| 74.2 | OUT | Ojha to Prior, out Bowled!! Ojha gets a well deserved five wicket haul. It was nicely flighted on middle, Prior tries to make room to loft it over cover but misses and the ball turns to hit the off stump. That's his 4th fiv-fer in Tests. Prior b Ojha 48(100) [4s-7] | 191/10 |
| 73.5 | OUT | Zaheer to Broad, out Lbw!! Zaheer finally gets some respite. It was nipping in sharply from outside off, Broad was inside the crease as it struck him on the front pad.

| 73.1 | FOUR | Zaheer to Broad, leg byes, FOUR, Zaheer strays onto leg now and it grazes Broad's pads to race through fine leg for a boundary | 183/8 |

| 69 | SIX | Ashwin to Broad, SIX, the carrom ball from Ashwin but Broad picks it early, gets down on one knee and smacks it over the long on boundary. He is not in a mood to just hang about | 166/8 |
| 68.1 | FOUR | Ashwin to Broad, FOUR, very full outside off and Broad is trying to get on top early, he leans forward and slaps it hard through extra cover | 156/8 |

| 154.3 | OUT | Zaheer to Bresnan, out Caught by (sub)Rahane!! That's the end of Bresnan and England. 76 runs lead is all they managed. Good catch by Rahane who was on the field for Gambhir for the last two days. Bresnan drove it in the air, couldn't keep it down, finds the fielder who dived to his left to take a good one. Bresnan c (sub)Rahane b Zaheer 20(48) [4s-1] | 406/10 |
| 153.5 | OUT | Ashwin to Swann, out Bowled!! Swann b Ashwin 17(31) [4s-2 6s-1] | 406/9 |
| 153.2 | FOUR | Ashwin to Swann, FOUR, the reverse sweep again. The lead is growing. In the channel outside off, Swann reverse paddles it to third man for four. Can't do much about those | 406/8 |
| 150.3 | FOUR | Zaheer to Swann, FOUR, a low full toss down the leg side, Swann flicks it to deep backward square leg, these are useful runs for England | 399/8 |
| 149.4 | SIX | Ojha to Swann, SIX, you'll see that with Swann. Off the mark with a 6! Sees the flight and plays a slog sweep, clears deep square leg easily | 394/8 |
| 148.1 | FOUR | Umesh Yadav to Bresnan, byes, FOUR, wayward delivery from Umesh and Dhoni is very angry. Down the leg side, doesn't cary to Dhoni and goes way to his left as well, he dives but doesn't stop it. He then shouts at the bowler, you don't see that too often! | 388/8 |

| 15.3 | FOUR | Swann to Virat Kohli, FOUR, flighted delivery on the middle and leg, Kohli drives it down the ground. That ends the match, Kohli is all pumped up while Pujara is standing calm. India go 1-0 up in the 4 match series. | 77/1 |
| 14.5 | FOUR | Samit Patel to Virat Kohli, FOUR, 4 dot balls and Kohli has seen enough. Overpitched delivery, Kohli reaches out and drives it hard to long on. Just 2 more needed | 75/1 |
| 13.1 | FOUR | Swann to Pujara, FOUR, just a flick! Goes deep in the crease and whips it with the turn, the timing is superb and it goes to the fence | 71/1 |
| 10.2 | FOUR | Samit Patel to Virat Kohli, FOUR, this man is class as well. A perfect cover drive. Good stride, leans into the shot and place it wide of extra cover, off the mark in style | 65/1 |
| 10 | FOUR | Swann to Pujara, FOUR, Sehwag's dismissal makes no difference to Pujara. Sees the short ball and pulls it away through deep mid wicket for a boundary | 61/1 |
| 9.5 | OUT | Swann to Sehwag, out Caught by Pietersen!! Sehwag tries to finish it soon and perishes. Comes down the track and lofts, gets more height than distance on it, KP was a few yards inside near long on and had to run back, he judges it well and also makes sure he doesn't fall over the ropes. Sehwag c Pietersen b Swann 25(21) [4s-1 6s-1] | 57/1 |
