Presentation
Mike Hussey is the MoM. He says: It certainly was a lot slower than Bangalore. We had to make adjustments quickly. The fielding was outstanding. We had a just-below-par score, but they pulled it back for us. Every time we wanted to kick on, we lost a wicket, but that was the nature of the wicket. We just wanted to try and take it as deep as possible. I thought it was a good score, but probably just below par."
MS Dhoni Very important to win. Can't afford to lose games in a row. Hopefully we can continue the way we are. I don't do too much of planning, I don't attend bowlers' meetings. Every wicket is different, every situation is different. I always go without any pre-planned ideas in the mind. It helps me. Doesn't restrict me. We didn't have too many runs, you have the feeling if they got off to a good start, it would have been difficult. We started well, our fielding added to it, it is something we want to keep doing."
Yuvraj Singh "No regrets. We bowled really well. Jerome, Alfonso and Rahul bowled really well, along with Kartik. If you are four down inside the six overs, it is difficult to come back. A lot of blame goes to me too, I should have finished the game. Third time this has happened against Chennai that I have started well and lost my way later."
Chennai back to winning ways. Well done. It would be tempting to say Chennai enjoyed a lot of luck when they were batting, but they made the most out of it. Yuvraj too survived a plumb LBW. Chennai accepted their gifts. And they were smashing in the field, while Pune missed many run-outs and half-chances for catches. A well-deserved win for Chennai. Stay with us for the presentation

Bollinger to McCullum, OUT
Exclamation mark from an Aussie on Anzac Day. Dismissing a Kiwi. Quick, sharp bouncer, aimed at his jaw. McCullum hooks, gets a top edge that goes nowhere. Gone

Morkel to Taylor, 2 runs
Nearly another blinder! Taylor mis-hits this one, and Abhinav Mukund runs backwards from extra cover, and while doing so nearly pulls off a stunner overhead. But as he comes down, the impact and the jerk throw the ball out of his grip

Morkel to Taylor, 1 wide
sharp bouncer - giving some of his own medicine back to Taylor, but it is called a wide for height
Out comes Jerome Taylor

Morkel to McCullum, OUT
slower bouncer, too good for McCullum, and Dhoni underarms this as they try to steal the bye. And Sharma is short of the crease

18.3
W
Morkel to Yuvraj, OUT
Jakati flies across at extra cover! Length ball outside off, on his day Yuvraj would have hit this for a six blindfolded. This hasn't been his day, though, and he has struggled for timing bar two beautiful straight drives. And this one hits the toe end, and is going towards straightish extra cover when Jakati comes flying across and intercepts it beautifully
