            "15.3 Pattinson to Warner, 1 run, 118.2kph, back of a length, taking pace off, keeping it outside off for Warner to have to reach out. And he does connect this time, to guide it to third man ",

            "14.1 Coulter-Nile to W Saha, no run, 117kph, in-cutter into the tummy. Saha gets cramped in what looked like an initial attempt to cut, and so drops his wrists, opens his bat face and runs out to short third man ",
            "13.6 D Kulkarni to Warner, 2 runs, 105.4kph, and very comfortable. Around the fourth-stump, which Warner lines up to and punches through point ",
