- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.2 RP Singh has his first wicket of the 2011 IPL. Good movement again, Hussey gets a top edge and he's on his way 11/17.2 appeal and given! Full delivery, strikes Vijay on the front pad as he looks to turn that to the leg-side and misses, plumb in front, that was hitting middle and leg. 48/215.1 it's all happening here. Great ball, full, and difficult to get away, Raina misses and wants the bye. Attempted run out from the keeper with an underarm throw, the bowler has a second go, hits the stumps and Raina is out. 109/413.2 Badri wants to improvise, by going for a biggie on the leg side, trying to flick it over fine leg, but he's chosen the wrong shot. It's hit the pad, absolutely plumb in front of middle and leg and there was no hesitation in giving that out. 96/3Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL131/4 (17 Overs, RR: 7.7)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Michael Hussey, 2.2 ov), 2-48 (Murali Vijay, 7.2 ov), 3-96 (S Badrinath, 13.2 ov), 4-109 (Suresh Raina, 15.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10.3 not quite down town this time. McCullum goes down the wicket and plays it high. This time he hasn't got all that much on it and Albie Morkel takes the catch at long off. In 2008, on this day, McCullum scored 158 not out. Nothing similar today 90/24.3 third time unlucky. Mahela looks for the big one again, and gets a leading edge and Anirudha comes in to take it at short cover 39/112.6 smashed straight to the man at deep mid wicket. Short and hittable, Patel rocks on his back foot but this one isn't going over the rope. Good knock from the ex Chennai man 110/3Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL135/3 (15 Overs, RR: 9)Fall of wickets: 1-39 (Mahela Jayawardene, 4.3 ov), 2-90 (Brendon McCullum, 10.3 ov), 3-110 (Parthiv Patel, 12.6 ov)
