- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 short outside the off stump, Jaffer shapes to pull and all that he manages to get is a top edge to mid off, where Finch takes an easy catch 3/13.3 on the leg stump,Laxman tries to flick and all that he manges to get a tickle to keeper. 10/29.3 gone! short of a good length delivery on the middle and off stump line, bit slower than the previous delivery - probably just rolled his fingers over, anyway Tendulkar tries to cut off the back-foot and ends up with an inside edge 38/341.5 on the middle stump. Ganguly goes for the booming drive, gets an inside edge to mid wicket where it is comfortably taken. The ball was not in the slot to drive, Ganguly pays for the error 121/4Extras10 (lb 1, nb 9)TOTAL133/4 (48 Overs, RR: 2.77, 203 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Wasim Jaffer, 1.5 ov), 2-10 (VVS Laxman, 3.3 ov), 3-38 (Sachin Tendulkar, 9.3 ov), 4-121 (Sourav Ganguly, 41.5 ov)
