Sehwag chose to cut a rising delivery from Brett Lee, too close to his body,and offered a straightforward catch to Matthew Hayden at first slip. However, the television replays suggested that it was a big no ball from the Australian speedster.Sehwag batted for two-and-a-half hours and hit six fours from 90 balls.Ganguly, probably still reeling at his shock omission from the one-day squad, made seven before he missed a sweep and was ruled out leg before wicket off Brad Hogg by umpire Asad Rauf.Bret Lee took two wickets of Laxman and Virender Sehwag.Johnson strking the wickets of Dravid and Pathan. Hogg got Ganguly LBW on his contentious bowl.
