Tait to Haq, 2 runs, OUT, Clarke misses a run-out but McGrath does it! Punched to cover and they set off for a run. Clarke fires in a throw at the non-striker's end, the batsman had given up but the ball misses the sticks. They run for overthrows. They turn greedy, they want two of them but Haq can' t beat McGrath's throw. He was looking pretty good in the middle but he has to get back to the hutch now.

25.2 Harbhajan Singh to Hussey, 2 runs, That was almost the third run-out of the innings! Hussey turns it past square, there was an easy single but the second was suicide! Haddin was woefully short when the throw came into Harbhajan who whipped off the bails at the non-strikers end, Haddin was initially given out but replays showed that Harbhajan had broken the stumps without the ball in his hand
In both cases the bowler lost
possession of the ball after breaking the stumps.. One was given, the other not

Maybe you should try to see what the predicto-meter says!
Check it out. Interesting!
Scribbler,
Thanks for your comments.
I saw that article late this morning, but thanks for pointing it out :)
Dunno how it dovetails with this post though :)
Homer - If I can recollect right, then Harbhajan did not have the ball in his hand when the stumps were broken. He had lost possession before breaking the stumps. That was the reason why Haddin was called back.
But yesterday, Tait broke the stumps with the ball in his hand...
Who Else,
Thanks for your comments.
Harbhajan had broken the stumps with the ball in his hand ( the bail had come off) but in completing the action he lost control.
If you look at the Haq run out yesterday, the very same thing happened with Tait.
Bhajji only needs to call Gibbs on the matter to feel a lot better
