India’s Fall of Wickets

How England Reached 338

England’s chase appeared to be under control for much of the middle overs. Strauss and Bell’s 170-run partnership moved the visitors to 281/2.

However, Bell was dismissed at 281, and Strauss fell on the very next delivery. That triggered a dramatic collapse.

England subsequently lost Collingwood, Prior, Yardy and Bresnan, leaving the visitors in serious trouble. According to ICC’s account, England entered the final over needing two runs to win. 

Graeme Swann and Ajmal Shahzad were left to complete the chase. Shahzad hit a six off the first ball of the final over, dramatically changing the equation. England eventually needed two runs from the final delivery, but Swann managed only one.

That single run took England to 338/8, exactly level with India’s 338.

The key figures are internally consistent: India’s 323 runs from its batters plus 15 extras produced 338, while England’s 327 runs from its batters plus 11 extras produced 338.

The most important correction from the earlier version is India’s final sequence: Piyush Chawla was dismissed for 2 as the ninth wicket at 338, followed by Zaheer Khan’s run-out for 4 as the tenth wicket on the next ball. Thus, India’s official final score was 338 all out in 49.5 overs, while England finished 338/8 in 50 overs. ICC independently confirms both totals and the tied result.
