00:00Roll drive at next man in, lots of responsibility on his shoulders, wickets are falling consistently here

00:06The last one to go was Sachin Tendulkar, just slashed this one to Jacob Orr

00:10Not bad for a bloke who's 6 foot 6 to get down there and take that catch

00:13That's brilliant stuff, and then Tuffy

00:16Has eventually had the last laugh here, he got pasted to the first 3 balls of the over, came back and got a wicket

00:23Tell you what, this is another difficult catch made to look easy

00:26Normally when you're at point, catches that are to your left or to your right are the easier ones

00:31This was right down on his right leg, those are the difficult ones to go down on

00:36Whenever he's bowled fuller, he's created problems for the Indian batsman

00:56This is over pitch and wide, and that's the reason Dravid went after it

01:00Just got the impression he was grabbing at it

01:07He knew that was a big one, that would have been the 4th for New Zealand

01:12Just maybe hard hands on that one, Dravid should consider himself very very fortunate, keepers gobbled those

01:25Through the gap, forget about chasing that, that's beautifully timed

01:30It's 27 for 3

01:36That was the Yorker, just a little full

01:40Just too full and too wide

01:47Well he's got to go for wickets Shane Bond, there's no doubt about it, and I just got the feeling Dravid was expecting it

01:53Bat coming down in good time, slicing it away, pass point

02:01That's the problem Fleming will have, he has to attack, he has to try and pick up wickets

02:06Which means as a batsman if you play the waiting game, you will have the opportunities to get the boundary

02:19Over the top of Harris, only just, and Bond is a tad unlucky again

02:27It's 40 for 3 after 10

02:34He hit that over the top of Chris Harris and did he get a finger to that?

02:39Got a feeling he might have, I thought it cleared initially

02:45Must have been a faint touch but very difficult, Bond unlucky, in fact getting a good finger to it

02:58That's a handy shot, smashing clever drive

03:07That should do his confidence no harm whatsoever, that's the most confident shot he's played

03:15Shane Bond over pitching, but what is good to see here with this shot was the stride from Mohamed Kev

03:22Nice stride down the track, just freeing his arms and finding the gap on the offside

03:27That was powerfully struck

03:33So the target for the Indians now less than 100, 98 to be exact

03:39Good shot, through the covers of the runaway for 4

03:44Harris gives up on it already

03:47Once again beautifully executed by Mohamed Kev, he's looking a million dollar out there

03:53He's finding the gaps, the timing is there and importantly the approach is really to look for runs

03:59And then coming down heavily on that delivery, a little short in link also

04:12That's it, flashed away, if you're going to play the shot, play it hard, top edge and it's flown away for 4

04:20And the other thing just to think about is the fact that Raul Dravid is keeping wicket

04:26So maybe that's a factor, but if you're going to flash, flash hard, he's got a lot of bat on that

04:32It's flown over slip

04:35And perilously close to gully once again

04:38Nearly New Zealander going through a torrid time

04:42We've had an orthodox catch, an ordinary catch go down

04:45We've had two fingertip touches, one in the gully, one at cover

04:48This is so close to the gully fielder

04:51Scott Styrus is the man

04:54And we're away from him

04:57Had to be a miracle catch

05:00But New Zealander in need of a miracle out there

05:03Scott Styrus inches away from that

05:06Darrell Tuffy thought it was very close

05:14Good shot, beautiful stroke

05:17Mohamed Kaif, just in time

05:21Good shot, beautiful stroke

05:24Mohamed Kaif just oozing with confidence now

05:33This is a lovely cover drive

05:36Punched it beautifully, it was not a hard hit from Mohamed Kaif, just pure timing

05:42And the great thing about that shot was the placement

05:47Sweating the ball in that fashion

05:50Finding that acute gap through the cover

05:53Really a master shot

06:01That's the 50 partnership

06:04The first 50 partnership of the game

06:0871 balls, so it's coming at a good rate as well

06:11Without it having to

06:17Oh!

06:20It's put away, and we'll go for 4

06:23A lovely way for India to finish the over

06:2679 now for 3

06:39He makes no secret of the fact he's going to try and bounce this guy out

06:43Chip away at him, he'll smile away

06:46And Rahul Dravid's coming straight down the wicket to Mohamed Kaif

06:49And said don't be sucked in by this stuff

06:52We've done all the hard work, we can win this game ourselves

06:56Don't get into a battle with him

06:59Good partnership so far, 58 runs, 87 balls

07:03Another bounce up, well directed

07:06It's just a question of, from a batting point of view

07:09Whether you're prepared to weather the storm

07:12And see, he's starting to lose the battle because he's talking back to the bowler

07:16And you don't want that, Dravid should step in again

07:19Yes there's quite a bit of chat there wasn't there

07:22And Peter Willey also getting a little bit concerned

07:25A bit of chat between Dravid and Kaif, McMillan and Kaif

07:28And I think every man in black out there in the field was having a go

07:31Now that one's pitched up and caught him on the back foot

07:34Expecting a shorter one again

07:43He'll soon step in if it gets out of hand

07:48McMillan having a go and Mohamed Kaif just saying the odd word

07:53And look at the scoreboard I think might have been the call

07:56There we go, it's on here in the middle

07:59It's on for young and old in fact

08:02Now Peter Willey's decided he's having a go

08:06He's stepping in, he's a tough man Peter Willey

08:09It's all happening in the middle now

08:16There's Peter Willey just having a...

08:22Peter Willey just applying a bit of masking tape there

08:25Brilliant stuff, nice humour from Peter Willey

08:32Looking for two, should be able to pick up two

08:35Nathan Astle is down there

08:38And they stroll back comfortably for the second

08:51Great running, Chris Keynes is not the fittest man in the outfield

08:56And Mohamed Kaif is certainly the fittest

09:01Brings up the hundred

09:03Which means India just need 47 now to win

09:09It's a 50 for Mohamed Kaif

09:12Another valuable innings for his team

09:17What a shot to bring up your 50

09:21Lovely stroke play from Mohamed Kaif

09:24Very good in defence and very good when he's attacking through the offside

09:31That's a splendid cover drive

09:33Darryl Tuffy, just a little shot and he played it on the up

09:40He's played it fine, he'll look for the second

09:42There's a third man there

09:46And eventually makes it, oh no

09:48The third umpire has been called for, Peter Willey

09:51Asking the question, Darryl Tuffy's got the ball

09:54And he's got it

09:56The third umpire has been called for, Peter Willey

09:58Asking the question, Dravid thinks he's made it

10:02There isn't too much excitement in the New Zealand camp

10:06Well I thought it was touch and go

10:08Good flat throw from the deep

10:11Shane Bond was the fielder

10:14Rahul Dravid quickly across for the second

10:18And yes, got there in the end

10:20Stretched really well, extended his arms to ground the bat

10:27And yes, couple of frames in

10:31This is absolutely brilliant running from Rahul Dravid

10:35Must be tired and knocked out is the call from the third umpire

10:42Indians looking for the pull and he'll get the boundary

10:46Not from the meat of the bat

10:48But there was a lot of vacant space in that area

10:51And the partnership is now a hundred runs

10:57That was a good shot from Rahul Dravid in the end

11:00Because he rigged the length really well

11:02Chris Harris knocked very quick

11:04So Dravid had plenty of time to go back

11:09Beautiful stroke

11:12Obviously, for all games when needed

11:15Shots in the game, the on drive
