Harbhajan Singh v Ricky Ponting has been one of cricket’s premier bowler-batsman battles since 2001. And it resumed in Nagpur with Harbhajan on 299 Test wickets. Ponting scored the first point, lofting Harbhajan with the turn over midwicket. But it was the offspinner who won the round by turning an offbreak past an attempted cut to hit the stumps and notch up wicket No. 300. It was the tenth time Harbhajan had dismissed Ponting, the first time bowled.
