- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.5 and now he's gone, finally an lbw given! it was shorter in length and he wanted to sweep it away, the ball never came on and he missed, hits him plumb in front and this time, there's no two ways about it for the umpire, out is the call and a very correct one 71/33.1 and gone now, Rahane has been dismissed, stumped off a very slower ball from the spinner! he really slowed that up and Rahane was looking to hit it over the top, he misses and Bisla whips off the bails 20/14.3 gone, soft dismissal, caught at short point! I think I am going to say this a lot today, it's a soft dismissal, he was looking to play forward but gets an outside edge and it's gone straight to the fielder close in, two down 27/217.4 shot but caught! it was shorter in length and he looks to go down the track, hits it hard enough but straight to the long-on fielder, caught! 117/512.2 bowled him, that's gone! it was a length ball outside the off stump and he goes back to cut it, inside edge and it hits the stumps. 83/419.3 leg stump lies flat on the ground as he's bowled trying to paddle it away, was a length ball and the shot was one alright, just missed it! 126/6Extras7 (lb 1, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL132/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.6)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Ajinkya Rahane, 3.1 ov), 2-27 (James Faulkner, 4.3 ov), 3-71 (Shane Watson, 10.5 ov), 4-83 (Dishant Yagnik, 12.2 ov), 5-117 (Sanju Samson, 17.4 ov), 6-126 (Owais Shah, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.3 appeal for a stumping against Gambhir! it was on a length and he was looking to play it inside out, he missed and the keeper collects and whips them off almost at the same time, it was the quickest pieces of works I have seen in a long time against a quickish bowler like Watson, Gambhir had his foot out and the third ump gives it out! 41/17.1 and he's gone now, Chavan's taken a good one at short cover! it was flighted up to the bat and he was looking to work it down to the leg side, gets a leading edge and it flies to the off side where Rahane takes a good catch going forward 55/2Extras10 (lb 5, w 5)TOTAL133/2 (17.2 Overs, RR: 7.67)Fall of wickets: 1-41 (Gautam Gambhir, 5.3 ov), 2-55 (Manvinder Bisla, 7.1 ov)
