- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.1 gone, caught at mid-wicket! that's from round the stumps and was a length ball alright, he goes back and tries to flick it away, gets it off the middle of the bat too but unfortunately for the batsman, it's been hit straight to the fielder, was falling short of him though and does well to fall forward to gobble up the catch, a shout of "Come on!" follows! 87/46.3 bowled him, Harbhajan has a wicket in his first over! it was full on the leg-stump and he wants to sweep it away, misses it and rattles the stumps 44/18.4 and now he's gone, Watto has played a rather clumsy sweep there and top-edged to square-leg! It was a lot fuller than what the batsman expected probably and he was looking to flick it, gets the top edge of the bat and it pops up easily for the fielder to run back to the circle to pouch it 60/29.4 and hit up and it's caught! Not the best of strokes to play there, was another slower one and he went through with the shot, was looking to hit it over the mid-wicket region but that lack of pace beats him, it lobs high and Harbhajan is at it again, takes a good catch! 64/315.1 and now he's gone, first ball after the Time-out! caught by Harbhajan too! was a length ball and slower too, he was looking to go down the track but the slowness of the pace beats him, he taps it away and lobs it straight to extra-cover, half the side's gone! 104/515.3 gone miles up in the air but not long enough! gone, caught at backward square-leg! he was looking to slog it away this time, he gets it higher on the bat which does not get him the distance he needs, goes high up and Smith's positioned just for that! 108/6Extras14 (lb 4, nb 2, w 8)TOTAL165/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.25)Fall of wickets: 1-44 (Ajinkya Rahane, 6.3 ov), 2-60 (Shane Watson, 8.4 ov), 3-64 (Sanju Samson, 9.4 ov), 4-87 (Rahul Dravid, 12.1 ov), 5-104 (Stuart Binny, 15.1 ov), 6-108 (Kevon Cooper, 15.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR16.3 and taken now, that's number four! was a slower one on his pads, was looking to punch it over the leg side but the slowness of the delivery seems to have defeated the stroke, spoons it to the fielder who takes it calmly 132/49.1 fuller and chipped straight to long-on, caught! that was hit off the middle of the bat, it was a slower one and that gets it to scoop up to the fielder who looked like he wasn't quite at the edge of the fence, one down now 70/114.1 gone this time, short of length and he's cut it straight to the point fielder! this wasn't the best of deliveries, looked innocuous enough to go for the cut, and he does that, probably there wasn't as much room as DK would have liked and slapped straight to the fielder 125/215.5 bowled him, the stumps are on the ground! it was short of length and Rohit goes for a slog across the line, misses and it crashes into the stumps, three down and a bit of a lifeline for the Royals 128/317.3 gone, Pollard's chipped it straight to the fielder! on his pads yet again and he was looking for his short arm jab with the flick, comes off the middle of the bat and it's been straight to the fielder 141/519.2 bowled him, wicket! he was looking to work it through the third-man there, but the ball was a lot quicker, was a leg-cutter and moves away from the bat, beats it and the stumps are rattled! 160/6Extras10 (lb 6, w 4)TOTAL169/6 (19.5 Overs, RR: 8.52)Fall of wickets: 1-70 (Aditya Tare, 9.1 ov), 2-125 (Dinesh Karthik, 14.1 ov), 3-128 (Rohit Sharma, 15.5 ov), 4-132 (Dwayne Smith, 16.3 ov), 5-141 (Kieron Pollard, 17.3 ov), 6-160 (Ambati Rayudu, 19.2 ov)
