Pathan and Yuvaraj made India win

Yuvraj gets going
At 29 for 3, India were in trouble and desperately needed a substantial partnership. Yuvraj had faced six balls without scoring when Andrew Flintoff strayed down the legside, allowing Yuvraj to ease it down to the fine-leg boundary. Worse, he'd overstepped and India had a free hit. Flintoff dug it in short of a length and Yuvraj merely stayed at the crease and clubbed it high over midwicket for six. That set the tone for Yuvraj's knock and gave the innings the impetus it needed.

Pathan's final burst
Steve Harmison began the final over of the innings with India at a gettable 274 for 8. RP Singh swung across the line and was bowled off the first ball, and England's mood lifted. Munaf Patel stole a bye off the second ball, bringing Yusuf Pathan, on 33 off 25, onto strike. Over the next four balls England's target went from gettable to forgettable. Two consecutive good length deliveries were heaved over the on-side for six by Pathan, who followed up with a scoop for four over backward point and a single off the last ball. India had 18 off the over and a firm grip on the match
