13.1 I Sharma to Bell, FOUR, that's cut with awesome power, the length was short and there was width as well, Bell stayed in his crease and cracked it past Yuvraj, he's hit eight fours in his 44
What England's batsmen - Bell in particular - have done effectively is to change the bowler's length by coming down the pitch. And when the length has been short, they've stayed in the crease and pulled at will.
