Nasir Jamshed c Irfan Pathan b Ashwin 112(104) [4s-10 6s-1]
Dinda to Hafeez, out Lbw!! Wonderful bowling by Dinda! Slower one on middle and leg. Hafeez goes down and tries to sweep it across the line but was deceived by the lack of pace and was through his shot far too early. He ends up missing the ball completely and gets struck on his back leg. Dinda appeals with immense enthusiasm and Ian Gould takes his time but eventually raises the index finger.
