13.1 Harbhajan Singh to Ponting, what drama. Ponting almost gives a return catch off a leading edge and as it turns out it is Symonds who is run out. It was floated in the air, full and it curved away at the last minute, Ponting tried to play across the line and got a leading edge. The ball lobbed up towards say .. short cover and Harbhajan couldn't reach it. Huge hesitation as Ponting sets off for a run before stopping and again proceeding before stopping again! Symonds was sold a dummy and couldn't get back to the non-striker's end. Harbhajan Singh threw the ball to Yuvraj who takes the bails off. Chaos. 110/3
