Vettori to Khan, OUT, 85.3 kph, and Vettori is on a hat-trick! So is Umpire Davis! Moves across, does Zaheer, to a straight length ball, and is done in by the lack of spin. Hit smack in front of stumps, given out, but Zaheer can't believe it because he reckons there is an inside edge, and replays confirm that - a late inside edge. Not as blatant as Laxman's, and Davis must have thought it to be pad first
Vettori to Laxman, OUT, 86.8 kph, that cannot be out! Laxman is stunned! He has hit the leather off this arm ball. Big inside edge, big deflection, but given lbw by Umpire Steve Davis, who has had a ripper of a game so far. The only blemish, but that denies Laxman another second-innings century. He walks back in disbelief - CRIC INFO.COM

good comments dakshina u should hv been in cricket board rather than coming to a diff line , dkashina murthy swamigal ,, koo
"The wall" title is now onwards for VSL only, that guy always stands between defeat & India like a rock. When everyone fails, he is our last man standing. Bravo VS. When it comes to bet your life on a single ball under stormy conditions, any time I will put my money on VS than even Tendulkar.
At least we can take heart from d fact that inspite of struggling with his bowling form, Bhajji has helped d team with d willow...n not 2 forget VVS...he unargueably has d best experience in handling pressure situations.....Not a win 4 Team India this time but opening d way for a draw this time..
U know, No 6 is not Laxman's ideal position to bat at... He has already expressed his desire to bat at No 3 which is his favourite position and he made that mammoth 281 against Auz in that position...Still he is saving his team from defeat at no 6 several times...Hats off to Laxman... He is the greatest Indian batsman...
Here is prediction of the comments which will be posted by all the loser's on this forum, if Bhajji/VVS score centuries and match is drawn: VVS and Bhajji are selfish and only play for records as India has never won when they have scored centuries !!!!
