49.5 | Khan to Misbah-ul-Haq, OUT | ||||||||||||||
Misbah-ul-Haq c Kohli b Khan 56 (76b 5x4 1x6) SR: 73.68 | |||||||||||||||
The Pakistan players look utterly downcast in the dressing room, the dream is over | |||||||||||||||
49.4 | Khan to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, on a length now, heaved across the line and straight to midwicket | ||||||||||||||
49.3 | Khan to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, short, pulled and straight to midwicket. The crowd are excited now, they know India are through | ||||||||||||||
49.2 | Khan to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, full and wide outside off, is that a wide? Swing and a miss from Misbah | ||||||||||||||
Ash: "Misbaha completed 50 and 2000 ODI runs... Hmmm.. Might be he was targetting this" | |||||||||||||||
49.1 | Khan to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, drilled down the ground, Misbah turns down the single ... so now he's got to hit every ball for six | ||||||||||||||
Zaheer to bowl the final over, and Pakistan need a miracle. India have one foot in the final. Long-on, long-off are back | |||||||||||||||
End of over 49 (7 runs) Pakistan 231/9 (30 runs required from 6 balls, RR: 4.71, RRR: 30.00)
| |||||||||||||||
48.6 | Patel to Saeed Ajmal, no run, Ajmal walks across to off and paddles ... but he can't beat short fine leg! If that had been a boundary ... | ||||||||||||||
48.5 | Patel to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1 run, Misbah clears the front leg and muscles this to wide long-on, but Raina sprints across to save the boundary ... that's just a single. | ||||||||||||||
48.4 | Patel to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, slapped out to deep cover, Misbah is just backing himself to hit boundaries now, again he turns down the single | ||||||||||||||
48.3 | Patel to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, Munaf hits a length again, and Misbah can only tap it back to the bowler | ||||||||||||||
48.2 | Patel to Misbah-ul-Haq, SIX, six! Slammed down the ground, sailing over the boundary. Fifty for Misbah, but there are just too many runs needed now | ||||||||||||||
48.1 | Patel to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, on a length and straight, Misbah steps to leg and, perhaps undone by the pace of the wicket, can only defend | ||||||||||||||
37 off 12, surely not? Munaf to bowl | |||||||||||||||
End of over 48 (14 runs) Pakistan 224/9 (37 runs required from 12 balls, RR: 4.66, RRR: 18.50)
| |||||||||||||||
47.6 | Khan to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1 run, tip-and-run from Misbah, he pushes to mid-off and they charge through ... he's home, just! | ||||||||||||||
"If there is anyone out there, who is still wondering why India and Sri Lanka played each other so many times in the last 2 years, they have their answers now. It was all practice for the BIG GAME on April 2, 2011 :)" Finally Shrikanth has unravelled the mystery. | |||||||||||||||
47.5 | Khan to Misbah-ul-Haq, FOUR, slower ball from Zaheer, Misbah picks it and lifts it sweetly over mid-on, four more! Is there still a chance here? | ||||||||||||||
47.4 | Khan to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, length delivery, slapped out to the man who's just been placed at deep cover. He turns the single down | ||||||||||||||
Deep cover goes out now | |||||||||||||||
47.3 | Khan to Misbah-ul-Haq, FOUR, full toss outside off, and Misbah puts it away through cover. Too late? | ||||||||||||||
47.2 | Khan to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, that could've been it! Misbah steps away, Zaheer follows him with a length delivery and he still goes for the cut, chopping it down just past his stumps | ||||||||||||||
47.1 | Khan to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, full and straight, Misbah steps away and slams it straight to mid-off. He's got to hit the ball in the air, there aren't many gaps along the ground | ||||||||||||||
47.1 | Khan to Misbah-ul-Haq, 5 wides, well, Zaheer's completely lost the radar here. Misbah backed away to leg and Zaheer tried to follow him but he went too far, the ball shooting well down the leg side and beating a diving Dhoni | ||||||||||||||
End of over 47 (2 runs) Pakistan 210/9 (51 runs required from 18 balls, RR: 4.46, RRR: 17.00)
| |||||||||||||||
The end of Nehra's contribution with the ball, good effort from him | |||||||||||||||
46.6 | Nehra to Saeed Ajmal, no run, high full toss outside off, Ajmal runs it down to third man but Misbah says no to the single - he's got to keep the strike if Pakistan's slim hopes are to be kept alive | ||||||||||||||
46.5 | Nehra to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1 run, Misbah opens his stance and pushes to mid-on, rushing across for a single | ||||||||||||||
46.4 | Nehra to Saeed Ajmal, 1 run, full again, the ball takes a thick edge as Ajmal tries to angle it down and rolls away through gully | ||||||||||||||
"@Dave: Banging our heads against the wall and tearing our hair out." Poor Talya. | |||||||||||||||
46.3 | Nehra to Saeed Ajmal, no run, back of a length, too quick for Ajmal and he's late on the pull. The ball goes nowhere | ||||||||||||||
46.2 | Nehra to Saeed Ajmal, no run, full, hooping through the air around off stump and it's tapped sheepishly to point | ||||||||||||||
46.1 | Nehra to Umar Gul, OUT, gone! Full, swinging, and Gul is struck flush on the foot as he swipes across the line. He asks for a review but to no avail, that's stone dead. Gul's unhappy day comes to an end. India are just one wicket away from a dream final | ||||||||||||||
Umar Gul lbw b Nehra 2 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 66.66 | |||||||||||||||
Nehra to bowl his last over. Misbah asks for a change of gloves. Long-off, third man and midwicket are out on the boundary, everyone else in the ring | |||||||||||||||
