Full commentary

And with that we come to the end of an exciting, if slightly controversial day of IPL cricket. Both matches got a little one-sided in the end but the talk of the games were the Gilchrist and Kallis run-out incidents, two senior pros getting very worked up in the middle. That's it from me, Suneer Chowdhary, but will be back tomorrow for the Delhi v Bangalore encounter. Till then ciao and have a good day ahead!

----------------------

Presentation:

Finch: We were very disappointing, 150 was too much on that wicket, did not bat too intelligently. We knew Narine was going to bat a few in the end and we had to cash in the first six.

Gambhir, also the man of the match tonight: Professional cricket from everyone, played smart cricket and lot of credit to Tendo for the way he batted. The bowlers bowled well too. Need to take it one game at a time, need to play quality cricket because we have a lot of quality in the dressing room.

----------------------

As comprehensive as it can get for KKR and Pune's situation can be summed up by Allan Donald's reaction after that last wicket, he had a wry smile on his face as if to say, "that's how life is for us!"

----------------------

Aaram: "Allan Donald with a ball in hand used to cut an intimidating figure; ah, how times change!" They do indeed.

shankar: "Last time I remember this reaction from Alan Donald he messed up the the run with Klusner on WC semi's against Australia." That would have hurt him much more I am sure.

Kapil: "Its sad to see Allan Donald like the way he is but he is responsible for this situation to certain extent.. Smith not playing initial games.. Dinda picked consistently even after failures.. And picking Marsh in almost all games and not playing Mendis against strong batting line ups"

Farhan Siddique: "@Shankar: That means you haven't seen him when Rahul Dravid hit him for Six."

Balaji to Rasool, OUT

whoa, what a catch! Balaji has taken a ripper! he was looking to go down the track and smash it back, the ball was a slower one and never came on to him, still manages to get a decent part of the bat on it, Balaji springs his hand out and grabs a superb catch, reflex, one-handed effort!

Parvez Rasool c & b Balaji 1 (4b 0x4 0x6 3m) SR: 25

Balaji to Upadhyay, 1 run

on his pads and tucked away to the leg side for a single

19.1
W
Balaji to Bhuvneshwar, OUT

bowled him, sneaks through his defences this time! he was looking to play it off the back foot but the ball's gone so low that there was no way he was getting close to it from that position, beaten and the off-stump's lying flat

Narine to Rasool, no run

ooh, tries to cut it away, it's a tad too quick for him and turning away too, beats the outside edge

Narine to Rasool, 1 run

goes down the track and Narine immediately shortens his length, can only tap it to the off side for a single

18.2
Narine to Rasool, no run

defended off the front foot to the off side

A rather forlorn figure of Allan Donald with a ball in his hand. Cuts a very sorry picture.

Narine to Parnell, OUT

and now Narine gets one, it was fuller on the off stump and hit straight to long-off, easily caught by Tiwary

Kallis to Rawat, OUT

edged and taken this time, Kallis does look back at the umpire who raises his finger that time! bouncer, outside the off stump but gets nowhere close to the middle, through to the keeper who takes a simple one

Mahesh Rawat c †Bisla b Kallis 5 (11b 0x4 0x6 18m) SR: 45.45

Kallis to Parnell, 1 run

slows it down to his countryman does Kallis and a forward defensive prod gets him a single to the off side

17.4
1
Kallis to Rawat, 1 run

shorter and slower and he throws the bat at it, quite hard at that but only for a single

Dhina: "Aint anybody asking this ? Where is Razoool? I am waiting to watch him bat." Lot of you are!

17.3
1
Kallis to Parnell, 1 run

slower one and pulled away to the mid-wicket fielder for a single

17.2
1
Kallis to Rawat, 1 run

pulled but not off the middle, the fielder at mid-wicket inside the circle was running towards his right and he takes some long steps, dives to his right too, gets his hand but fails to latch on, does Bhatia

Jury: "Oh dear lord.. What is wrong with PWI or rather what is right. Do they love losing so much that they find new ways to do it?"

17.1

Kallis to Parnell, 1 run

short of length and punched to the off side, through for a single to point

16.6
Narine to Rawat, no run

wants to sweep it away by getting outside the off stump, misses the bat and hits his pads, thankfully there's no appeal this time

16.5
1
Narine to Parnell, 1 run

shorter in length and turning away now, punched to long-off for a single

16.4
Narine to Parnell, no run

big appeal for a caught behind, that was turning back into the batsman and it beats him, goes between the bat and the pad and replays suggest it came off the thigh guard to the keeper

Narine to Rawat, 1 run

waits for it and pushes it to the off side this time

16.2

Narine to Parnell, 1 run

first delivery, on the middle stump and he tries to reverse sweep it, not off the middle and a single to what was originally his off side

Parnell is

16.1
W
Narine to Angelo Mathews, OUT

shorter and caught at long-on! he was looking to slog it away, did not get it off the middle of the bat because of the lack of pace, manages to only chip it to long-on and easily caught at long-on, a good knock but came too late

Angelo Mathews c Tiwary b Narine 40 (28b 0x4 4x6 41m) SR: 142.85

Narine continues. The run-rate is not even six yet.
