- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.1 another run out! Is the heat getting to Delhi? Warner cuts the ball to cover point and sets off for a single, this time he is sent back, by Collingwood. Warner turns around, sprints back and throws himself full length in an attempt to make his ground. the throw to Sanga is good this time and Warner is a foot or two short 41/31.1 Sehwag's gone! A first-baller! Length delivery and it keeps a touch low too, Sehwag aims for the midwicket boundary but doesn't hit it well enough to clear the infield, Sodhi didn't have to move at midwicket 4/13.5 Gambhir's run out again! That's his fifth of the season I think. He cuts the ball to short third man, Warner calls him for a single, Gambhir responds and then Warner sends him back. Gambhir has no chance, Juan Theron throws the ball to Sangakkara, it isn't a very good one and Sangakkara collects towards his right and flicks the ball backhanded blindly on to the stumps, Gambhir's several yards short and he is fuming, absolutely fuming 39/27.3 that is plumb, stone dead! Collingwood went back into his crease to read the ball off the pitch, it was the topspinner and not a legbreak, the ball skidded through and hit the back pad before Collingwood could bring his bat down, the impact was low, don't get easier lbws than that 55/413.2 attempted big hit and Jayawardene's on the boundary to dash several thousand hopes at the Kotla. Karthik went on the back foot, waited for the length ball and heaved it towards long-on, the trajectory was flat and Jayawardene judged it well on the rope 76/69.6 bowled him!! Chawla pitches the ball around middle stump, Vettori goes back, expecting the ball to turn into his pads and prepares to play across the line, but it's the googly and it moves across him, beating the bat and clipping the top of off stump 63/518.3 the ball's raced away to the fine leg boundary, but off the stump, not the bat! Manhas moved a long way across his stumps and tried to play the leg glance, Theron kept it full and straight and clipped leg stump 105/914.6 caught! Bhatia leans forward and closes the face, trying to play the ball from outside off to the leg side. It spins across him and lobs up off the leading edge for Sodhi to take the catch at point 81/715.1 well what ever Sanga said seems to have worked! Ablish bowled the offcutter on off and middle, Maharoof was caught on the crease and beaten by the slightly low bounce. The ball crashed into middle stump 82/819.4 is that a six? Nope, Chawla's on the boundary to catch Nehra's cross-bat heave off the back foot, and that is that. 111/10Extras18 (lb 2, w 16)TOTAL111 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 5.64)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Virender Sehwag, 1.1 ov), 2-39 (Gautam Gambhir, 3.5 ov), 3-41 (David Warner, 4.1 ov), 4-55 (Paul Collingwood, 7.3 ov), 5-63 (Daniel Vettori, 9.6 ov), 6-76 (Dinesh Karthik, 13.2 ov), 7-81 (Rajat Bhatia, 14.6 ov), 8-82 (Farveez Maharoof, 15.1 ov), 9-105 (Mithun Manhas, 18.3 ov), 10-111 (Ashish Nehra, 19.4 ov)
