Kasprowicz to bowl
44.1 Kasprowicz to McCullum, two runs, pushed to mid-on and a diving
thow strikes the stumps and in a blink another run taken and

are safe
Long delay, perhaps tactical there, as filders moving around and 3
minutes gone

over head high

off the bottom to fine leg

to the cover sweeper

Lee now
45.1 Lee to McCullum, no run, short and he ducks
45.2 Lee to McCullum, one run, pushed to mid-off
45.3 Lee to Marshall, FOUR, short and it hits the blade and the pace
carries it over a leaping McGrath at third man as he had rushed
the ball
A delay as discussions going on as things like plastic bottles and
sundries being thrown at deep fielders
Security moves in, removing the objects
45.4 Lee to Marshall, one run, short and he swivels to pull it to long
leg
45.5 Lee to McCullum, no run, short and on the off, partly ducks and
sways away

BB McCullum c Katich b Lee 8 (13b 0x4 0x6)
HJH Marshall 71* (65b 6x4) B Lee 8.3-1-35-2 (2w 2nb)
Vettori in but Marshall to face as they crossed

47.5 Lee to Marshall, one run, short and its cut to third man, as 13

Mills in
McGrath it is

stumps

them problems now
They could have done better going for singles

48.3 McGrath to Mills, one run, full toss driven to deep cover
