- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 he has struck off his third ball! Big one this! It was angled in from round the wicket and it just straightens a touch, enough to beat the batsman's defensive poke, then hits the offstump 6/15.4 he plays a premeditated sweep to a delivery that is pitched short in length around leg stump! The batsman misses as he was nowhere near the pitch of the ball, gets hit around the knee roll of his front pad.. The umpire reckons that would have flicked the leg stump 28/215.3 caught at long off! And as so often happens when Badri tries to play a lofted shot, it goes straight into the hands of the fielder 103/3Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL164/3 (20 Overs, RR: 8.2)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Michael Hussey, 2.3 ov), 2-28 (Wriddhiman Saha, 5.4 ov), 3-103 (S Badrinath, 15.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 suicide! Why would you do that! The batsman defends a short of length delivery to the off side and starts moving down the pitch.. He is a bit too late to realise that he has moved too far down and that Raina was haring in.. Raina picks it up in one motion and hits the stumps direct.. Uthappa was well short.. 29/32.5 this time he has nicked it! It's a replay of the previous delivery, Finch tries to push at it without moving his feet, the ball just moved a touch away, catches the outside edge and Dhoni says thank you 26/12.6 that was a good shout! It was a length delivery that came in to the batsman, Suman prods his front foot out and plays outside the line, the ball hits the pad first, then the pad, but Taufel is right to raise his finger.. That was thudding in to the off and middle stump 26/24.5 Smith is going to tell Yuvraj now that he should have taken that couple! He tries to slash at a length delivery outside off, no feet movement.. nothing.. just a slash.. And he gets a faint tickle to Dhoni 43/414.2 quicker delivery that was short too, he could have whacked it anywhere, but he gets a toe end to it and the ball lobs up gently for Jajeja to gobble that up.. Is that the end of the match? 92/77.3 oh no! This is unlucky! it was was fuller delivery on off and middle, the batsman drives it beautifully back down the ground, but the ball hits the stumps at the other end.. Unfortunately for Wright, the ball flicked Morkel's boot along the way 54/59.1 another run out! What are they doing! It was a flatter delivery on off, the batsman gets an inside edge to the leg side, but the fielders appeal for lbw. Smith runs halfway down and Nayar responds to the call belatedly, but he was just too late.. Simple chance at non-striker's end 61/618.4 it's a short rising delivery, the batsman makes room and tries to go over extra cover, but he ends up pushing it up rather than forward.. Easy catch for Raina at cover 118/819.3 that's too good for the No 10! It was a slower ball, the batsman realises it too late, ends up playing a check drive, and ends up spooning it to Raina at cover 124/9Extras6 (lb 1, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL127/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.35)Fall of wickets: 1-26 (Aaron Finch, 2.5 ov), 2-26 (Tirumalasetti Suman, 2.6 ov), 3-29 (Robin Uthappa, 3.2 ov), 4-43 (Yuvraj Singh, 4.5 ov), 5-54 (Luke Wright, 7.3 ov), 6-61 (Abhishek Nayar, 9.1 ov), 7-92 (Steven Smith, 14.2 ov), 8-118 (Kane Richardson, 18.4 ov), 9-124 (Rahul Sharma, 19.3 ov)
