The man with the golden boots put the magic in the cup with some sublime pieces of trickery that had the home fans on their feet and some bemused Millwall players on their backside.
Hook, once again struggling with the boot, should have slotted over a three-point attempt early in the second half but it was quickly forgotten as veteran wing Shane Williams, playing in the final World Cup match of his career, produced a moment of magic in the 49th minute.
But as soon as Paine fell to Yuvraj, life became very awkward for the World Cup holders as one Indian spinner after another - with Chawla the pick of them - weaved their magic under the floodlights.
