Highlights
|
Praveen Kumar to Sohal, FOUR!!, Cracking start from Sohal, fuller length and swinging away, he comes on the frontfoot and lofts it superbly square on the offside, one bounce and over the ropes, super shot
Harris to Sohal, out Caught by Karthik!! rush of blood from Sohal, was looking for the big one, does not middle it at all and ends up presenting Dinesh Karthik a simple catch at mid off, he was in no position to play that shot, seemed to be late on the shot a bit too, gives Harris his first wicket. Sohal c Karthik b Harris 7(5) [4s-1]
Praveen Kumar to Sangakkara, FOUR!!, Lovely way to get off the mark, it was in the zone to be hit and Sangakkara does it very well, fuller length and wider outside off, he comes on the frontfoot and drives it sweetly through the covers for a boundary
Harris to Dhawan, FOUR!!, Streaky but Dhawan will not mind that too much, good length and on the off, Dhawan was looking to pierce the offside field, gets a thick inside edge instead that goes just over the stumps and wide of Gilchrist for another boundary
Harris to Dhawan, FOUR!!, Hammered! Short ball and wide outside off, he waits for it and cuts it hard through the gap on the offside for another boundary, struck very very hard, poor delivery from Harris though, asking to be hit
Praveen Kumar to Sangakkara, FOUR!!, Poor fielding and that gives Sangakkara another boundary, it was Nayar at cover, Sangakkara drives it firmly and it went straight to him, he misses it completely and Praveen Kumar is fuming
Praveen Kumar to Sangakkara, FOUR!!, Great shot of the last ball of the over, Sangakkara takes a few paces down and converts a length ball into a half volley, hits it very hard between Dhawan and mid off for another boundary, top shot from the Captain
McLaren to Sangakkara, FOUR!!, McLaren errs in line a bit and Sangakkara is quick to get into position to put it away, drifts onto the pads in search of swing, he flicks it powerfully to pick up yet another boundary
McLaren to Dhawan, FOUR!!, very full from McLaren again and straight too, Dhawan times the flick beautifully and places it to perfection too, that raced away to the fence, easy pickings for Dhawan
McLaren to Dhawan, FOUR!!, Poor bowling from McLaren and Dhawan puts it away in style, short of length and no real pace on it, stands up quite nicely at hip height for Dhawan and he pulls it hard through deep midwicket for a boundary
Malik to Dhawan, SIX!!, Smoked over deep mid wicket, good length and just outside off, Dhawan was staying back for it, it was right in the hitting zone and he puts it away nicely, looks to be in great touch
Nayar to Sangakkara, FOUR!!, nicely done by Sangakkara, short and slanted across outside off, Sangakkara makes room, angles the bat slightly, upper-cuts it over the short third man fielder for a boundary
Chawla to Dhawan, FOUR!!, that was hit real hard, flatter and outside off, Dhawan reverse sweeps it past the short third man fielder, blazes away to the third man fence
Chawla to Sangakkara, out Caught by McLaren at deep square leg!! Sanga's good innings comes to an end! Chawla stays over the wicket, bowls a loopy delivery that spins into Sangakkara a touch, he slog sweeps it to deep square leg, but he holes out to McLaren who takes it with two hands. Sangakkara c McLaren b Chawla 35(28) [4s-5]
Valthaty to Dhawan, out Caught by Sunny Singh!! Caught by Sunny Singh!! Paul Valthaty's golden arm has delivered the goods for Punjab! Valthaty floats a slow, full delivery just outside the leg stump, Dhawan goes for the sweep, the ball takes the edge and flies straight to Sunny Singh at short fine leg who moves to his left, excellent stuff from this youngster. Dhawan c Sunny Singh b Valthaty 46(36) [4s-5 6s-1]
Chawla to Chipli, FOUR!!, Chipli is in very good form here, tossed up and spins away a bit, Chipli plays against the turn, gets forward and thrashes it over deep mid wicket, one bounce over the ropes
Valthaty to Chipli, FOUR!!, almost a chance there, length delivery outside off, Chipli swings through the line, does not go through with the shot, chips it to long off, the fielder runs and dives to his left, but he can't get there, probably he did not start off quickly and he spotted it late
Valthaty to Chipli, out Caught by Marsh!! However, it does not matter as Marsh makes amends! Valthaty again floats a good length, slower delivery, Chipli gets underneath the delivery, launches it to wide long on, Marsh runs towards his left and takes the catch with two hands, Valthaty can do no wrong here. Chipli c Marsh b Valthaty 14(12) [4s-2]
Harris to Duminy, FOUR!!, the fielding horror continues for Punjab, back of a length, slower delivery outside off, Duminy plays it late, opens the bat face and runs it down to third man, the fielder over-runs the ball, allows it to go past him for a boundary, that has gotten the crowd going at Uppal
McLaren to Duminy, out Caught by Chawla!! Hyderabad are losing there way here! Full delivery on the stumps, Duminy clears the front leg, looks to mow it over mid wicket, ends up miscuing it completely, the ball goes high, Chawla runs from long off and takes an easy catch. Duminy c Chawla b McLaren 18(16) [4s-1]
McLaren to Christian, no ball, SIX!!, that is brute force, short delivery outside off, Christian hangs back, crunches the pull shot, hits it hard and it sails over the deep mid wicket fence, but McLaren has overstepped as well, free-hit coming up
McLaren to Gony, out Bowled!! He has been cleaned up here! McLaren stays over the wicket and a little wider of the crease, angles a pacy, good length delivery into Gony, he is late in getting the bat down, the ball sneaks under the bat and uproots the middle stump, what an action packed over this is turning out to be from McLaren. Gony b McLaren 0(1)
McLaren to Christian, FOUR!!, Christian should consider playing tennis here, low full toss and wide outside off, it was also the back of the hand slower delivery, Christian employs a tennis like forehand shot, whacks it over the bowler's head, goes down the ground for a boundary
Valthaty to Christian, FOUR!!, does not matter how they come as long as they come, slower length delivery outside off, gets some extra bounce, Christian looks to slog it over mid wicket, gets an outside edge that goes to the third man fence
Valthaty to Christian, SIX!!, this is clean hitting, fuller length outside off, Christian makes room, clears the front leg, gets underneath the delivery and thrashes it inside out over wide long off, sails into the stands
Valthaty to Christian, out Bowled!! The split fingered slower delivery is doing the trick for Valthaty and Punjab! Lands it on a good length, Christian looks to swing across the line, swings too early and has the off stump pegged back. Christian b Valthaty 30(14) [4s-2 6s-2]
Valthaty to Mishra, out Lbw!! The golden boy is really putting on a show here! Full delivery on the stumps, Mishra looks to scoop it over the keeper, misses it and gets rapped on the front pad, Valthaty appeals and the umpire gives it out, that would have hit middle and leg, Punjab have truly found an all-rounder here. Mishra lbw b Valthaty 0(1)
Harris to Ravi Teja, FOUR!!, that is the way to play the short ball, on the middle and leg stump, Ravi Teja scoop/pulls it to fine leg, one bounce over the ropes

Highlights
|
Steyn to Gilchrist, FOUR!!, Gilchrist is still in fine fettle, if you bowl on the pads that is, that's what Steyn does, errs with his line, on the middle and leg and Gilchrist with a shuffle whips it to the right of short fine, he was in and Gilchrist with a boundary will get off the mark
Steyn to Valthaty, FOUR!!, superb slash from Valthaty, went back and used the depth of the crease, it was a similar delivery to the previous one, but what he did was he gave himself a little bit of room to free the arms, before cracking it down to the point fence
Ishant to Gilchrist, FOUR!!, this time he won't make a mistake, reached out to a full and wide delivery and as he used to do so often in his prime, the hand-eye co-ordination is so good that the ball raced away past cover in a flash, superbly struck by Gilchrist
Steyn to Valthaty, FOUR!!, shot Paul! This fella looks a good player, it was drifting down middle and leg, a short arm flick off the pads and the ball raced away to the deep square leg fence, beautifully struck by Valthaty
Ishant to Valthaty, SIX!!, you can't err to this man, not a bad ball by any means, but the width was there for Valthaty to unleash a monster of a slash, the ball flew off the blade and landed just beyond the boundary ropes at square third man, Ishant has a pretty long hard look at Valthaty who moves away, terrific shot
Gony to Valthaty, FOUR!!, fraction short on middle, Valthaty picks the length very early and pulls it down to deep mid wicket, no protection in the deep for the bowler and he will suffer, Gony knows that and asks for a man to be put there
Gony to Valthaty, FOUR!!, that has been knifed on the up, short of length delivery on off and middle, Valthaty mistimed it, but it still goes over mid off and races away
Gony to Valthaty, SIX!!, more comprehensive and crisper from Valthaty, that has been catablasted by Valthaty, that's a new word taken out from the Andy Zaltzman school, comes down the track and got under the good length delivery and smashed right out of the boundary hoardings, Valthaty has a great eye and he is showing it here, the Punjab dug-out like it, this is sensational batting
Gony to Valthaty, FOUR!!, keeps getting better and better, slight width and crunched on the up, long off dived to his left, got a hand to it, but couldn't parry it back, the power on that shot was awesome, Valthaty is tearing into the best bowling attack and he is doing it easily
Gony to Valthaty, FOUR!!, I tell you this Valthaty will soon play for India, that's how good this fella is, magnificent batting and all Gony can do is just have a nervous wry smile at Valthaty, orthodox open faced square drive on a bent knee and the ball went away to the fence before you could complete saying oi Manpreet Gony , what entertainment this is from Valthaty, 5 boundaries off the over and all special ones
Gony to Gilchrist, FOUR!!, as soon as I put that, Gilchrist takes it as an insult and sledge-hammers the pull, it was not all that short, but Gilchrist is still good enough to rock back and smash it one bounce over the ropes at wide long on, the fun just continues
Gony to Gilchrist, SIX!!, Gony has been DLFed, Gilchrist has teed off against Gony and poor Gony doesn't know what is going on out there, it was swinging into the pads, Gilchrist cleared the front leg and opened the right hip to free his arms and flicked it effortlessly over deep mid wicket, the ball landed a good 10 rows back into the stands, looks like both will go after the bowling now
Mishra to Valthaty, FOUR!!, bit of MS Dhoni in that shot, that's how Mahendra Singh Dhoni hit Murali in the World Cup final, fraction short outside off, Valthaty rocks back and carves it right on top of the bounce, tremendous bat speed as Valthaty played that and the ball flew over the cover fielder before going down to the boundary ropes
Steyn to Gilchrist, FOUR!!, Gilchrist is still in fine fettle, if you bowl on the pads that is, that's what Steyn does, errs with his line, on the middle and leg and Gilchrist with a shuffle whips it to the right of short fine, he was in and Gilchrist with a boundary will get off the mark
Steyn to Valthaty, FOUR!!, superb slash from Valthaty, went back and used the depth of the crease, it was a similar delivery to the previous one, but what he did was he gave himself a little bit of room to free the arms, before cracking it down to the point fence
Ishant to Gilchrist, FOUR!!, this time he won't make a mistake, reached out to a full and wide delivery and as he used to do so often in his prime, the hand-eye co-ordination is so good that the ball raced away past cover in a flash, superbly struck by Gilchrist

Christian to Gilchrist, SIX!!, my word Gilchrist can hit or what, giving Christian a bit of his own medicine, it was right in the hitting slot, Gilchrist picked up the bat from a low level and got under that, before slamming it into the shamianas which are about 10 rows back, 95 metres hit that
Christian to Gilchrist, FOUR!!, Ravi Teja at sweeper cover is sliding and diving to his right, but his football skills won't help as the ball beats him, it was a carved away by Gilchrist and the ball purred across the turf
Christian to Gilchrist, FOUR!!, the Punjab side are looking to finish things off early, a gift of a low full toss outside off, Gilchrist sliced it hard and over point, sweeper cover had no chance, the Punjab side are racing away to their target
Mishra to Gilchrist, SIX!!, connect he can and gets to his first FIFTY!! with a clean hit over the sight-screen, comes down the track and launches it with the spin, a fist pump to boot from Gilchrist as he clearly likes the knock
Duminy to Valthaty, SIX!!, Valthaty spreads his arms and celebrates on reaching FIFTY!!, what a clean strike again, stays back on the crease and smashes it straight down the ground, long off made a valiant effort to catch that with his right hand, but it just eluded his attempt, superb knock by Valthaty
Duminy to Valthaty, SIX!!, Valthaty Valthaty they would be shouting back in Kerala - that's where is from. Not to mention the ones back in Punjab. Skips down the wicket and gets to the pitch, before clobbering it way back into the stands at mid off, Gony didn't even look at the ball, what an innings and what a partnership this is turning out to be
Mishra to Gilchrist, out Caught by Ravi Teja at deep square!! Mishra and Gilchrist are having a bit of a battle and it ends with Mishra sending off Gilchrist. Mishra pumped his fist and pointed out the way to the dressing room to Gilchrist. But Gilchrist has done his job, pulled straight to the fielder and down his lap. Gilchrist waves the bat to all corners of the ground and takes in the applause. Gilchrist said 'well bowled well bowled' in jest and with a smile on his face to Mishra, which prompted the send-off. Gilchrist c Ravi Teja b Mishra 61(46) [4s-5 6s-3]
Mishra to Valthaty, SIX!!, that is an DLF upper decker shouts Kasper on air and I agree, Valthaty was not to the pitch of it, yet he slog swept way back into the stands at wide long on, a mighty swing of the bat and boy didn't he connect it well, what clean and crisp hitting this is from Valthaty
Mishra to Valthaty, FOUR!!, Valthaty has a date with someone later tonight, he comes down the track and belts the cover of the ball, long off gave up the chase quite quickly and Pommie must be friends with Ravi Shaz, reminds us of his iconic cliche: 'That has gone to the fence like a tracer bullet.'
Mishra to Valthaty, out Caught by Ishant at long on!! Mishra can keep staring at Valthaty all night long. It won't take away the beauty of the innings. The googly from Mishra, Valthaty probably got tired by all the hitting, mistimed it, the ball went to long on, Ishant moving to his left took a smart catch. The bat turned in Valthaty's hands as he played that. He walks off after some serious batting. A sight to see. Valthaty c Ishant b Mishra 75(47) [4s-8 6s-5]
Ishant to Karthik, 1 run, dropped by Duminy at backward point, cut hard and to the left of JP who got both hands to it, he is a fine fielder and he would've expected to catch that, but it went to ground
Christian to Nayar, FOUR!!, a crunchy pull shot, it was on a length to be pulled and Nayar timed the frontfoot pull beating deep mid wicket with ease
Christian to Nayar, FOUR!!, nothing is going right for Deccan, a top edged pull goes over Sanga's head and rolls down to the fence, only a single needed now
Steyn to Gilchrist, FOUR!!, Gilchrist is still in fine fettle, if you bowl on the pads that is, that's what Steyn does, errs with his line, on the middle and leg and Gilchrist with a shuffle whips it to the right of short fine, he was in and Gilchrist with a boundary will get off the mark
