- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.6 Powar strikes! Gambhir plays for the break, but this one goes straight and cleans Gambhir up. Clever bowling from Powar. 75/18.6 cuts back on the pace and lands it on a good length, Dhawan gives him the charge, fails to get to the pitch of the ball and as a result he mishits it to Chawla at extra cover who takes the skier 104/210.2 bangs this one short and follows Sehwag as he makes room to pull, he connects well but doesn't get the elevation as Pomersbach juggles at deep midwicket before taking the catch 115/310.4 this is turning out to be an excellent over so far! He bowls the slower ball, Maharoof makes room but he mistimes the loft and Powar runs backwards and takes an excellent catch at midwicket 116/4Extras10 (lb 2, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL118/4 (11 Overs, RR: 10.72)Fall of wickets: 1-75 (Gautam Gambhir, 6.6 ov), 2-104 (Shikhar Dhawan, 8.6 ov), 3-115 (Tillakaratne Dilshan, 10.2 ov), 4-116 (Farveez Maharoof, 10.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.1 what a catch, that too on the collision! Marsh gets a good length delivery swinging away from him and he mistimes the loft and gets a thick leading edge towards deep cover, Malik and Dhawan converge, they collide and Dhawan keeps a cool head and catches it 3/13.3 and another one goes! Mishra bowls that on a good length outside off, Hopes makes room to flat-bat it over the bowler's head, he nearly succeeds in clearing the rope but the elevation isn't enough as Malik runs across from long-on to take the catch 31/32.6 superb catch! McGrath bowls another slower ball, lands it fractionally short outside leg and Yuvraj mistimes the flat-batted pull, the top edge carries towards the boundary but Maharoof runs backwards to his right and just hangs onto it as he falls backwards 30/2Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL94/3 (8 Overs, RR: 11.75)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Shaun Marsh, 1.1 ov), 2-30 (Yuvraj Singh, 2.6 ov), 3-31 (James Hopes, 3.3 ov)
