        straight to fielder
  48.3 Nasir Siddiqi to Bagai, FOUR, thin edge past keeper as he tries to

       has Joseph turned it for Canada?
       Khan to bowl the last over, 18year old Bagai to face
       Canadian player runs over to confirm 5 to win, last over
  49.1 Khuram Khan to Bagai, one run, no nerves at all this lad, late cut
        and runs
       great atmosphere here
  49.2 Khuram Khan to Joseph, no run, immaculate forward defence! no-one
        expected that
  49.3 Khuram Khan to Joseph, no run, huge wind up big drive- but along
        the ground back to the bowler
  49.4 Khuram Khan to Joseph, four runs, I'm lost for words, has a tense
        match like this ever been won by an all run four?
       How to describe that? Jospeh clubbed it to long off, they ran two,
        Joseph wanted three
       Bagai stayed put, and both bats at wrong end
       panic throw over the keeper's head, Bagai scrambles home
       only to find Jospeh beside him again
       he sprinted to the non-striker's end to beat the throw, raising his
        arms aloft in triumph
       What a strange and wonderful finish
       Amazing stuff, but to be fair some poor cricket, but in the
        circumstances forgivable
