leg stump again, it's all over, Malinga can't go for the hat-trick because Anureet Singh won't bat. This was a perfect yorker, full, fast, low, base of leg stump, Dinda saves the toe, little mercy that
MI vs KKR, 17th match at Gqeberha, IPL, Apr 27 2009 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Presentation: Danny M gets it wrong, thanking everyone on behalf of "LPI", that on a second attempt. Saying that in front of Lalit Modi. Somebody could become Donald Trump to punish that capital offense.
Also Lasith "Slinga" Malinga has now taken the purple cap with that two-wicket over.
Brendon McCullum: "We need to look deep inside ourselves, and find a way now." No excuses.
Sachin Tendulkar: "It was wonderful. A good partnership for us. Sanath picked the pace quite well, because initially I took all the strike.
Everything went to our plan. Maybe we could have got 200, but everything else went right."
Sachin is also the Man of the Match. Thanks for joining us. Okay bye.

Mumbai have run through Kolkata here. Clinical, graceful, aggressive. Sachin and Sanath was the best batting show of this IPL. Although they didn't get 200, Mumbai's bowling was always going to be too good.
Dinda to bat, toe or stump?
team-mate to team-mate, and what a beauty, Malinga is already backing away looking to save his toes, but Malinga bowls an accurate slower delivery, 100ks, there is nothing defending the stumps here, and the leg stump goes out
Malinga back, they are going in for the kill
Ishant makes room, and hits his opening partner through the covers, but too little too late
good judgement from Jayasuriya, at the long-on boundary, this was a length delivery on the stumps and Shukla got under it, clean shot but doesn't have the power to to clear long-on, where Jayasuriya takes an overhead catch, inches inside the boundary
short, into the boyd, and turned away with one hand
again he makes room, Zaheer follows him, and Shukla gets an inside edge through to the keeper, Shah
Shukla backs away again, and misses again, it goes over the stumps and Shukla misses completely
back of a length, gets rib-high for Ishant, he drops his wrists and takes a single to cover
Zaheer is on, bowling over the wicket
makes room again, does Shukla, Bravo follows him with a short delivery, Shukla sees it, pulls, connects and clears midwicket, it falls inches inside the boundary
makes room again, and he beats him from the other side this time, slower ball, outside off, and is too wide for Shukla to hit
makes room, Bravo sees it, drags it back, gets it chest high, and Shukla misses
short of a length, outside off, and driven on the up through the covers
Ishant comes out to bat
Kolkata are falling apart now, end is nigh, Bravo bowls just back of a length, and Yashpal looks to go over extra cover, and edges faintly
strays down the pads, and flicked away
Bravo is the new bowler
another dot ball, again beats the outside edge, this one was a striaght delivery but Shukla played inside the line
short and straight, beats the bat by getting it to hold the line
straight, length, and defended with open face
Lokhi Shukla is the new man
Oh my Ghosh, he has flicked it straight to short midiwcket, Sachin Tendulkar. This is soft, really soft. Straight delivery, flicked in the air and an easy catch to Sachin
back of a length, outside off, and pushed wide of mid-off
Ganguly has flown it to the moon and back, makes room to hit it over cover, but this is a stright delivery, top-edges it way into the air, and Bravo takes an easy catch at cover
Nayar will continue
Over 16 • KKR 95/10
