Shane Watson	4	0	20	2	5.00	15	3	0	0	1
0.2 to R Dravid, caught! Dravid falls first ball! Watson bangs it in short, it didn't rise much and Dravid went for the pull, he didn't control it well and hit it high in the air towards long leg, Jadeja was position on the boundary line and took a well judged catch. 1/1 2.2 to S Chanderpaul, caught! This time Chanders tries to pull the ball against the angle across him, it was a trifle short and this time the top edge flies high and straight to Jadeja once again at third man, he tales another well-judged catch. 16/2
Sohail Tanvir	4	0	31	0	7.75	14	3	2	1	0
Munaf Patel	3	0	20	2	6.66	9	2	1	0	0
7.2 to LRPL Taylor, caught on the pull! Taylor moves towards the off side and tries to pull a short ball, he's hit it firmly but again there's no elevation and Smith takes a flat catch on the deep square leg boundary, Rajasthan are right back in this. 65/4 9.4 to V Kohli, caught! Virat backs away to a good length ball over off and middle stump and tries to cut through the off side, rather a rash shot that, he gets beaten by the extra bounce and feathers a nick through to Rawat. 77/5
Siddharth Trivedi	4	0	29	1	7.25	12	3	1	2	0
6.3 to JH Kallis, caught! The length wasn't short enough to play a pull but Kallis managed to make good contact, however he didn't get any elevation and placed it straight down Munaf's throat at long leg, that was a flat catch and it was well taken, Rajasthan have made a vital breakthrough. 59/3
Shane Warne	4	1	23	1	5.75	15	1	2	0	0
11.4 to MV Boucher, caught! Warne bowls the googly and Boucher tries to drive it through the off side, he gets beaten by the turn into him and gets a thick inside edge that hits Rawat on the pads and lobs up on the leg side, Rawat is alert to the situation and scampers across to catch the rebound. 78/6

Praveen Kumar	3	0	42	1	14.00	5	8	1	0	0
0.4 to M Rawat, caught! Rawat charged down the track and tried to swing Praveen over the leg side, the ball was on a good length and moved away from the right-hander, the ball grazed the outside edge and went through to Boucher who took an easy catch, Praveen is thrilled and pumped up!. 1/1
Zaheer Khan	4	0	24	1	6.00	15	5	0	0	0
3.2 to YK Pathan, that's gone high in the air and Boucher takes an excellent catch! Zaheer banged it in short, Yusuf lined up to play the pull, he tried to hit it from outside off and got a top edge that flew miles in the air towards a very fine fine leg region, Boucher ran after it and settled perfectly under a swirling catch. 26/2

15.6 to GC Smith, Smith falls one short of his fifty, he came down the track and chipped Joshi straight to Kumble at long-on, he didn't try to hit it with power and got his placement wrong, he was looking to hit it wider of long on I think. 130/3
