Gayle gloved AK to MSD...commentator says very clear on slow-motion....SNICKO also says Bat on it and then onto glove.

Taufel says no.
Score remains 72-3

Otherwise Gayle gone and 72-4

Unlucky for India.

As I write, SS strikes...LARA out.
If Taufel had given, now LARA and GAYLE out.
T'was quite clear...ball hit the bat, climbed onto the glove onto forehand and then balloned up to Dhoni to catch...Dont know what was Taufel smoking? Ruchir - is this where u wanted RD to dispute saying "Believe my guys...MSD and AK says its out...I STAND BY MY GUYS...I did want RD to do that and see what Lara says"
72-3 Indeed, shud be 72-4

well, let's not get greedy here .. may have an iffy decision coming our way too ...

[ruchir]

finleg: Gayle would have been one wkt where RD would have brought in the *faith* card. But now is too early. On second thoughts, now that Lara is gone, if there is another tight one given in favor of Gayle, RD can surely bring out the faith card....

Maybe!

BTW, from ci:
And that's lunch on the final day. A session that belonged completely to India. They took out Ganga, got rid of Sarwan, prised out the vital wicket of Lara, and on a another day Taufel might have ruled Gayle out, but despite that, India have really tightened the noose.

GAYLE two lives (out first ball of Munaf in first inn, not given) and now lucky reprieve of Taufel.
Hope GAYLE is nailed soon after lunch. please grant me my wish of Indian win against this crybaby captain's team.

Laras LBW is not clearly plump probably going over the stumps. anyway he can cry in dressing room this time.
This has compensated gayles misses by umpires.

hawkeye begs to differ, sqc. hitting the top of the stump. he wasnt forward much and was trapped on middle stump. good that asad rauf (the guy he snatched the ball from) gave him out

ahhhh ... maybe that's why .. it was a very delayed decision .. SS actually grimaced when his long appeal seemed to be getting nowhere ... before suddenly the finger went up ... that scene from yesterday must have suddenly flashed through Rauf's mind

I think Lara was out.  Poetic justice in the end.

WI now 108-3
Gayle and CPaul have added 36 runs rather decent or quick rate.

Kumble struggling a bit bowling to two left-handers.
Here is where an offie may be missed. Lets get Viru on.

If RD does not get Viru for a long time, I think it may be a strategic mistake by RD not getting an offie?

[fineleg]

Gayle and CPaul trying to dig themselves in to ensure a draw?

Cmon RD needs to think up a few tricks to get a breakthrough here...

Use Sehwag, Use Yuvraj...do some tricks.

Kumble getting predictable to two lefties...Mix it up, RD.
