Watson's gone, caught! this was brought from way behind the umpire, it was outside the off stump and Watson was trying to cut it hard through the covers for a four, instead gets an outside edge there and Karthik does the rest. 62/113.4 gone, caught, off a reverse sweep! Yagnik was looking to go after Harbhajan after those early dots this over, the ball seems to have bounced more than he expected and the top-edge goes to fine-leg where Tendulkar almost seemed to have lost the ball, grabs it in the end. 115/215.1 and Rahane was trying to go down again, gets an inside edge and there's an appeal for a run-out! out, the batsman's out by a yard, they were going for the second to Johnson's arm, he came in quickly and lets it loose at the non-striker's end where Ojha gathers it well and whips the bails away, Binny's gone! 126/3Extras15 (lb 7, nb 2, w 6)TOTAL179/3 (20 Overs, RR: 8.95)Fall of wickets: 1-62 (Shane Watson, 7.2 ov), 2-115 (Dishant Yagnik, 13.4 ov), 3-126 (Stuart Binny, 15.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 top-edged and out! Tendulkar was looking to sweep it across the line and the extra bounce gets the better of the sweep, it goes high in the air and Trivedi at short fine-leg takes an easy catch there 4/12.5 and he's gone now, Ponting's gone, caught and bowled! this is excellent stuff from the Royals, and from Chandila, the batsman was struggling throughout against him and this time he lobs up a simple catch back to the bowler, easily taken and Mumbai Indians are two down very quickly! 10/212.4 end of Karthik, caught at long-on! that was a painfully slow innings from Karthik, a fighting one all the same and it's finally ended with a shot to long-on that goes to hand. 61/56.1 gone, caught, Trivedi gets a wicket first ball! that was a normal delivery, nothing to write home about and he was looking to pull it over the mid-wicket fielder, instead gets it high on the bat and straight to the fielder, it looked like the ball did not come on to the bat. 26/37.5 bowled him now, Pollard's bowled and Mumbai are in trouble or what! it was a straighter one from Binny and there was a bit of swing there from the bowler, the ball through and Pollard's middle stump has been pegged back! 31/417.1 and now Cooper gets a late wicket, he was walking across the stumps and is trapped in front is Rayadu, and the ump has his finger raised 83/913.2 taken at short mid-wicket! end of Dhawan! that was fuller and he was trying to flick it away there, gets beaten by the lack of pace and is easily caught by Faulkner there, six down for almost nothing 63/613.5 gone now, run-out, don't know though! that's gone, one of them is gone, flicked away to the leg side by Rayadu and he was off for a single, Harbhajan was never interested and both the batsmen were at the same end! Both were at hand-shaking distance from each other although at that stage it seemed like they wanted to do anything but shake hands, in the end the third umpire has to intervene and send Harbhajan on his way! 64/716.1 fuller, straighter, was looking to play it across the line and is beaten, gets an inside edge, on to the pads and then, from there on to the stumps, the bails are down and so are the Mumbai Indians 83/818.2 ...but this time he's gone, on the stumps and Malinga misses, the leg stump is sent cartwheeling and Rajasthan have won the most comfortable of games here 92/10Extras7 (lb 4, w 3)TOTAL92 all out (18.2 Overs, RR: 5.01)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Sachin Tendulkar, 0.4 ov), 2-10 (Ricky Ponting, 2.5 ov), 3-26 (Rohit Sharma, 6.1 ov), 4-31 (Kieron Pollard, 7.5 ov), 5-61 (Dinesh Karthik, 12.4 ov), 6-63 (Rishi Dhawan, 13.2 ov), 7-64 (Harbhajan Singh, 13.5 ov), 8-83 (Mitchell Johnson, 16.1 ov), 9-83 (Ambati Rayudu, 17.1 ov), 10-92 (Lasith Malinga, 18.2 ov)
