SPORT-IND-LD TEA 2 LAST
 (REOPEN FGN 40)
       The spirited Uttar Pradesh seamer tried to bowl a fuller
 length and repeatedly drew the batsmen forward and was
 rewarded in his third over with the second new ball when he
 had both Bell (45) and Eoin Morgan (0) caught behind by Dhoni
 in a space of four deliveries. His spell with the second new
 ball read 7-2-20-2.
       Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni himself signified the
 spirit of world’s best team by bringing himself on to bowl
 straightaway after lunch, sending five overs on a trot.
       Pietersen was batting on 73 when Dhoni angled one into
 him and it looked like the batsman nicked it to part-time
 keeper Rahul Dravid. Umpire Billy Bowden had raised his finger
 but Pietersen decided to review it and was adjudged not out.
       Although he didn't trouble Ian Bell too much, Pietersen
 did survive a confident leg before shout in the first ball
 of his spell. The decision went in favour of the batsman as it
 apparently struck Pietersen outside the line of stumps.
       Though Dhoni has previously turned his arm over in Tests
 three times, he has never ever bowled beyond the first over.
 He bowled for the first time in a Test match against Pakistan
 at Faisalabad and then against England at Mohali and New
 Zealand at Ahmedabad.
       Interestingly Dhoni has a wicket in ODIs against West
 Indies. He had bowled Travis Dowlin in an ICC Champions Trophy
 match at Johannesburg. PTI AS
