| OUT |
| Over | Event |
| 3.5 | 3.5 Dinda to Hopes, out Caught by Hodge at mid on!! Slightly short on the middle and leg, hurrying onto the right hander with some extra bounce, Hopes looks to pull it away, top edge flies straight down the throat of the man inside the ring, soft dismissal, Dinda draws first blood! Hopes c Hodge b Dinda 18(12) <4s-4> |
| 8.6 | 8.6 Hafeez to Yuvraj, out Stumped!! Yuvraj looks to drive and misses, the keeper fumbles too as Yuvraj loses his balance, falls over and his boot is millimeters outside the crease, the keeper flicks off the bails and I must say that this was touch and go, matter of one frame here and there, looked like the boot was in the air when the bails were taken off, OUT has been flashed on the giant screen, the crowd goes into stunned silence, Yuvraj is disappointed, big wicket as far as the Knightriders are concerned! Yuvraj st Saha b Hafeez 17(10) <4s-2 6s-1> |
| 11.3 | 11.3 Hussey to Marsh, out Stumped!! Hussey deceives Marsh with the flight and turn there, Marsh swings wildly through the line, misses and the keeper juggles with it slightly, clips the bails in time though and this is a big big wicket, Marsh was looking so very dangerous!!! Marsh st Saha b Hussey 40(32) <4s-5 6s-1> |
| 12.1 | 12.1 Gul to Jayawardene, out Caught by Ganguly at short mid wicket!! Short rising delivery to start off, hurrying onto him, Jayawardene looks to pull, mistimes it straight to the skipper, safely taken, Ganguly's bowling change does wonders! Jayawardene c Ganguly b Gul 10(6) <6s-1> |
| 13.3 | 13.3 Hussey to Goel, out Goel Run Out!! Fired into the left hander, Goel looks to drive and misses, so does the keeper, they set off for a quick single and Irfan responds, needless really, good throw and Hussey gets rid of the bails in a flash, Goel is way too short of his ground! Goel run out (Hussey) 6(7) |
| 18.3 | 18.3 Gul to Sangakkara, out Bowled!! Sangakkara exposes all the three stumps, gives too much to aim at for Gul, looks to play the paddle scoop and misses, the leg stump is uprooted! Sangakkara b Gul 28(21) <4s-5> |
| SIX |
