With the score 85-5 and England in the middle of a spectacular collapse against fine Indian swing bowling on an overcast day, Ian Bell lets a rising ball from Shreesanth go by outside the off stump. The score was soon 86-6 when the non-striker, Matt Prior, was caught at slip. Later, the Nottinghamshire bowlers Stuart Broad (64) and Graeme Swann (28) cheered the photographer on his birthday and the rest of a sell-out crowd with a brave ninth-wicket partnership of 73 which took England to 221 all out.

(Broad went on to take a hat-trick the following day - the first Test hat-trick at Trent Bridge and the first against India in Tests - and after being reinstated following a controversial run-out Bell scored 159 in England's second innings. England won by 319 runs on the fourth day.)
