- BATSMENRB4s6sSR11.5 What a loverly delivery! Slow. Really slow. It was looped across. Ganguly had to wait and wait on the front foot and tried to adjust by attempting a slog sweep .. but he had completed the shot far too early. The ball gently eased towards the middle stump. 104/210.2 Done in by the slower one! Rajat keeps faith on his slower ones and slips in one full and on the off stump line. Gayle, who went over long-on last ball, tried to slog this one too square on the leg side and that led to his down fall. The bat whooshed past the ball .. Clatter! 94/113.1 McCullum is run out A big wicket. It was pushed towards deep square-leg .. Rajat Bhatia rushes in and fires in the throw to Dan, who very calmly breaks the stumps. They managed to steal two runs in the last over when McCullum tapped past square-leg but that was hit far more gently than this one. 111/3Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL181/3 (20 Overs, RR: 9.05)Fall of wickets: 1-94 (Chris Gayle, 10.2 ov), 2-104 (Sourav Ganguly, 11.5 ov), 3-111 (Brendon McCullum, 13.1 ov)

Another quick skiddy delivery from short-of-length on the middle and off stump line .. Warner shapes for that short-arm pull but is beaten by the skidding pace. Clatterrrrrrr! 0/114.5 Ajiteyyyyyy! Chopped on! twist twist twist! Fullish inswinger outside off, Sehwag was backing away to play the big off drive and the late swing meant the ball took the fatal inside edge 134/410.3 Gambhir is run out Ganguly with the direct hit! He moved forward from mid-off to cut off the off drive and threw down the stumps at the non-striker's end. Gone! 99/211.3 Mendis takes out Colly and Ganguly is delighted! Done in by the googly! Collingwood picked it very late and chipped it straight to deep midwicket 103/318.2 surely, game over now?! DK went for the swing across the line but dragged it straight to midwicket. Dinda, who started the damage by taking out the off stump of David Warner, has returned to take out DK 152/816.3 Dada is rocking out there tonight!
