3.5 Junaid Khan to Sehwag, OUT, cleans him up now! A length delivery on the middle stump and its swings in to Sehwag, who tries to push it to cover without covering the line of the ball, the ball drives through the gap and crashed into off and middle
V Sehwag b Junaid Khan 4 (20m 11b 1x4 0x6) SR: 36.36

4.4 Mohammad Irfan to Gambhir, OUT, middle stump now! He was bowling it outside off consistently and now he bowls it fuller on the middle stump, Gambhir comes forward to play a loose drive, but is late on the ball, it crashes into the middle stump. Excellent set-up by Irfan there. And just like that, India are two down
G Gambhir b Mohammad Irfan 8 (25m 17b 1x4 0x6) SR: 47.05
G Gambhir b Mohammad Irfan 8 (25m 17b 1x4 0x6) SR: 47.05
33.2 Mohammad Hafeez to Raina, OUT, bowled him! another one goes down. Raina tries to hoick this quicker delivery towards his favoured midwicket boundary, but the ball hurries on to him and knocks the leg stump back. Dhoni is disappointed with that shot as it was only the second Powerplay delivery. Pakistan make a breakthrough after 23 overs.
SK Raina b Mohammad Hafeez 43 (116m 88b 2x4 0x6) SR: 48.86
SK Raina b Mohammad Hafeez 43 (116m 88b 2x4 0x6) SR: 48.86
48.3 Mohammad Irfan to Dhoni, SIX, length ball on off, Dhoni makes room and lofts it over cover for his third six to bring up a magnificent hundred in testing conditions.
0.1 Kumar to Mohammad Hafeez, OUT, bowls him first ball! He starts just like he did in Bangalore. It is a big inswinger from outside the off stump and Hafeez thought he was just letting a harmless delivery go, but this one came in and took the off stump out. The stumps take another battering and an excellent start for Bhuneshwar in ODI cricket
Mohammad Hafeez b Kumar 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Mohammad Hafeez b Kumar 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

48.1 Dinda to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, short and outside off, and Shoaib Malik opens up his stance and plays a cross-court winner down to the cow-corner. Game. Set. Match to Pakistan
