- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.4 Vijay is run out It was flicked to left of square-leg ... and he sets off for a non-existent single as Yusuf is stationed there! Yusuf took couple of steps to his left, picked the ball and its around this time, Vijay started to turn back. Too late. Direct hit. Gone! 75/23.4 Yusuf takes out the big wicket .. It was flighted across and it dipped as a low full toss. Hayden was backing away outside leg and went for the big off drive but connected with the bottom of the bat .. the ball scoops across well to the right of Yusuf who very nonchalantly stretches his right hand out to pluck a low catch! 24/19.4 The off stump has been pegged back. Warne has struck. He slowed up the pace, tossed it on a length outside off stump, Raina went for the slog sweep but was too early through with his shot, beaten by the lack of pace on that one. The ball turned in ever so gently to hit the off stump. Timber! 79/315.4 Dhoni is run out and he is furious with Badri .. he had forced it to left of deep midwicket where Voges stops. Dhoni turned back for the second run, both batsmen collide mid-pitch and Dhoni loses his bat .. he runs on but obviously can't reach anywhere close. It would have been tight even if he had the bat in his hand. No chance without it. Dhoni is handed the bat by Warne and he storms off in anger 123/418.1 banged in short, Badri goes for the pull but mistimes it completely ... and is caught at midwicket ... 151/518.5 Albie's late charge ends. Tait the man with the breakthrough. He hurled across a bouncer and Albie could only pull it to Fazal at deep midwicket. The Rajasthan dug-out erupts! And why not! 155/6Extras6 (lb 3, w 3)TOTAL160/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.0)Fall of wickets: 1-24 (ML Hayden, 3.4 ov), 2-75 (M Vijay, 8.4 ov), 3-79 (SK Raina, 9.4 ov), 4-123 (MS Dhoni, 15.4 ov), 5-151 (S Badrinath, 18.1 ov), 6-155 (JA Morkel, 18.5 ov)
