circle and
00:28:34collingwood here seizing the opportunity again good footwork
00:28:37oh terrific batting from paul collingwood what a good shot
00:28:42came down the track and knew exactly where to put this one away
00:28:44exactly where to put this one away
00:28:51four on the offside
00:28:53five on the lake side
00:28:58big appeal
00:29:03applause from doni
00:29:06must remain positive at this stage
00:29:10just hit him just outside the line
00:29:12work back to leg
00:29:16must believe that
00:29:18the situation can be redeemable
00:29:28well can it be redeemable
00:29:29simon toffle
00:29:30lifting the bloody finger
00:29:31paul collingwood and that is a huge huge blow
00:29:34for england
00:29:35the partnership's broken
00:29:37paul collingwood normally the finisher
00:29:39of the england side
00:29:40he's gone
00:29:44well the lift in quality
00:29:46no other spinners have been able to get any turn from this pitch
00:29:49just a little feather of an inside edge
00:29:51coming from the pad
00:29:52and a very comfortable catch
00:29:54for a Mahindra Singh Dhoni
00:29:56as he comes round from behind the stumps
00:29:58collingwood
00:30:00gone for a well compiled 38
00:30:03will it be enough
00:30:04probably not
00:30:05it's a hundred and four for six
00:30:12new batsman is Chris Reid
00:30:14Nottinghamshire
00:30:15the English wicket keeper
00:30:19strike rate is good
00:30:22and let's see if he's able to just
00:30:24manipulate these spinners around a little bit more
00:30:28and perhaps try and develop a target that will be competitive
00:30:34for the england bowlers
00:30:36he faces power
00:30:38and there's four balls remaining
00:30:41well that's free
00:30:45just a little fuller from power this time
00:30:47here's the dismissal of collingwood
00:30:53bit of turn
00:30:55is that off the bat
00:31:02they're appealing first of all to Torfel
00:31:06no
00:31:07oh my word there's a lot happening
00:31:16there's a lot happening
00:31:17firstly an appeal
00:31:19for a catch
00:31:21now has that just clipped the glove
00:31:25looks like it might have done
00:31:26just on the top part of the glove
00:31:29Dhoni doing the rest
00:31:30they're convinced
00:31:31and then he's gone for the stumping
00:31:33well
00:31:36comprehensive to me
00:31:38and conclusive
00:31:40Chris Reid's got away with one there
00:31:44so this is the stroke
00:31:49there you are off the glove
00:31:51certainly look at bat pad
00:31:53he knows that it's come off
00:31:54look he hasn't even appealed
00:31:55just the applause
00:31:57clearly there it's just hit the glove
00:32:02do you think he's lost out on the
00:32:04decision because he went for the stumping as well
00:32:07well there's one coming down to long on
00:32:10he's positioning himself nicely
00:32:11and takes the catch
00:32:13Chris Reid
00:32:17playing boldly
00:32:30lost his wicket
00:32:31Chris Reid trying to impose himself on the innings
00:32:34he's managed to do
00:32:36let's find the man
00:32:38positioned nicely on the boundary
00:32:41England really didn't need that at this point
00:32:44well pouched
00:32:46Chris Reid departs
00:32:52for two of just seven balls
00:32:54England now really struggling 107 for seven
00:33:01there he is the new man
00:33:03strike rate really good
00:33:05average
00:33:07pretty low
00:33:08it's what you want from someone in this position
00:33:10normally
00:33:11doesn't usually come in with 18 overs remaining
00:33:14which power continues
00:33:17I wonder
00:33:20whether there might be a thought
00:33:22of another man in close there
00:33:24Rahul Dravid
00:33:29I like him on the off side
00:33:30yes in he goes
00:33:31but is this
00:33:32Rahul Dravid's been quite attacking today
00:33:35he hasn't taken long to make his decisions
00:33:38so one either side
00:33:41looking for a little
00:33:43bat pad or pad bat
00:33:44encircled
00:33:46he's a very fine striker
00:33:47that's one of his strengths
00:34:01well power giving this one some flight
00:34:04looking to try and get the ball to drop
00:34:05a little bit of curve in the air there
00:34:07but it's just too full and Mahmood a good good stride
00:34:0835th over about to begin
00:34:09and this power continues
00:34:11it's time Dalrymple
00:34:12little reverse
00:34:13back
00:34:14but it's just too full
00:34:15well power giving this one some flight
00:34:17looking to try and get the ball to drop
00:34:19a little bit of curve in the air there
00:34:21but it's just too full and Mahmood a good good stride
00:34:23it's time Dalrymple
00:34:36little reverse sweep and it's been effective
00:34:40looked like very good fielding
00:34:46under say work running hard
00:34:53like this
00:34:54big appeal
00:35:07silent awful having a good look
00:35:11subject the mood and good look at his bat
00:35:15suspect that some bat in this
00:35:22fairly inconclusive
00:35:28but awful
00:35:31must have heard two noises there
00:35:33otherwise that has to have been very close
00:35:39tempting going harder at Havajan
00:35:41sings the man coming around
00:35:43takes the catch does he yes
00:35:50just prevents the momentum going to the road
00:35:55or there's a celebration they're going to him
00:35:59and so they should
00:36:01a brilliant catch
00:36:02such a mood
00:36:04trying to hit it over the top of mid on
00:36:09very smart field placings
00:36:11man with wicket Havajan sing on the deep
00:36:13has come a bit straight up
00:36:15got this for a catch
00:36:16very very fine catch
00:36:18not only do you have to watch the ball
00:36:20you have to watch the rope
00:36:21you have to watch the rope
00:36:23this power
00:36:24he's picked up another wicket
00:36:25such a mood
00:36:27departs for eight in England in real trouble now
00:36:30119 for eight
00:36:33steve harmer since the new batsman
00:36:40still
00:36:45almost 16 overs to go
00:36:50quick a ball from power
00:36:52really nice off spin bowling from this
00:36:56this man he's just
00:36:59this one's up
00:37:00a little bit quicker
00:37:03a little bit of movement away
00:37:05very different from the dismissal of Mahmoud
00:37:08last man to go
00:37:10there's a more flighty delivery
00:37:14another single to Dalrymple
00:37:17but he got Mahmoud I think with a ball that just tempted him in the air
00:37:24didn't quite get himself
00:37:25bounced a bit more
00:37:27swung through and good feeling
00:37:28look at the eyes on the ball here
00:37:30doesn't leave the ball for one moment
00:37:33and then realizes the danger of going over the rope
00:37:38moving to his left
00:37:39looking at the ball
00:37:40now he recognizes the problem and reacts
00:37:43Steve Harmer since the new batsman
00:37:50I'm sure he will have discussed with Dalrymple
00:37:53his role in this partnership
00:37:55sweeping in 120 for eight
00:38:02that's taken
00:38:07beat you in the flight outside edge
00:38:09Rahul Dravid making no mistake in the slips
00:38:19and the England innings continues to falter
00:38:22number nine goes down
00:38:25once again power throwing the ball up
00:38:29cracking catch by Dravid
00:38:31I think he was blindsided by Dhoni there
00:38:34but still had the presence of mind to stay balanced
00:38:36and take it on the left side
00:38:38Dalrymple out for 24
00:38:41scores 124 for nine
00:38:43so wickets falling like nine pins here
00:38:55James Anderson
00:38:58let's come out to the middle
00:39:00last man out here for England
00:39:07and we're into the 37th over so still
00:39:1212 overs remaining after this
00:39:15well it's been a fantastic bowling performance by India
00:39:19and they've given us everything they've given us pace and swing early on to go through the English top order and it's been the flight and the spin and the variation of Parbujan Singh and Power to go through the middle order and late order of English
00:39:36batting line up
00:39:51such good variations
00:39:53they're different bowlers
00:39:58well it's gonna be entertaining
00:40:03this last wicket
00:40:04I can't say I'm blocking it out
00:40:06Harmson a big man
00:40:08mid off and mid on
00:40:10a wrap
00:40:11that'll be the Harmson's liking
00:40:20well did he get some
00:40:22hand back
00:40:23the third umpire has been called for
00:40:26it's well might be all over here
00:40:29testing to see how far Jamie Anderson had backed up
00:40:35watch here
00:40:40when the bales come up the bats on the line that's out and you can see the ball bales have shifted
00:40:49it's all over
00:40:56decision coming
00:40:59it's all over
00:41:04and it's been a thoroughly professional performance by India
00:41:08it certainly has we've seen everything we've seen swing from the opening bowlers
00:41:12left arm batons
00:41:14opening spell was sensational
00:41:15Patel backed it up
00:41:17but it's been the spin of Harbujan and Power
00:41:21that has gone through the English batting line up
00:41:23nicely hit by Harmson
00:41:25but good hands by Power
00:41:26got it released out of his fingers very quickly onto the stumps
00:41:31impressive display fielding wise
00:41:33and also I thought Raoul Dravid really took control with his captaincy as well this innings
00:41:38complete performance
00:41:40well that was a hugely disappointing effort by England
00:41:45bowled out for 125 and they made the cardinal mistake of not using up their full 50 overs
00:41:50they were bowled out in 37 so they had 13 overs to spare
00:41:54when you have a look at that batting card
00:41:56yeah
00:41:57four people got into double figures
00:41:59but it was the disappointing efforts of Peterson and Collingwood I suppose
00:42:03not so much Dalrymple and Chris Reid
00:42:05because he played a curious shot after just seven balls when they were in such a hole
00:42:09but the fact that nobody when they were in a bit of a hole
00:42:12really knuckled down and tried to just bat through the 50 overs
00:42:16from India's point of view
00:42:18brilliant effort you can't criticise anything
00:42:20they did
00:42:21Kahn 2 for 20 and Patel 3 for 18 got them off to the perfect start with incisive seam bowling
00:42:26and then the two spinners Harbergen and Power mocked up at the back end
00:42:29and there was the Anderson run out
00:42:31that just kind of summed everything up really
00:42:33so it meant
00:42:34that England having been bowled out for 125 had set India 126 to win
00:42:39and they had actually 35 minutes to bat
00:42:41before the scheduled mid-innings break
00:42:43we'll talk about that in just a little bit
00:42:45Sebag the man on strike
00:42:50two steps in place
00:42:52and India away
00:42:56as a Sebag with a single
00:42:59good areas for Anderson bit of encouragement
00:43:05and each innings is a big opportunity for Sebag too
00:43:1028 runs in the last four innings
00:43:12been a lot of press since we got here
00:43:14about his form
00:43:16I don't know why people jump up and down every time
00:43:22during the Sebag doesn't have a good game
00:43:26it's a genuine match winner
00:43:29every time he fires you're in business
00:43:33serious business
00:43:35even if it is three or four out of ten times
00:43:38well do
00:43:39it's not a one-man game
00:43:41this cricket
00:43:4211 players in a team
00:43:44what you really want is a 60% of the guys to perform regularly
00:43:50good evening Tendulkar
00:43:55they just never go straight those ones
00:43:58when you're bowling
00:44:00pretty tough to keep that one out
00:44:02and the new ball has done this
00:44:04earlier today
00:44:05great scene
00:44:06but the couple LB's the Indian bowlers got
00:44:10straight on the stumps got a bit of extra bounce as well
00:44:13just to put enough doubt in the batsman's minds
00:44:25here's Hoverson
00:44:26starts off with a wide
00:44:29a big one
00:44:33I think Simon Tofu called that halfway down
00:44:36he got a good sider there
00:44:41just needs to get that out of his mind
00:44:43straight away Steve Harmison
00:44:46that's a double wide
00:44:51just see how his wrist and fingers weren't behind the ball there
00:44:55and he's been able to do that because Harmison has had to adjust from that leg side wide
00:45:10through it
00:45:11further outside off stump
00:45:12and you can't give room to Seawag and Tendulkar
00:45:13another wide
00:45:17already
00:45:24already
00:45:27more extras given away by England than India did in their entire innings when they were out there
00:45:3237 overs
00:45:34Harmison can get into trouble with the white ball
00:45:49I'd like to think he has got a checklist he goes through to get himself back on track in here
00:45:54get all his body movements going towards off stump
00:46:01walked away on the onside
00:46:05again the timing is good from Seawag
00:46:07the ball will win again
00:46:10so India off to a flyer
00:46:15I'm ready to boundaries in this over
00:46:22for the two areas you don't want to bow to Seawag is short outside off stump
00:46:26and half volleys on leg stump
00:46:28loves them there
00:46:32another wide
00:46:42now
00:46:45Damien
00:46:46if you were standing at mid on
00:46:48what would your first advice be to Stephen Harmison
00:46:53well firstly how quickly he's walking back here
00:46:56he wants to get rid of this over as quickly as possible
00:46:58get to the end of your mark take a couple of deep breaths
00:47:01visualize where you want the ball to go
00:47:04and just go through your checklist
00:47:06take your time
00:47:12that's better
00:47:14and he's got a wicket
00:47:17so everything happening in this over the ball going all over the shop
00:47:21the first one
00:47:22reasonably on target
00:47:24Varenda Seawag has a go at it
00:47:26gets the outside edge
00:47:28and Andrew Strauss making no mistake in the slips
00:47:31well we've got a whole lot
00:47:33the highlights package already
00:47:35well taken by Strauss
00:47:37Seawag is the type of player that
00:47:39when he gets going likes to keep hitting the ball
00:47:42the wicket to Harmison he'll enjoy that
00:47:45Seawag out for nine
00:47:46scores 18 for one
00:47:47so Irfan Pathan comes out to the middle
00:47:54batting a number three a good opportunity to further build his confidence
00:47:59he had a good day with the ball
00:48:01he can get some runs here that will put him back on track
00:48:04and a good time to come into bat
00:48:08the target not a big one
00:48:10Seawag just dismissed outside edge
00:48:13a good catch by Strauss in the end
00:48:20that should get Harmison fired up too
00:48:23he didn't get the same going for that ball
00:48:27it's just a wide half volley
00:48:30fantastic catch by Strauss
00:48:32but you never know when the first wicket can come
00:48:35and use that momentum
00:48:36Harmison coming around the wicket
00:48:38here to baton
00:48:39that's in the air
00:48:54one bounce to third man
00:48:58beautiful shot
00:49:09Jendulkar gets his first boundary
00:49:14nice and juicy on middle and leg
00:49:19but he's still got to put it away
00:49:21and he's done it in style
00:49:23now half follies on leg stump
00:49:27aren't going to work
00:49:28against international batsmen
00:49:29they're not of the quality of Tendulkar
00:49:31even though his weight is on the back foot
00:49:34he was balanced
00:49:35and just helped it
00:49:37as long as you hit the gap
00:49:38you're going to get four runs
00:49:4120 runs coming off that last over
00:49:53it's 23 for one
00:49:56sun going down
00:50:02silhouettes are outstanding
00:50:06place of beauty
00:50:08and that shot will match
00:50:15the sunset
00:50:16and anything else here in Jaipur
00:50:18Irfan Patan
00:50:20James Anderson trying to get it up
00:50:24pitched up to the left hand up
00:50:27trying to find some swing
00:50:29Irfan
00:50:30perfect big stride
00:50:32finding the gap
00:50:34in there early on
00:50:39to really take the attack to the bowlers
00:50:43fortuitous but four
00:50:49the balance has been inconsistent
00:50:52bowling into that end outside the offstub
00:50:55Tendulkar gets a lucky one
00:50:58how often does this happen when things are not running for your team
00:51:02really could have got Tendulkar here just dragging it back onto the stumps
00:51:09magnificent it really is magnificent he got on top of the bounce and with an almost vertical bat
00:51:16punched it off the back foot
00:51:18trademark Tendulkar
00:51:19this is what makes Tendulkar
00:51:23good
00:51:24good
00:51:25good
00:51:26good
00:51:27good
00:51:28good
00:51:29good
00:51:30good
00:51:31good
00:51:32good
00:51:33good
00:51:34good
00:51:35good

00:52:08leg buys, no bat in it.
00:52:13Harmison really, really struggling to find his lengths.
00:52:25England really do need Steve Harmison to start firing with this new white ball.
00:52:38Cuomo giving some room and there is the freedom to play because it's a small total.
00:52:46And Puthan has license to play his shots as well.
00:52:52Puthan using the pace created from Harmison, a little bit of width and he's gone at it.
00:52:59Fully, given everything there is to give and he's cleared the infield.
00:53:04Wow.
00:53:10Puthan playing his role here and stamping his authority on the England team.
00:53:16But he's in there to get on with it. That's exactly what he's doing.
00:53:21More width.
00:53:25Wow.
00:53:26How well they performed with the ball.
00:53:36The sweet old songs of home appearing in the subcontinent once again have given them the opportunity to dismiss England for 125 and end.
00:53:46What is the first half of this match on 55 for one Nick Knight in control.
00:53:53Totally dominant all day.
00:53:56The moment Raul Dravid won the toss.
00:54:00Put England in.
00:54:01Have a look back.
00:54:03Oh dear, not England's day, at least not at that stage of the game.
00:54:07India 55 for one, another desperately disappointing passage of play.
00:54:11Eight overs bowled and the Indians off to a flyer.
00:54:13And the wicket itself was a bit of a bonus to be perfectly honest with you.
00:54:16Because if Saywag had left it, well that would have been another harmless and wide, I'm sure.
00:54:19So India needed another 71 to win with bags and bags of time and wickets in hand as well when they took the scheduled.
00:54:30And this is to resume to 10 to open.
00:54:34And again the inside edge, lucky on that occasion.
00:54:37That's the kind of luck you need as a bowling side when you're defending a small score.
00:54:43What England would want out of here really is to pick up a couple of wickets quickly.
00:54:49And see what happens.
00:54:56That should be four.
00:55:00And it will be a boundary.
00:55:04Again such a quick outfield.
00:55:06Just straying a little bit in line and the left-hander Patan making Anderson pay the price for it.
00:55:14Oh, he's desperate not to give Patan any wit.
00:55:17He knows how strong he is on the offside.
00:55:19So he's just gone a little bit too tight there, a little bit straight.
00:55:24Sajid Mahmood to resume from the pavilion end.
00:55:33Well, Tendorka on to that.
00:55:35A little bit short.
00:55:37Pulled away.
00:55:39It's tough at the best of times bowling to Tendorka in this sort of form.
00:55:44Marginally short.
00:55:46A little master just rocks back.
00:55:48Well, it's marginally short, isn't it?
00:55:51He hasn't quite got it where he wants to, but it's enough bat for four.
00:55:55Just got the impression that he was expecting a short ball.
00:55:58The weight had dropped back very quickly.
00:56:01In the air, over cover.
00:56:06Second boundary of the over.
00:56:09And the 50 partnership comes up.
00:56:13Nice to see Tendorka playing freely.
00:56:18He went through with the shot there.
00:56:20That was good to see.
00:56:22Well, he's in a hurry.
00:56:24Good length.
00:56:25He's just hit on the up, through the ball.
00:56:29Great skill factor to be able to do that.
00:56:32A lot to blame the bowler there.
00:56:34Fantastic timing.
00:56:36Stands up and just hits it on top of the bounce.
00:56:38What a catch.
00:56:48That is an absolute beauty.
00:56:51Kevin Peterson, he's a tall man.
00:56:54He had to reach to his maximum to pull off that beauty.
00:57:00Well, England got somebody to cheer about here.
00:57:02That's a quite outstanding catch, Kevin Peterson.
00:57:05He had problems catching them early on in his career with England.
00:57:10Since then, he's really taken some great catches.
00:57:12And there's one of them.
00:57:15James Anderson.
00:57:17Well, pretty nonchalant response.
00:57:19But he'll be delighted.
00:57:21Get back on the scoreboard there.
00:57:23Erfan Patan gone for 19.
00:57:26India now 68 for 2.
00:57:27So Rahul Dravid, the Indian captain strides out to the center.
00:57:35India just lost the second wicket.
00:57:37Thanks to some brilliance in the field from Kevin Peterson.
00:57:42Go in, go in, go in!
00:57:43Go in, go in!
00:57:45Go in!
00:57:46Patan really got stuck into this one.
00:57:47We'll have a look at Peterson.
00:57:52Go in, go in, go in!
00:57:54Go in, go in!
00:57:55Go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in
00:58:25for it to stop. It might just carry on for a bit longer. This is the festival of lights.
00:58:34In fact, they've decided let's get on with it. Good move.
00:58:48What a sight. Right around the ground, fireworks. It's a great time of the year to be in India.
00:59:05Festival of lights, everything lit up. 21st is the day when you have Diwali.
00:59:17Dravid off the mark, in fine fashion. Just opening the face of the blade and caressing it
00:59:25through the offside. Anderson's got two catches in, a slip and a gully, trying to get a ball
00:59:33that can feed it to them. Foolish ball. Dravid up to the task and just feeds it through the gap.
00:59:40First cover.
00:59:54It's been taken. So England looking to fight back here. Two wickets and one over. First baton and now the Indian captain Rahul Dravid.
00:59:56Oh, well, James Anderson. Well done, Andrew Flintoff. Getting the slip in place. New execution. Big, big wicket, the Indian captain.
01:00:02Just feeling for an outside off stump. Andrew Strauss. Already taken a really good capture slip.
01:00:08Finished the job. That's really good stuff for James Anderson. Back in cricket. Rahul Dravid goes for four.
01:00:14India now 72 for three.
01:00:30Now 72 for three.
01:00:36Raj Singh has come out into the center and greeted by fireworks. It's been going on for the last ten minutes or so.
01:00:43The England team will be quite happy with it because they picked up a couple of wickets.
01:00:49There was a big announcement on the public address system during the break. Please stay back after the game.
01:00:55You'll see some fireworks. I wonder if someone's pressed the wrong button somewhere.
01:01:0145 minutes earlier than normal.
01:01:0445 minutes earlier than normal.
01:01:18So you're Rajan strike.
01:01:21And greeted with a bouncer. Has he gloved it?
01:01:24They all go up. No reaction from the umpire.
01:01:29And it seemed a half-hearted appeal when you look at the fielders in the outfield.
01:01:34And that's a good shot delivery. Tokyo Brad Singh by surprise.
01:01:38Good intelligent bowling from Anderson.
01:01:41Now that's this hit.
01:01:46Looks like it's hit the shoulder but hasn't hit the glove on the way through.
01:01:50The fielders didn't seem overly animated.
01:01:53I think it's just hit the shoulder.
01:02:02Off the mark with a single.
01:02:08And he'll keep the strike, Jovrat Singh.
01:02:1173 for three.
01:02:1473 for three.
01:02:18Oh, Dravid.
01:02:23The man to go.
01:02:25James Anderson.
01:02:27Good bowling early on.
01:02:30Slip in place Andrew Strauss.
01:02:33A little bit wider.
01:02:35Dravid.
01:02:36Nice to find him.
01:02:38Even delighted.
01:02:45Oh, that's punched down the ground.
01:02:50The timing is exquisite.
01:02:51And Jovrat Singh away here with his first boundary.
01:03:01Whoa.
01:03:02What a shot.
01:03:03One of the hardest shots to play in cricket.
01:03:05Left hand and holding his balance and just punching it.
01:03:08Great timing.
01:03:09No chance for mid on.
01:03:10Oh, they're not doing a lot wrong.
01:03:11Gorgeous shot that.
01:03:24Fractionally overpitched and could well be the shot of the day so far.
01:03:30Bower timing.
01:03:31Quite brilliant.
01:03:32Raj has suffered a few bounces in his innings and now he's in his stride.
01:03:44A good stride out to the ball.
01:03:46James Anderson slightly full.
01:03:48Execution quite brilliant.
01:03:51Oh, no need to run for that.
01:03:56Stand up tall and deliver.
01:03:5991 for three.
01:04:04Just see offering the full face of the blade.
01:04:19The weight going into the shot.
01:04:21Just bouncing in one of those pitches on the square.
01:04:27And the timing once again spot on from Jovrat Singh.
01:04:32So just 28 more required for India to register their first win of this tournament.
01:04:36Crowds are happy.
01:04:37It has been India right the way through today.
01:04:42Oh, close enough to call.
01:04:43It's got to go.
01:04:44That one Kepler.
01:04:45Darryl Harper taking a bit of time.
01:04:46But I think in the end he got it right.
01:04:47It just looked bad from the naked eye.
01:04:48Tough on Tendulka.
01:04:49Tough on Tendulka.
01:04:50That looked like it was pitching halfway down the track.
01:04:52For the near 200 centimeter.
01:04:53Steve Harmeson.
01:04:54Look on the replay.
01:04:55I think that's hitting around middle and make it.
01:04:57It shows on this wicket.
01:04:58It shows on this wicket.
01:04:59It can get the ball in the right area.
01:05:00Hit the deck hard.
01:05:01Let the natural variation of the wicket work towards you.
01:05:02Tendulka out for 35.
01:05:03It's 98 for core.
01:05:04There's a huge row away.
01:05:05But the fount of Tendulka doesn't go there.
01:05:06That's going to do niggas.
01:05:07Whatever.
01:05:08It's going to do with him.
01:05:09That's going to do with him.
01:05:10He's pitching half way down the track.
01:05:11To the near 200 centimeter.
01:05:12Steve Harmeson.
01:05:13Look on the replay.
01:05:14I think that's hitting around middle and make it.
01:05:17It shows on this wicket.
01:05:18It can get the ball in the right area.
01:05:20Hit the deck hard.
01:05:22Let the natural variation of the wicket work towards you.
01:05:25Tendulka out for 35.
01:05:26It's 98 for corp.
01:05:28There's a huge row away.
01:05:33a huge role when Dhoni came into bat he's a favorite his highest or his best
01:05:39183 scored here in Jaipur
01:05:43he's replaced Sachin Tendulkar as the Hawkeye will confirm that ball would
01:05:48have gone on to hit the stumps it stayed very low from Harmson such in
01:05:55Tendulkar was on his toes in fact his toes were lifted when ball came and hit
01:06:01his pads and even then it was good enough to call ball would have gone to hit the
01:06:06stumps
01:06:09you know what he can do Tony
01:06:13oh excellent delivery water delivery first up to Dhoni he was looking for it
01:06:33and Harmson back over 140 k's got the wicket his backs up
01:06:42wrist and fingers behind the ball we've got pace bounce in good areas
01:06:47total different change it's amazing the change over a bowl when you get a wicket
01:06:53nice shot but with the field of air it'll only be one but then loud cheer is for
01:07:03India's hundred
01:07:04hundred for four
01:07:0855 for one at the break India look like finishing things off
01:07:18and what's good to see is Harmson bowling the way he is now
01:07:26such a key member of this England side if he gets it right he has the ability to
01:07:34strike even in the one-day game pick two three wickets makes a huge difference
01:07:41very expensive and wayward in his first spell
01:07:46and two for 24 gets it right he can pick two or three wickets very quickly and he can still do it
01:07:56oh beautifully played attempted yorka
01:08:06and he times it so well you've Raj once again offering the full face of the blade
01:08:12just a push the ball raised to it
01:08:18i think Harmson had pushed him back with a short delivery in the over and i'm just searching for
01:08:23the yorka trying to double bluff hope to see you've Raj equal to the task
01:08:33living dangerously you've Raj it's been that kind of an innings from him some terrific shots
01:08:37between all that they lose at times just not settled
01:08:54Ravi Shastri's just leaned back in his chair because he was expecting it
01:08:58and the crowd were expecting it listen to it
01:09:06and Tony wanted it unfortunately for him he missed it all together luckily his spags went away
01:09:16intentions are clear
01:09:17well that's the end of his intentions
01:09:27it's a very good catch and you do not hit it anywhere near Paul Collingwood in the air
01:09:32well he wanted to go off with a bang in the end just hold out to the man at mid-wicket
01:09:38just not getting the elevation another good catch
01:09:45he's got the feeling he got too close to the pitch of the ball and hence could not get the
01:09:49elevation he was looking for he's one of the better fielders in the England side Collingwood
01:09:55no problems for him and Ripple will be happy
01:09:58England too will be happy that they're putting up some short of a fight
01:10:04119 for five
01:10:14sirish riders to me that's when
01:10:17replacing Mahinja Singh Dhani he scores quick enough and it's only a youngster
01:10:2220 years of age and this is why he's there interesting Bernie will just feel a little
01:10:32light having given his wicket away with just seven runs required
01:10:46linked up on the attack a slip and the man in a silly point the feelers in the ring in stopping the
01:10:51one this is good pressure towards the end yes sir he's making india earn this victory not giving
01:10:57it away or throwing in the towel easily
01:11:07that's good bowling is bounded
01:11:13so india making hard work of this 125 score
01:11:17they've lost another wicket suresh rainer departs
01:11:26it's playing on the ball hitting the back then the pad rolling back to hit the off stump
01:11:32two wickets in the over for dalrymple
01:11:34rainer departs without tickling the scorers 119 for six
01:11:45well this thing has turned around india was 68 for one
01:11:50at one stage and looked like they were cruising and england looked as though it was nothing to be taken
01:11:56out of it for them now we've got have a chance seeing a decrease because a surish rainer hesitant
01:12:03to get forward because of pressure exerted by fint off with an attacking field
01:12:07and he's in the pavilion seven to win surely surely
01:12:19long on deep mid wicket deep square leg everyone else saving one and two catching
01:12:25well negotiated by harbizhan singh with a plum 27 overs gone 119 for six
01:12:44looking back at the game it's always easy in reflection
01:12:47even when england lost those
01:12:48early wickets calling when the peterson partnership was developing
01:12:56back now it could have somehow got that partnership up for a bit longer
01:13:02the tail could have produced some runs we might have had a game on our hands
01:13:08suppose if there's a lesson to be learned from the game for england maybe that's it
01:13:12we're never quite out of the game in one day cricket anything can happen particularly with the uneven nature of the wicket
01:13:29everyone in the ring now there's a lot of four fielders in the ring
01:13:32so we're needing just uh five now to run this game they've got three four wickets in hand
01:13:45the ball very well up front patel patel particularly with the new ball well supported by the spinners harbizhan singh and ramesh power
01:14:04really the scene was set big game pattern low on confidence and set this set the scene with a very impressive two for 20
01:14:26121 for six
01:14:27he normally doesn't like to play
01:14:39defensively too often against the spin especially if he's an off spinner bowling to him
01:14:47bent off uh in the right thing just slowing the game down
01:14:51and still trying to play some mind games here build the pressure
01:15:03good to see this as well a lot of sides get to this position in the game and it's well
01:15:07inevitable let's just let the game take shake flint off slowing it down
01:15:11the batting now against thing then you're thinking well they're not just going to give it to us here
01:15:22we're going to have to work really hard and tough doing well roll the captaincy
01:15:27i like that i like that well you mentioned earlier he's emerging into a very useful creator
01:15:40i think he's got a good temperament that recently well today his control is good when he's uh bold
01:15:48it's picked up two wickets
01:15:55oh he's getting some turn as well he's played county cricket for quite a while he's learned his trade
01:16:03he's coming to the england side with some cricket under his belt yes he's a youngster but he's
01:16:09who's seems to have worked out not the game it's too broad a comment but he knows where he's trying
01:16:22to go he knows what he's trying to achieve mentally he's got some game plans when he plays
01:16:30he's chipping away at the target one more and 22 for six
01:16:43and continuing to ask questions i think the embatsman
01:17:02the embats being very patient here really not
01:17:06playing too many shots you guys seeing 27 of 61 he'll just be happy to have some time in the middle
01:17:20and the opportunity was there for harbhajan singh he's lit up when he saw the width
01:17:42well there it was
01:17:42he's got so stuck in the last few overs he was able to hit the short and wide ones
01:17:57two slips now
01:18:05and that should be it picked away on the onside by harbhajan singh
01:18:13and the celebrations have started in the stands india have made rough weather of this target of 125
01:18:22but a win is a win and they've got one under their belt
01:18:25they've beaten england by four wickets in the opening game of the champions trophy for the home side
01:18:31the crowd have got what they wanted an indian victory
01:18:40great support for their team fireworks are back in
01:18:46celebrating the victory too well deserved victory for india
01:18:50they've fought hard in the end for the tea break some wickets harmson and anderson
01:19:04nearly 126 it was proved too short
01:19:09well i suppose india will feel they made slightly heavy weather of that run chase but the reality was
01:19:14they won it with lots of time to spare and they were never really pushed admittedly one or two of
01:19:19their batsmen got out when they could have had some nice batting practice but you've raj helped
01:19:22himself to that and at the end of it all it was india's day there were plus points from england's point
01:19:28of view i thought harmson's second spell in which he got tendulka was much much better so signs that
01:19:33the rustiness was beginning to flake off him and dalrymple continued to add to his growing reputation as a
01:19:38one-day international cricketer following on from his 24 that was a good little spell from him four
01:19:43overs no maidens two for five but this was india's day make no mistake about that comfortable winners
01:19:50and after it was all over these were the views of the two captain and also the man of the match
01:19:55first of all i'd like to invite uh and and you flint off to please come forward and have a few words
01:19:59well well fought in the end andrew but uh were you surprised at the pitch because it flattered to
01:20:11deceive yeah we fought well towards you and we came back into the game and we never give up we kept
01:20:15going and you know we probably started badly with both bat and ball and was always chasing the game
01:20:20but i'm pleased with his character that i had showed you know we never give up we kept coming
01:20:23and managed to take six wickets what was difficult when you were batting out there the bounce or
01:20:29the inconsistent space or indians just poor will i don't think you can take anything away from the
01:20:33two bowlers earth and munaf all you know fantastic at the start and made it difficult for the batters
01:20:38there was a little bit of invariable bounce but you know the ball has put it in the right areas to
01:20:41exploit that so fair play to them what can we expect from england now you've lost this game but you've got
01:20:46to come back hard at the other oppositions i guess yeah we've got to learn from today um you know we'll
01:20:51sit down and we'll talk about it and come back stronger and we know exactly what we need to do now
01:20:54we've got two games left if we want to get into the semi-final we've got to win two games so
01:20:58that's what we need to do and come back stronger next saturday that is right the bowling was pretty
01:21:02impressive i thought dalrymple got the ball to spin and the medium paces bowled well as well
01:21:06yeah i was pleased that the ball was bold um you know they came back into it well they got a bit of
