It didn’t help that the Indian spinners failed to hunt as a pair, while neither Zaheer or Ishant managed to get reverse swing going with the old ball. While Pietersen dished out the treatment to Zaheer, Ishant and Harbhajan in equal measure, Flintoff picked Mishra out for special attention, getting 36 of his 62 runs against the leg-spinner.
Mishra had the last laugh though, off the last ball of the day, when he had Flintoff brilliantly caught at short-leg by Gautam Gambhir to bring the Test match to bring India right back in the hunt.
