Aah, Broad goes for another bouncer; Dravid bails out and that is the one bouncer for the over. Off the next short ball, Dravid pulls smashes that for another single.
Okay, if Dravid’s stroke was smashing, then at its polite best, Ajinkya Rahane deposits the next Broad-bouncer into the crowd. 50 in the seventh over as Broad looks to go back on his words of only bowling bouncers! Two pitched up balls follow, only a single results.
