- BATSMENRB4s6sSR14.3 A pumped-up Irfan hops in joy. The off stump has gone for a night-out. It was the full delivery but Paul was so frozen on the back foot. He was perhaps again expecting a short ball. The ball curved in the air, landed full around off and darted back in. Paul was in panic mode by now; he crouched and tried to stab it. No luck. The ball curved in, went through the bat and pad gap and took out the off stump 123/33.3 The slog is over. Gilly falls. He never looked in. He moved outside leg and charged down the track. Brave move. No luck though. He went for the slog to the leg side but didn't connect properly and ended up lobbing the ball to mid-on 21/114.2 Irfan takes out Shaun. It landed back of length and moved away from the off stump. Marsh went for a big flat-batted heave across the line and top edged it. Morne ran in from third man to collect it. 123/219.4 the slower one outside off, a length delivery, DK slices it straight to backward point 168/616.4 David hasn't done much with the bat this ipl and here is another failure for him. He cleared the front foot and went for the pull but found the midwicket fielder 138/418.4 Clatter! Irfan pings the leg stump. Mandeep cleared his front foot and went for a big slog to the leg but missed the full delivery. 156/5Extras9 (lb 2, w 7)TOTAL170/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.5)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Adam Gilchrist, 3.3 ov), 2-123 (Shaun Marsh, 14.2 ov), 3-123 (Paul Valthaty, 14.3 ov), 4-138 (David Hussey, 16.4 ov), 5-156 (Mandeep Singh, 18.4 ov), 6-168 (Dinesh Karthik, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.6 Shalabh has his revenge and doesn't realise he has got it! He gets this length delivery to slant across Naman who tries to run it down to third man and gets the outside edge. Srivastava didn't see the edge and turned back when he saw the umpire's verdict. He swung back in great delight. 52/19.5 Shalabh Srivastava hugs Adam. Priety Zinta does her hop-skip-and-jump routine. Warner walked down the track and went for a big swing to the on side. The ball just about straightened on that leg and middle line and that meant Warner got a leading edge. The ball swirled really high in the air and Gilly called for the catch and ran past Warner to take it. 67/213.5 Delhi are going down. Punjab stay alive in the competition. It was a tossed-up delivery outside off and Venu lofted it to long-off 90/411.2 done in by the googly. Delhi are wobbling away like drunk men. Sriram top-edged the sweep and DK moved from first slip towards leg gully,and avoided a collision with the square-leg fielder, to take the catch. 72/314.2 More joy for the Punjab camp. Irfan drags this short ball towards deep square-leg where Mandeep sinks on his knees and lunges forward to take it. 92/515.1 Delhi are now hope less. James goes for a sweep but top-edges the leg break and Gilly settles under it 97/617.4 Wow! What an effort from Ryan Harris. Travis pulled the short ball and I was sure it had sailed over deep midwicket boundary. Ryan leaps near the ropes, arches back while in the air, plucks the ball with one hand and manages to land back inside the playing arena. Phew. Gem. 116/718.3 walks right across the stumps and tries to swing to the on side. He misses and the ball nails him on the off stump line.
