Ricky Ponting waits in his crease as the third umpire deliberates on his status. Anderson's delivery had ricocheted towards the slips following Ponting's hopeless swipe and the ball was narrowly caught by Strauss. Replays showed Ponting's bat was nowhere near the ball; instead he should have been given out LBW. Either way, he's gone and Australia are 10-2... Photograph: Tom Shaw/Getty Images
