that was easy.... tossed up slowly on middle and leg, Munaf goes for his favourite slog but doesn't get the distance. Patel takes it easily at deep square-leg. Raina, for reasons known only to him, hugs the umpire! And Munaf enjoys a laugh after his 'cameo' of 11

Full commentary
So there we have it - India Red will meet India Blue in the final tomorrow.
India Green surrendered meekly for the second day in a row and one would hope tomorrow's final isn't as one-sided. Blue's victory was built around solid contributions but their batsmen, though none went on to score a century. The match was decided once Parthiv and Rohit Sharma fell in quick succession. Ramesh Powar and Amit Mishra tied the batsmen down and prevented them from settling into partnerships.
Do join us tomorrow for the final. Praveen Kumar and Sehwag, who've been picked for the Indian one-day squad, will approach the game with renewed confidence. Till then, it's goodbye!
