| 32.5 Nehra to Hussey, Ponting is run out. Again Hussey and Ponting involved in a run out. It was Flintoff then, it is Gambhir this time. Hussey drove it to left of sweeper cover and immediately called out two. Both ran as hard as they could but Gambhir rushed to his left, picked the ball and fired in a direct hit from the deep at the non-striker's end. Even if it wasn't a direct hit, Ponting was likely to get out. What a big wicket. What a way for Ponting to go. He was looking so good out there. 175/3
