OUT
Over Event
0.60.6 Vijaykumar to Sehwag, out Caught by RP Singh at square third man!! Short and wide outside the off stump, Sehwag slashes at it very hard, doesn't get the distance and goes straight down the throat of the fielder in the deep, simply done and Sehwag walks back to the disappointment of thousands awaiting to see him fire this evening, the skipper goes for a blob! Sehwag c RP Singh b Vijaykumar 0(2)
15.215.2 Ojha to Gambhir, out Stumped!! Gambhir comes down the track and Ojha spots that early, fires in down the leg side and interestingly, Gambhir leaves it all alone, the keeper flicks off the bails in a flash, strange cricket from the man who was going great guns, should have atleast looked to reach it and connect, anyways... what a knock from this Delhi bomber! Gambhir st Gilchrist b Ojha 79(49) <4s-7 6s-3>
17.417.4 Ojha to Maharoof, out Caught by Rohit Sharma at point!! Lobbed up outside the off stump, Maharoof looks to go across the line, miscues a hoick completely, skied up in the air and this time Rohit doesn't make a mistake, he kicks the ball away in frustration, sigh of relief for him, Maharoof has already done some damage though! Maharoof c Rohit Sharma b Ojha 19(10) <6s-2>
19.519.5 RP Singh to Dhawan, out Dilshan Run Out!! Dhawan looks to hoick it over mid wicket, doesn't connect, falls after hitting the pads, Dilshan comes charging for a non-existent single, the keeper gets to the ball easily and runs it back onto the stumps, that is the end of Dilshan, he was well short of his ground there... Dilshan run out (Gilchrist) 16(6) <4s-2 6s-1>
