- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.4 Early into the pull, and he has played on. Typical slow-wicket dismissal. Short, just outside off, Gambhir backs away to pull it, the ball doesn't quite come on, and the bottom edge canons into the stumps 41/15.2 and Sehwag is gone. Looks to cut a flat delivery from in front of the stumps, fails to keep it down, and Afridi takes a sharp catch to his right 45/218.1 Sharma misses, but not before he has caused significant damage to Pakistan. Down the track looking to go over midwicket, Ajmal shortens the length, and Sharma is early into the shot, and is bowled 172/3Extras14 (lb 3, nb 6, w 5)TOTAL185/3 (20 Overs, RR: 9.25)Fall of wickets: 1-41 (Gautam Gambhir, 4.4 ov), 2-45 (Virender Sehwag, 5.2 ov), 3-172 (Rohit Sharma, 18.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.3 Ashwin strikes again. Hafeez comes down to the quicker delivery, gets too close to the ball, and manages to hit it only as far as Rohit Sharma at long-on 84/33.3 Nazir can't wait long enough for going for the big hit, but doesn't get enough on this, skying it towards wide long-on. Raina runs from deep mid midwicket and makes the catch. Good effort from Raina 30/13.5 slower through the air, Hafeez has to wait for it before he can cut it. Gambhir gives chase from inside the circle, slides and fields. The throw is not a flat rocket but is accurate. Hafeez wants the second, but then sends Jamshed back, who is not left with enough time to get back. Out without facing a ball 33/29.5 Afridi is back in a flash. Down the track, gets close to the pitch of the ball, hits a flat aerial shot towards long-off, but can't clear Zaheer Khan 84/411.3 Ashwin. Slow legs. What slow legs? U Akmal shapes up for the sweep, changes his mind, and somehow checks his drive too, lobbing it well to the right of Ashwin, who dives full length to take the catch. One short of a five-for now 91/5Extras4 (w 4)TOTAL186/5 (19.1 Overs, RR: 9.7)Fall of wickets: 1-30 (Imran Nazir, 3.3 ov), 2-33 (Nasir Jamshed, 3.5 ov), 3-84 (Mohammad Hafeez, 9.3 ov), 4-84 (Shahid Afridi, 9.5 ov), 5-91 (Umar Akmal, 11.3 ov)
