- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.6 what a catch! Against the run of play, Tyagi has pulled this one out of the hat. Mahela makes room to go over mid-off, the ball is not quite that full, and hence he doesn't get enough elevation. But it takes all of Tyagi's height, and a perfectly timed full-stretch jump for it to stick in the right hand 34/110.5 bowled him! Stays a touch low. Sanga is looking for the big sweep shot, and it's a straight delivery that squeezes under his swing and takes the off stump 90/211.6 Raina has got the big wicket! Yuvraj looks to sweep a full delivery, misses, the ball pitches middle and leg, turns away and gets him in the back leg 93/3Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL192/3 (20 Overs, RR: 9.6)Fall of wickets: 1-34 (Mahela Jayawardene, 2.6 ov), 2-90 (Kumar Sangakkara, 10.5 ov), 3-93 (Yuvraj Singh, 11.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4 more quality spin! Flight, dip, sucking him out of the crease to get close to the pitch of the ball, and then sharp turn down the leg side, and a sharp stumping. Powar is animated, and he has bowled beautifully. Sanga in place of Bisla has been a big improvement when it comes to keeping 27/22.5 Air Time! Lovely spin bowling. Generously tossed up, Hayden sets himself up to launch this one, but it bounces slightly shorter than he expects and then turns just enough to take the outside edge. Good catch too by Sanga 13/19.4 good timing hurts him! Makes room, goes inside-out to a length ball, sweetly timed and flat, and it carries straight down sweeper-cover's throat. Six feet either side and this might have been a six 89/316.4 misses a slog sweep, slides out on the sweep, Sanga whips the bails off, and Bowden doesn't even need third umpire for it 148/4Extras10 (lb 5, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL195/4 (19.4 Overs, RR: 9.91)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Matthew Hayden, 2.5 ov), 2-27 (Murali Vijay, 4 ov), 3-89 (Suresh Raina, 9.4 ov), 4-148 (S Badrinath, 16.4 ov)
