2.5 Ojha to Jacobs, SIX, he had decided this one had to disappear, came charging out, was not that close to the pitch of the ball, but gave it a huge swing, and dispatched the ball over the straight boundary

8.2 Mishra to Tendulkar, OUT, Sachin has holed out to Steyn at long on, or has he? lovely bowling from Mishra, drew Sachin out with a flighted delivery that he bowled with a wrist more cocked that usual, even as Sachin came out it dipped on him, and he was not close to the pitch as he swung hard, the ball climbed miles but settled in to Steyn;s hands at long on, they check for the no-ball but Sachin has to walk back in the end

13.2 Christian to Symonds, FOUR, swat! Symonds brings out the tennis forehand, comes down the track, takes on a short one and forehands it with lots of brute power way over mid off

19.1 Christian to Sharma, SIX, Mumbai showing their class, Rohit gets a low full toss outside off, he is more conventional than Symonds, stands still and hammers it over long off with a huge swing

5.4 Malinga to Dhawan, OUT, and Malinga does the inevitable, took him four balls this time, fires in the yorker, Shikhar was making room outside leg, and ended up losing his leg stump as bat came down too late, now then, how many times have we seen that?

13.3 Malinga to Sangakkara, OUT, Malinga goes through his former captain, Sanga backs away again a long way outside leg stump, looking to squeeze it away on the off side, Malinga lets the slinging delivery rip, it ends up as a very low full toss that crashes in to middle stump, close to the base, Malinga just puts his finger up in muted celebration
