The next one to go was Plunkett as he was trapped in front of the wicket by Munaf Patel as he played a wrong line across .
Hoggard who was the next man and much was expected of him to provide some kind of resistance at one end to allow Flintoff to play his natural game,but he also returned to pavilion because of a beautiful in swinging yorker which crashed on to his stumps to give Patel his fourth wicket of the innings.
Harmison who came after Hoggard provided some kind of resistance to Indian bowling which allowed Flintoff to play his natural game and he was able to garner the runs quickly as both of them added more than 45 odd runs for the Ninth wicket.
Just when they were looking good ,Harmison lost his wicket to beautiful piece of stumping by Dhoni who collected the a rank bad delivery from Anil Kumble on legside to dislodge the bails to get the wicket of Harmison who was well short of his crease.
