Ishant Sharma has now gone wicketless in three consecutive matches. This is how he has performed in the tournament: 2-34 (in 4 overs) v Bangladesh, 0-18 (in 3 overs) v Ireland, 0-31 (in 3 overs) v West Indies, and 0-36 (in 4 overs) v England on Sunday.
Ishant in fact has a pretty ordinary record in Twenty20 Internationals. In 8 T20 games, he has managed just four wickets at an average of 55.25 and an economy of 8.72.
The sixth-wicket unbroken partnership of 63 runs between Dhoni and Yusuf Pathan is India's best for this wicket, surpassing the 29-run partnership between Dhoni and Irfan Pathan against Pakistan at Durban in 2007-08.
The 71-run partnership between Ravi Bopara and Kevin Pietersen is the highest by any side for the second wicket against India. The previous best was 58 between New Zealand's Brendon McCullum and Peter Fulton at Johannesburg in 2007-08.
