- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.2 how soft is that for a soft dismissal? saw a flighted ball, and looked to whip it over mid on, ended up mistiming it completely, and the ball hung around in the air and came weakly over to mid on who gladly accepted the gift, PArthiv's horror game is over 11/113.5 gone! this was coming, came down in another of those blind charges, missed the flat ball completely but the ball did not return the favour, it clattered right in to the middle of middle stump, extremely uncharacteristic knock from Baz is over 83/36.4 Bravo does it with the slower one, bowls the bait very full, Rao goes for the big shot over the bowler's head, gets in to it too early, the ball goes high off the edge and Bravo is waiting underneath as it comes down 45/217.6 Suresh Raina takes an excellent catch at deep square leg, Jadeja had walked across and outside off stump to flick the fuller one over short fine leg, edged it high in the air, back went Suresh from backward square leg, kept his eyes on the ball, and took a juggling, diving, tumbling catch in the end, he is delighted with the effort, so he should be 115/419.3 Owais is run out, Hodge backed away and missed with the big swing, Owais was already half way down the pitch and had no hope of getting back as Dhoni lobbed the ball back to Dougie 137/5Extras9 (lb 2, w 7)TOTAL141/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.05)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Parthiv Patel, 2.2 ov), 2-45 (Gnaneswara Rao, 6.4 ov), 3-83 (Brendon McCullum, 13.5 ov), 4-115 (Ravindra Jadeja, 17.6 ov), 5-137 (Owais Shah, 19.3 ov)
