But Bichel's return led to wickets falling yet again. Flintoff
attempted to swing the Australian quick high on the leg side for
six but succeeded only in hitting it high and straight up in the
air, Gilchrist completing the easy catch. In Bichel's next over,
he bowled Stewart, while Ashley Giles completed Bichel's seven-
wicket haul with a checked drive to mid-off where Michael Bevan
plucked the ball out of the air with his fingertips. Bichel's
final figures were 10-0-20-7 and he thoroughly deserved them, for
he always kept the ball up, bowling straight and getting movement
throughout. England, then,went on to end their innings at 208/8,
a modest total at best.
