- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.6 Uthappa goes, sliced that one straight towards point, was looking good, Vettori finished his over on a successful note, some width there and he'll feel he played a lazy shot 117/36.6 that's miles in the air, and it's well judged in the deep, short on the off and he attempted to pull that into the stands behind deep square leg, was a bit of a top edge in the end, took forever to come down and Mayank Agarwal, placed in the deep, never took his eyes off it 63/111.5 Ganguly has to go, Mayank Agarwal takes another good catch, was placed at deep point, short and wide and Ganguly cut it straight to him in the deep 108/218.3 Run-out, Samuels is livid with himself, slower one again, they tried to sneak another bye but AB hit his target this time, a direct hit at the striker's end and Samuels was caught well short 166/517.5 slower one bowled short and they try to sneak a bye, tried to whack that over point, missed, Samuels it appeared called for a single, de Villiers under-armed it back to Vinay and he took off the bails, Smith was given run-out immediately, the umpire didn't refer it, we need a replay to confirm that once again for our own purposes. The decision's already been made on the field. And that replay hasn't come yet. 164/419.5 Kohli takes an easy one this time, short outside off, tried to swat it over long-off but mistimed it completely, a comfortable catch to Kohli 178/6Extras7 (b 1, lb 3, w 3)TOTAL182/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.1)Fall of wickets: 1-63 (Jesse Ryder, 6.6 ov), 2-108 (Sourav Ganguly, 11.5 ov), 3-117 (Robin Uthappa, 12.6 ov), 4-164 (Steven Smith, 17.5 ov), 5-166 (Marlon Samuels, 18.3 ov), 6-178 (Angelo Mathews, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 The Dilscoop goes bad, tried to play that over the keeper and offered a dolly to the keeper, may have struck the helmet on the way, Pune have struck early 7/115.4 cleaned him up! The perfect yorker from Nehra, was in the blockhole on leg stump, excellent reply from the bowler, made way to strike it through the leg side, missed and timber! 127/45.6 Samuels strikes, was struck well but Manhas was perfectly placed at deep square leg, was at the edge of the ropes and kept his cool as that was pulled straight to him, made no mistake 42/211.5 The pressure grows on Bangalore, this time with the wicket of Kohli, swung at that one across the line, there was some away movement there, got the leading edge and Rahul Sharma running in from deep point, with the fielder at cover also running back, judged it well 72/3Extras7 (b 1, lb 1, nb 2, w 3)TOTAL186/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9.3)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Tillakaratne Dilshan, 2.3 ov), 2-42 (Mayank Agarwal, 5.6 ov), 3-72 (Virat Kohli, 11.5 ov), 4-127 (Chris Gayle, 15.4 ov)
