Highlights
Balaji to Sohal, FOUR!!, Sohal backs away and takes on Balaji's swinging delivery, a sliced drive over the point fielder, third man tried to cut it off with his right hand but it eluded him and went away to the fence
Balaji to Sohal, FOUR!!, flew off the thickish outside edge, Sohal's cut flew wide of third man, who was very square, a much needed boundary, for Sohal and for his side
Lee to Dhawan, FOUR!!, swivel pulled away down to the fine leg region, it was short and down leg, Dhawan got inside the line and pulled it away past the fine leg fielder who was a tad squarer
Lee to Dhawan, FOUR!!, exceptional shot, the square drive from Dhawan, all timing and the ball screams away to the fence, to the right of backward point and third man had no chance, back to back boundaries for Dhawan and his side are away, Dhawan looks to be in fine nick
Balaji to Sohal, FOUR!!, wrong line and it has been put away by Sohal, he not only makes room and goes over the off side, he can play the deft tucks off the pads too, it was sliding down leg, Sohal glances it down to the vacant fine leg region
Abdulla to Sohal, out Caught by Morgan!! Your strength can be your weakness too. That applies to Sohal who is gone. Made room and cut it straight to cover point. He timed it well, but picked out the man. Sohal c Morgan b Abdulla 26(20) [4s-3]
Abdulla to Sangakkara, out Caught by Kallis!! What a soft dismissal that is. Such a simple catch. Sangakkara played a half-hearted flick and it found Kallis at mid wicket. Abdulla is a hard man to catch as he is running all over the ground in joy. Sangakkara c Kallis b Abdulla 0(2)
Abdulla to Dhawan, FOUR!!, reverse paddled easily by Dhawan down to third man, it was outside off and Dhawan got it away fine of the man
Bhatia to White, FOUR!!, Brett Lee would be kicking himself for not fielding that despite a dive, a low full toss, on the stumps, hit powerfully down to the left of long on, where Lee got a hand, but it went through his fingers
Bhatia to White, out Bowled!! White swings wildly and completely misses the slower one from Bhatia, it was full and straight, White's poor run of form continues, Bhatia gets his first and a timely wicket for KKR. White b Bhatia 13(13) [4s-1]
Bhatia to Christian, out Lbw!! Bhatia gets his second but this one is a howler from the umpire, Asnani. It was the slower one again, Christian looks to drive and gets a thick inside edge onto his pads, Asnani thought about it for a while and raises his finger slowly and Christian is clearly not impressed. Christian lbw b Bhatia 1(3)
Yusuf Pathan to Ravi Teja, FOUR!!, Very well placed by Ravi Teja, gets a boundary for it, it was dragged short by Yusuf Pathan, Ravi Teja rocks back and pulls it nicely between long on and deep mid wicket
Bhatia to Dhawan, SIX!!, Unadkat did not have any baseball mitts but did brilliantly without any, it was lofted nicely by Dhawan towards deep mid wicket, Unadkat, at the ropes, judged it well, jumped up and took it with his left hand jumping back, momentum takes him over the ropes and he is very disappointed, terrific effort nevertheless
Abdulla to Dhawan, FOUR!!, Abdulla fires it in a little wide outside off as he sees Dhawan coming down, Dhawan was up to it though, hammers it straight down the ground. Lee sprints across from long off and gets to it but it sneaks past him and trickles over the ropes
Abdulla to Ravi Teja, FOUR!!, Handsome hit from Ravi Teja, shimmies down the track, gets to the pitch of the delivery and lofts it superbly past a sprinting Lee to the long on fence
Balaji to Ravi Teja, FOUR!!, short of length and way outside off, Ravi Teja waits for it and hammers it through the covers for a much needed boundary, connected that beautifully
Lee to Dhawan, 2 runs, Lee fires it into the blockhole from round the wicket, Dhawan digs it out on the offside and a fumble at point allows them to get back for the second, Dhawan also gets his FIFTY!!
Lee to Ravi Teja, out Bowled!! The off stump has been sent for a toss, Fast and Furious, right in the blockhole once more from Lee, Ravi Teja looks to swing it on the onside but misses it and it crashes into the stumps, Ravi Teja has to begin the long walk back and Lee has delivered yet again at just the right time. Ravi Teja b Lee 30(22) [4s-3]
Kallis to Dhawan, out Bowled!! Kallis gets the crucial wicket, that could well end the charge of Deccan, Dhawan was trying to be a little cheeky here, walks way across his off stump looking for the big one on the onside, Kallis keeps it nice and simple, delivers a full delivery on the off, Dhawan misses it completely, the off stump is sent flying. Dhawan b Kallis 54(45) [4s-4 6s-1]
Lee to Chipli, FOUR!!, Super shot from Chipli, it was a full toss, still very quick, Chipli backs away and lofts it nicely over cover for a boundary
Lee to Chipli, FOUR!!, Chipli is not going to go down easily here, backs away once more and smacks a fuller length delivery inside out over cover for his second boundary on the trot, top shot
Kallis to Chipli, 1 run, catch dropped!! Pitched up and on the middle and leg, Chipli smacks it straight to Sangwan at mid wicket who drops it, just a single but KKR win and it takes them right to the top of the table!

Christian to Gambhir, no run, catch dropped!! Gambhir was looking to run it down to third man, just took the edge and it goes off Sanga's gloves, he couldn't get the second grab too, wasn't an easy chance mind you!
Mishra to Kallis, out Caught by Ravi Teja!! Kallis perishes! Kallis came down the track and wanted to go over long off, got the elevation, it took ages to come down, Ravi Teja moves to his left and settles nicely under it, safe catch! Kallis c Ravi Teja b Mishra 30(31) [4s-4]
Ojha to Gambhir, FOUR!!, the dancing shoes are on, Gambhir comes down the track and lofts it over the bowler's head, as straight as it could get, that's the shot Sangakkara plays pretty well, one bounce over the ropes
Ojha to Gambhir, out Caught by Sangakkara!! That shot had earned Gambhir many runs in this lovely knock of his, he backed away a tad and looked to run it wide of the keeper, gets a faint edge and Sangakkara takes a good catch, he didn't have any time, there was some deflection, he did well to pouch it in his gloves. Gambhir c Sangakkara b Ojha 35(22) [4s-3 6s-1]
Ojha to Yusuf Pathan, 1 run, catch dropped!! OMG! You don't want to drop a Yusuf Pathan, would you? Yusuf Pathan slog swept it, the ball went up in the air, tried its best to overcome the gravitation pull and go away, but succumbs and falls down quickly, Mishra was running to his left from deep mid, covers the ground but spills it. Poor stuff!
Ojha to Yusuf Pathan, SIX!!, that's huge! Yusuf Pathan gets down and slogs it over long on, that one landed in the first tier, that was the same shot attempted earlier this over, he's not miscuing it again this time around, top shot!
Mishra to Yusuf Pathan, FOUR!!, Can you believe it? Dear o dear, another dropped catch! Yusuf Pathan clobbered it to long on, didn't quite get the distance, Christian was at the edge of the ropes, all he had to do was to jump at the right time, he ended up jumping a tad early, goes with both hands, but loses balance, falls back and the ball pops out, one bounce over the ropes
Mishra to Yusuf Pathan, SIX!!, Yusuf Pathan has decided to make them pay! Goes over extra cover this time around, got under it and just smacked that with power, goes all the way, one of those flatter sixes that you see
Steyn to Tiwary, FOUR!!, Tiwary backs away, uses the pace of Steyn and cuts it over and wide of short third man, one bounce over the ropes, that would give Tiwary some confidence
Steyn to Tiwary, FOUR!!, effortless! Tiwary clears his front leg and carves it through mid wicket, places it to perfection, that's a brilliant shot, in the gap
Ishant to Yusuf Pathan, SIX!!, Go fetch it, says Yusuf Pathan. He rocks back and swats it flat batted, mighty hit that, goes over the long on boundary and into the stands, the crowd have some catching to do
Christian to Tiwary, SIX!!, It's payback time! Tiwary rocks back and pulls it over the mid wicket boundary, a wild swing of the bat that, it was a tad slower and the right length, Tiwary pounced on it like there's no tomorrow
Ishant to Yusuf Pathan, FOUR!!, plundered! Off the backfoot again, pulled with venom through mid wicket, the fielder dived to his left but couldn't stop it, rockets away!
Steyn to Tiwary, FOUR!!, gift! Full toss from Steyn, Tiwary gets it over mid wicket, bisects the two fielders in the deep
Steyn to Tiwary, out Caught by Dhawan!! The slower one has resulted in the downfall of Tiwary, he was getting too predictable by backing away for every delivery, reaches out again and slices it straight into the hands of sweeper cover,end of another decent innings. Tiwary c Dhawan b Steyn 33(28) [4s-3 6s-1]
Steyn to Yusuf Pathan, FOUR!!, nice use of the wrists, Steyn doesn't get the yorker right, full toss on the body, wristy clip off the pads over square leg, four more
