- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.1 another one at deep midwicket, Pandya again! What are Super Kings upto today! Smith, after playing a strange innings, goes for the slog sweep and times it well. But this one is hit straight to the man at the boundary, who is standing right at the edge, takes an overhead chance easily 65/34.5 he has picked the lone man at deep midwicket! It was only marginally short and McCullum probably thought he could clear the ropes, but he doesn't get the timing. Pandya walks in a few paces and takes an easy catch. A sigh of relief for Harbhajan 44/18.4 he has picked out Pandya! Raina came down the pitch, this time going squarer towards his favourite cow corner area, but he didn't get the distance. Pandya had to sprint to his right to get under it, he takes it easily, then keeps running all the way. 64/215.2 superb leaping catch by Simmons at short fine leg! Faf had moved across and he was always looking to flick it over the fielder, but doesn't get the timing. It lobs at slow pace, but Simmons still has to time his jump well. He falls backwards after taking the catch 104/419.6 the innings ends with a run-out as Dhoni can't put a bat on this length ball, he takes off for a bye, but Parthiv hits the stumps to end Pawan Hans' innings 158/5Extras6 (w 6)TOTAL158/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.9)Fall of wickets: 1-44 (Brendon McCullum, 4.5 ov), 2-64 (Suresh Raina, 8.4 ov), 3-65 (Dwayne Smith, 9.1 ov), 4-104 (Faf du Plessis, 15.2 ov), 5-158 (Pawan Negi, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.4 make it two in the over! Now Simmons goes for a slog sweep by moving slightly inside the line, but he doesn't get the distance. This one is easily swallowed at deep midwicket by Smith. This is the wobble the home team were after 85/210.1 Faf has been taking some tremendous catches and he has another. This is a superbly-judged at the edge of the boundary at wide long-on. It was a flighted delivery, Parthiv got a lot of bat on it and made good connection in his slog sweep. But Faf gobbled it up. 84/117.1 Raina won't make the mistake Faf made! Rohit is beaten by yet another slower delivery and yet again he manages to get height but not the distance. Raina settles under it at long on and takes it easily 125/411.6 looked to punch this through off but gets a thick outside edge, that one flew past Raina at slip. He might have got a hand to that, he actually did. The two take off for a single, but hello hello, Bravo fires in a throw and catches Pollard short at the striker's end. Initially there wasn't much interest, but the replays show he is well out. What a bonus! 86/3Extras2 (b 1, w 1)TOTAL159/4 (19.2 Overs, RR: 8.22)Fall of wickets: 1-84 (Parthiv Patel, 10.1 ov), 2-85 (Lendl Simmons, 10.4 ov), 3-86 (Kieron Pollard, 11.6 ov), 4-125 (Rohit Sharma, 17.1 ov)
