absolutely zero! Afridi hooks a short ball and gets a top edge over short fine leg, the ball bounces inside the boundary but runs over the rope, actually it might be given as a single if the batsmen crossed before the ball went over the boundary, nope it has been declared a four

11.13 pm local time: The Deccan Chargers have registered their second victory of the tournament. They've lost several close games during the first six matches but they won this by seven wickets and two overs to spare, which is a massive margin. Deccan's bowlers led the way by restricting Chennai to 144. Ojha in particular was impressive in the manner with which he tied up and then dismissed Dhoni.
Once Gilchrist got going, the match was over as a contest. He raced away to a half-century and Chennai were never in the game after that.
Chennai have now slumped to their third consecutive defeat, the second one at home. They have severe top-order issues to sort out for Parthiv, Fleming and the No 3, who keeps changing, are just not clicking. The frequent fall of wickets at the top curtails the stroke-makers that follow in the lower-middle order. Dhoni has echoed that thought at the presentation ceremony, saying that the top order is playing too many shots too soon.
Adam Gilchrist is the Man of the Match for his superb fifty and the way he captained the side in the absence of Laxman.
Thank you for tuning in to the coverage of today's game, and for all your emails. See you tomorrow, same time, same place. This is George Binoy signing off, good night.
