- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.6 Rahul Sharma has been the man for Pune all through this tournament. he delivers again. Gilchrist went for the slog sweep but perhaps it was too full and he couldn't get much power or elevation on that. He picks out the deep midwicket fielder 25/17.4 Rahul bhai has done it again! It skids from short of length outside off. Paul was tempted by the length and went for the cut. But the ball skid on him quickly and he could only slice it to backward point. 50/212.4 Inside edge! Marsh tries to break free but was done in by the slower one. He fetched it from outside off and tried to drag it to the on side but was beaten by the lack of pace. 80/315.4 Full pitched delivery and DK picks out long-on. He trudges off back to the hut. Punjab meander along to nowhere 100/514.3 the man who bowled SRT for a duck in domestic cricket, his very first duck too, gets David. It's a short of length delivery straightening outside off and David Hussey gets an edge on the attempted cut 94/417.6 Yuvraj almost drops it! Ugly shot! Mandeep tries a slog and the ball lobs to covers. The ball pops out of Yuvraj's palms but he takes it on the rebound 110/619.1 Chitnis swings this slower one to long-on where Abhishek pouches it. The camera pans to Priety Zinta who anxiously follows the trajectory of that ball and winces at the result. Cho chad. 116/818.4 Around waist-high full toss and another one goes down very tamely. Ryan can't get any power behind this shot and Yuvraj takes a dolly at covers. The umpires have some doubt about the height of that full toss. Whether it was above waist? The replays show that it was just below or around the waist high. Out is the correct verdict. Ryan shakes his head and goes away. 114/7Extras4 (b 1, lb 3)TOTAL119/8 (20 Overs, RR: 5.95)Did not bat: BA BhattFall of wickets: 1-25 (Adam Gilchrist, 3.6 ov), 2-50 (Paul Valthaty, 7.4 ov), 3-80 (Shaun Marsh, 12.4 ov), 4-94 (David Hussey, 14.3 ov), 5-100 (Dinesh Karthik, 15.4 ov), 6-110 (Mandeep Singh, 17.6 ov), 7-114 (Ryan Harris, 18.4 ov), 8-116 (Siddharth Chitnis, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.4 skips down the track for the lofted hit but finds David Hussey at long-on. Ryder was mistiming several of his shots and this one too is no different. 32/112.1 Clatter! It lands back of length around off and skids towards the off stump. manish goes for the pull but fails to connect. 84/39.5 Ryan wins his contest with Robin. It was the bouncer just outside off and Robin topedged his pull shot. The ball landed in the hands of Shalabh who runs in from deep backward square-leg 69/215.3 moves outside leg, Shalabh goes for another bouncer and Yuvraj gets a soft top edge and the bowler moves forward to take a dolly 116/415.5 length delivery from round the stumps, Abhishek has a lame poke at it - he was trying to steer it to third man - and gets a thick edge to Gilly., 117/5Extras12 (b 4, lb 1, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL120/5 (17.1 Overs, RR: 6.99)Fall of wickets: 1-32 (Jesse Ryder, 4.4 ov), 2-69 (Robin Uthappa, 9.5 ov), 3-84 (Manish Pandey, 12.1 ov), 4-116 (Yuvraj Singh, 15.3 ov), 5-117 (Abhishek Jhunjhunwala, 15.5 ov)
