DIMI Mascarenhas re-lived his five-sixes-in-an-over heroics for England.

The Hampshire all-rounder hit Yuvraj Singh's slow left-arm for five successive sixes at the end of the England innings. "It's what I have been doing for Hampshire for the last four or five years," said Mascarenhas, before admitting his previously best was three sixes in an over. "After the second one, I thought I am seeing it pretty well here, I am just swinging hard'.

"They just hit the middle of the bat - and Yuvraj probably bowled them in the right areas for me.

"If you ask him, I guess he'd think he just got it a little bit wrong."

The first six would have been a four had Piyush Chawla not carried the ball over - and Mascarenhas recalled: "I saw him catch it and just thought touch the rope, touch the rope'.

"Sometimes you need a bit of luck."

Winning India captain Rahul Dravid could only stand and watch.

"I've never seen hitting quite like that," he said.

"If Piyush had caught the first one, it would have been different.

"After that one I said to Yuvraj don't worry - he'll edge the next one'.

"Then I said it after the second one - but, after the third one, I gave up!"
