   0.3 Oram to Gilchrist, no run, on the stumps and he defends but its an
        inside edge to leg
   0.4 Oram to Gilchrist, FOUR, a lovely straight drive that goes just
        past the bowler's end off stump
   0.5 Oram to Gilchrist, OUT: Not the ball to leave! It did just enough
        to nip back as Gilchrist decided to leave, clipped the off stump
        high
