full outside off, crakced hard to deep cover for a single, Mumbai have finished with 176
MI vs Cape Cobras, Group A at Bengaluru, Sep 30 2011 - Ball by Ball Commentary
We may have a delay for the start of the second innings. The rain might just juice the track up a little and the Mumbai Indians seamers won't mind that at all. They have a good score to defend. Kolkata chased down 169 with no hassles yesterday, but let's see how this pans out. Excellent knock by Pollard and a very good start for Kanwar in his opening game for this team. Join us in a bit. We'll keep you updated about the weather. The covers are on for now, and I saw a couple of umbrellas out in the Mumbai dug out. Siddarth Ravindran's bulletin will be updated in a short while.
The rain has picked up
nicely done, slower one bowled full outside off and Harbhajan doesn't connect again, another dot ball, Harbhajan wants the bye, is sent back and just made it back, appeal for a run-out but he's just in
A steady drizzle at the Chinnaswamy
better this time, fullish outside off and Harbhajan can't do much with it
Gibbs, did he drop it? Was a little slow to react, sliced it did Symonds and it landed just in front of Gibbs at third man but he took time to go after that one
that's well struck, pitched up outside off, he made room anc creamed that over extra cover
another wide, too many of them today, Symonds reached for it but couldn't connect
this time it's a wide, was looking to repeat the previous one
well bowled, almost in the blockhole but outside off, Symonds couldn't do much with that
Langeveldt to finish off
slower one, that was a legcutter, Harbhajan had made room and that cut away from him, a dot ball
there was a midwicket in place on the circle and Duminy took some pace off that, was well struck by Harbhajan, just two in the end
full outside off, makes room and slices that wide of third man for a single
short outside off, Symonds looks to slash that but ends up getting an under edge to the keeper
Harbhajan walks in
holes out, Owais Shah takes his fourth catch, the easiest of the four this, lands on a length on the off and Pollard struck that through the line, again, like Franklin, he sliced it and found Owais in the deep at long-off
fortunate is Pollard, short outside off and Pollard was aiming at sending that over deep midwicket, got a thick edge that beat third man
Steyn returns
short fine leg is in place and Symonds, going for a pull, gets a top edge on that one, it clears short fine and lands just in front of the ropes, Mumbai are heading towards an imposing score here
they've bowled quite a few wides today, that's another one
dropped it short outside off, picked hte slower one, made room and swatted it back down the pitch to beat long-on to the boundary
ooh, just falls short of long-off, low full toss and Pollard just chips it towards Levi in the deep, falls just in front of him
beautifully played, raises his half-century, bowled it full outside off, third man is up and he steered it between that fielder and point, smartly done
slowed it up, dropped it short, Pollard went for the pull past square leg but played it too early
