2.2 to S Dhawan, what a catch!!!!! on a full length on the off stump, angling away from the left hander, tries to guide it to third man, gets a thick outside edge and Virat Kohli dives full length to his right at gully to take a brilliant one-handed catch. 10/1 6.2 to NV Ojha, full and wide outside the off, moving away just a touch, Ojha tries to drive it through the covers, the bat hits the ground as the ball goes to keeper. The fielders go up and the appeal for caught-behind is upheld. Ojha unlucky there! There was no deflection there, just the bat hitting the ground. 39/2
Pradeep Sangwan	8	0	39	1	4.87	28	3	0	1	1
43.6 to MS Gony, Gone!!! It's all over!!! on a good length outside the off stump, Gony gets under it and strikes it flat in the direction of long off where Virat Kohli takes a neat catch. India Green are out, and India Red qualify for the final. 199/10
Ashok Dinda	8	2	32	1	4.00	35	4	1	1	0
7.4 to SK Raina, short, just slightly outside the off, Raina attempts to pull it over mid wicket, comes on to him much quicker than expected, gets the leading edge to Pradeep Sangwan at mid off. Big wicket!! Dinda strikes in his first over!. 40/3

Big blow!! That was hitting middle and leg. 77/4 26.2 to R Bhatia, short and flat on the middle stump, tries to go for a mighty pull over mid wicket, gets a leading edge and the keeper runs just a couple of steps back to take a simple catch. The Greens are throwing it away here! Bhatia gone!!. 95/5
Ravichandran Ashwin	9	0	46	3	5.11	26	1	2	0	0
35.6 to YK Pathan, gone!!!!! Ashwin is brave enough to toss this one up once agin outside the off stump, Yusuf is tempted to go down the ground once again but does not time it well, drives it back uppishly to Ashwin who takes a comfortable catch. Could that be the decisive blow???. 154/6 39.5 to RP Singh, gone!!1 tossed up outside off, RP Singh goes down on one knee and tries to cross-bat it over long on, gets the elevation but not the distance, and finds the long on fielder perfectly stationed for that shot. Seven down!!!. 174/7 41.5 to CA Pujara, that doesn't matter anymore! tossed up outside the off, Pujara is tempted and dances down the track, lofts it in the direction of deep mid wicket, does not connect well enough, and finds Chetanya Nanda who takes an easy catch! That could well be it!. 182/8
