- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.1 but he's gone this time. Use of the feet ruins him and for one last time in the match. Useful innings ends. Ashwin saw him coming and darted this one wide outside the off stump. Davids misses and Dhoni does the needful 122/26.6 gone! Rudolph wanted the second, but Davids was not looking to chance Bravo's arm from deep point. This one full and driven through the covers Bravo, from deep point, cuts the angle, and gets the ball in to the keeper who does the rest 46/118.6 miscued and its caught at long-off. This may have been held back just a little bit, and AB, in the mood he was in, hits it straight over the top, but he gets more height than distance this time 179/517.1 and he holes out. He makes a little room and slaps this full length ball on middle straight to mid-off. End of an enterprising innings. Behardien is highly disappointed 154/317.3 and the short ball does him in. He did not look comfortable playing the last one and this time he looks even worse as he plays the hook far too late and the ball goes straight up in the air. Ashwin, from mid-on, comes around and takes a simple catch 154/4Extras9 (b 1, lb 5, w 3)TOTAL185/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.25)Fall of wickets: 1-46 (Jacques Rudolph, 6.6 ov), 2-122 (Henry Davids, 13.1 ov), 3-154 (Farhaan Behardien, 17.1 ov), 4-154 (David Wiese, 17.3 ov), 5-179 (AB de Villiers, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.6 but he throws it away. He's out for the very same score as Raina and in the very same area as well - mid-off. Fullish ball, just outside off prompts him to hit on the up and over the top, but he miscues this badly as it goes straight up and AB de Villers is not going to miss that 114/30.3 and Vijay is gone for a first-ball duck! Beaten by the arm ball. It was targeted at middle, maybe a little shorter, but it skidded off the pitch way too quick for Vijay who was only half way into the cut shot and looked back to see his stumps knocked back. And Van der Merwe is over the moon as he gestures to the dressing room 6/17.5 oh, but he's gone now. What a soft dismissal. Slower ball, he's tempted into the drive as he chips down the track, and is way too early on it. The ball takes a leading edge and goes straight to mid-off 95/216.2 oh, the slower ball does the trick. Its short as well and Bravo swivels around on his back foot, looking to hook it. But Richards manages to get it up at a nice throat height and Bravo nicks off to the keeper 172/418.1 Anti-climax! he's holed out. Richards bowled it full and Dhoni was walking into the shot and drives it on the up, but he doesnt get enough elevation as he splices the drive and the man at cover leaps into the air and holds onto a sharp catch 181/518.3 slower ball from Richards and Jadeja goes for a two-ball duck. What a forgettable day for him. It was nothing too dangerous, just a straight ball and Jadeja went for an across the line slog, missed it and looked around to see his stumps rearranged 183/6Extras24 (w 24)TOTAL187/6 (18.5 Overs, RR: 9.92)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Murali Vijay, 0.3 ov), 2-95 (Suresh Raina, 7.5 ov), 3-114 (Michael Hussey, 9.6 ov), 4-172 (Dwayne Bravo, 16.2 ov), 5-181 (MS Dhoni, 18.1 ov), 6-183 (Ravindra Jadeja, 18.3 ov)
