Lee sends down an ice cool yorker! The broadcasters lost their cool. Auckland lost their cool. But Lee didn't. Full and straight, angling in on leg stump. Mills tries to get something, anything, under it, but can only get an inside edge through square leg for one. What heartbreak for Auckland! KKR stay alive, we could have 4 IPL teams in this tournament.

That then brings us to the end of Day one of the CLT20. One close game, and one not so close. Do join us for more fun tomorrow. In the meantime, the Aus v SL Test heads for a riveting finish and we'll be back for that in the morning. This is Nitin Sundar signing off with cheers and goodnight!
Presentations time.
Bisla is the MoM: "Both teams were 20 runs or so short, I am pleased we finished on top. The plan was for me to attack and Kallis to bat through. Binga and everyone else bowled really well to pull it back."
Kallis: "We knew the wicket was tough, so we tried and restricted them. In the IPL we lost one or two tight ones, so it is good to get a winning start here. Auckland fielded very well.. We tried too hard, and got into trouble. So there were some lessons to take there - it is good to make some mistakes and still win."
Hopkins: "We thought the new ball was crucial to score against. Funny game in a sense, since both games played the waiting game in the middle. We have a very experienced bowling attack and hope to bounce back tomorrow."
Ashootosh: "I switched to Cricinfo, thinking that you guys are not updating from TV" We are very good, but we aren't Superman you know!
"Wow you write commentary off a TV broadcast!! Pathetic!" Err.. Ejvyas - you are actually reading the pathetic commentary, you know ...
Sriram: "Is Colin Munro anyway related to Burt Munro, the legendary racer from New Zealand?" Considering the way Colin got stuck today, I doubt he has any racing genes in him. That said, he came in with a six-hitting reputation.

swing and a miss! Kallis' yorkers went for runs but the length balls escape, as Mills pulls across the line and misses.

Kallis to Mills, 2 runs
almost the perfect yorker, but he can't stop them from getting two more. Mills digs it out, again off the inner half and it bounces away square. Bhatia in the deep takes for ever to release the throw and Mills manages to dive in for the second. He seems to have jarred his shoulder in the process, but he's ready now.

Lee to Mills, no run
the telecast resumes for the last ball, from the camera that's behind the keeper. Lee sends down a yorker that angles in towards the leg stump and the right-hand batsman misses. The stumps are close to coming in the way too.
