The Australians put together a first wicket partnership of 103 runs. Zaheer Khan removed Slater (42)who was distinctly unlucky to get a poor decision from the umpire. Harbhajan removed the in-form batsman Matthew Hayden (97) and Mark Waugh (22). Khan also accounted for Justin Langer (58). Australia were 252/4 at the beginning of the 72nd over bowled by Harbhajan Singh. What followed was the making of history. With the second ball of the over he trapped Ricky Ponting (6)plumb in front of the wicket.
