- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.6 caught at deep square leg! Parthiv was trying to play that flick over the boundary but mis-timed the pick-up shot, lofting it to Mithun Manhas who had to move in very little to take the catch 50/23.6 Robin Uthappa has demolished the stumps and Dhawan is well short! Parthiv dropped the ball close on the off side and the batsmen ran. A bizarre decision. The ball went straight towards Pandey, who sprinted in from cover and returned the ball accurately to the wicketkeeper. Dhawan didn't have a chance. 39/117.3 caught on the deep cover boundary! White came forward and tried to loft the ball over extra cover again. It was the quicker ball and he sliced it high to Thomas on the boundary. Crucial moment in the game. 158/411.1 bowled him! Sangakkara's middle stump has been uprooted. He charged the legspinner and swung across the line, he wasn't to the pitch of the ball and it went off the inside edge on to middle stump. Sharma gave Sangakkara quite a send off. A flying kiss of sorts, I think. 83/3Extras11 (b 4, lb 5, w 2)TOTAL177/4 (20 Overs, RR: 8.85)Fall of wickets: 1-39 (Shikhar Dhawan, 3.6 ov), 2-50 (Parthiv Patel, 5.6 ov), 3-83 (Kumar Sangakkara, 11.1 ov), 4-158 (Cameron White, 17.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.2 bowled him! The length was good and the ball skidded on to Pandey just outside off stump, he tried to steer to third man once again but bottom edged the ball on to his stumps 43/22.3 gone, just like that, he's pushed a length ball with the spin straight to short midwicket 15/19.5 caught at short cover! Super catch. Duminy's drop has cost Chargers hardly anything. Ganguly stepped out to a short and wide ball and swatted it hard, the ball travelled quickly at head height to Daniel Harris, who was well balanced as he caught it. Harris is on the field for White. 73/313.1 bowled him! Uthappa moved extremely wide outside the off stump to paddle a fullish ball past short fine leg. He paddled it alright, just on to leg stump. 88/413.6 Samuels has played an abysmal shot to get caught at cover. He simply cleared his front foot and swung hard, not sure where he wanted the ball to go. He ended up lobbing it to Sangakkara. Deccan firmly on top now. 91/516.5 that's probably the game! Smith got under a low full toss but couldn't loft it high and far enough. He hit it towards long-on, where Duminy moved forward and to his right and slid to take a low catch. The ball was dying on him 123/619.2 Thomas charges and then tries to cut, he gets beaten by the short ball once again. Thomas continues running but Manhas doesn't want to steal the bye. Parthiv scored a direct hit with his under-arm throw and Thomas is run out 152/7Extras9 (lb 3, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL159/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.95)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Jesse Ryder, 2.3 ov), 2-43 (Manish Pandey, 5.2 ov), 3-73 (Sourav Ganguly, 9.5 ov), 4-88 (Robin Uthappa, 13.1 ov), 5-91 (Marlon Samuels, 13.6 ov), 6-123 (Steven Smith, 16.5 ov), 7-152 (Alfonso Thomas, 19.2 ov)
