39.4 Sreesanth to Saqlain Mushtaq, no run, Saqi is at it again. It was full and outside off and he backed away a touch in an effort to slog it over cover. The bat hits the ground and there is an appeal. Sreesanth points to cover region and asks Saqlain to have another go
39.5 Sreesanth to Saqlain Mushtaq, no run, ah! here comes the bouncer. Saqi ducks under. Sreesanth gives a icy cold stare, Saqlain smiles back at him.
39.6 Sreesanth to Saqlain Mushtaq, no run, This is fun. Saqlain charges out again, Sreesanth hurls another bouncer and the ball climbs over the flashing blade. The batsman and the bowler have a chat.
Then Kumble slips in an uneventful over except a boundary. Next ball onwards the fun continues:
41.1 Sreesanth to Saqlain Mushtaq, no run, length-delivery on the off stump, Saqlain gets right behind it to defend to the off side.
Saqlain walks towards the bowler and says, "tu ka Shoaib Akhata hai ka?" ( Are you Shoaib Akthar?!)
41.2 Sreesanth to Saqlain Mushtaq, no run
41.3 Sreesanth to Saqlain Mushtaq, no run, More chatter. full and outside off, squeezed out to point
Saqlain to Sreesanth." Chahe out ho jaaon, main tero ko chakka maroonga! ( Even if I get out I will hit you for a six! He said smilingly.
41.4 Sreesanth to Saqlain Mushtaq, OUT, Oh ... the fun ends. Saqlain gets out without hitting a six. It kicked up from a length, on the off stump line and Saqlain dropped his wrists and got his bat out of the way. It appears as if the ball thudded in to the elastic strap of the left glove and flew to second slip. Saqi is not happy with the decision. Did it his forearm. The replays are not conclusive . Sreesanth celebrates with a jig.
Alas! It didnt continue for long!
