Huge round of hugs in the Punjab camp. Preity Zinta of hugging fame is naturally delighted. Lee has certainly made a huge difference with bat and ball. Jayawardene set it up and the result could've gone either way when he was dismissed. Yuvraj and Sangakkara got a good stand going before both threw it away with silly shots in the same over.

So Punjab move to No.5 and share points with Deccan, who are one place above.

Presentation time.

Gilchrist: "We should have closed it out, but another exciting game. It was a funny wicket, it perhaps came on a lot better later on. We didn't quite execute a few deliveries towards the end. But an intriguing contest."

Yuvraj: "I was very cross with my shot and we needed one partnership and Irfan and Mahela did that. Lee really helped us. Jayawardene has always done well under pressure but unfortunately he has pulled a hamstring."

Jayawardene is the Man of the Match. "The hamstring's not doing that great. I knew I had to be there till the end. I knew we needed big boundaries. Me and Irfan spoke about batting another five overs. We were never behind the 8-ball."

That's it from me for the moment. Stay on for Rajasthan v Chennai. Goodbye!

Singh to Lee, 1 run

that's it! Angles it on the pads and he clips it on the up just wide of short mid-on's reach, Lee leaps and the Punjab camp is a picture of relief

Scores are level! Symonds joins Gilchrist in the discussion. Packed off side field/ Will they snatch a bye?

Singh to Lee, 2 runs

drops it on a length outside off and Lee reaches out and slaps it down to long-off and pushes hard for the second run

Yet another discussion. RP seems cool enough

19.3
Singh to Lee, no run

a little slower and Lee doesn't pick it and swishes at thin air, man that was close to the offstump

Gilchrist runs across to have a word with RP. Mid-off goes back and third man comes in

Singh to Chawla, 1 run

clips it very close to the pads and they take a single, where are the yorkers?

19.1

Singh to Chawla, FOUR runs

that's four runs less! RP bangs it in short and that too down the leg side so it allows a free swing of the arms, he hooks it just in front of the rope at fine leg

That six has put Punjab as the favourites. This has been on pulsating passage of play. Don't go anywhere! RP will bowl the final over

brute power! Pitched up outside off and Lee gets under the bounce and gives it a flat thwack over long-off's reach, it seemed like it would land down the fielder's throat but he got enough elevation

Ojha to Mahela Jayawardene, 1 run, OUT

he gets width and cuts to sweeper cover, he turns around for the second run and he's struggling to make his ground, the throw from Teja is flat and quick and Gilchrist whips off the woodwork, the batsman is short of his crease and the decision goes upstairs
