1.6 to S Sohal, makes room outside leg and smokes one full around middle and leg, but slams it straight at a nice catchable height to mid off. 13/1
Ryan McLaren	3	0	33	2	11.00	6	4	1	0	1
17.1 to JP Duminy, Duminy is gone, this is a big wicket for Punjab, looked to drill a fuller one over the straight boundary, played a bit early and spooned it high up in the air for Piyush at long off to settle under it and take it cleanly. 129/5 17.3 to MS Gony, McLaren goes through Gony's defenses first ball, angled in on the stumps from a length, Gony is caught in the crease and misses the line of the ball, middle stumps gets uprooted. 137/6

10.6 to KC Sangakkara, well, he hasn't bowled particularly well this over, but he gets a wicket, Sanga goes down on the knee for the slog sweep, but hits it straight to deep midwicket. 88/2
Paul Valthaty	4	0	29	4	7.25	9	2	1	1	0
11.5 to S Dhawan, well, well, when it goes your way, it goes all the way, a foot outside leg stump, and he sweeps it straight to short fine leg. 91/3 14.5 to B Chipli, Chipli chips in the air wide of long on this time, but the fielder runs in from deep midwicket and takes it cleanly, Valthaty strikes again, it was the split finger slower one, like Dilhara Fernando bowls. 112/4 18.5 to DT Christian, Dan misses and Paul hits, went for the big slog down the ground, missed the length ball and Paul hits the top of off stump. 156/7 18.6 to A Mishra, yet another wicket for Paul, what is happening, Mishra went outside off and went for the scoop over short fine leg, misses the ball and was struck on the pads, umpire thinks that is a goner, and Paul is grinning widely. 156/8

13.6 to AC Gilchrist, Mishra gets Gilly with a flat half-tracker, Gilly pulls it straight to deep square leg, he did not have to move at all, Mishra gives him a send-off, gesturing towards the dressing room, Gilly acknowledges the generous applause as he walks back. 136/1 15.6 to PC Valthaty, he is gone finally, looked to belt another one over long on, but could not time it well, Iishant took a well-judged catch running to his left from long on. 151/2
