- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.2 another run-out for Rajasthan! Warne is bemused in the dugout. Vinay bowls this short, Ojha plays it straight to backward point. Lumb wants one, Ojha doesn't. It's Lumb's call, but Ojha doesn't budge. And it's an easy run-out at the non-striker's end 16/13.2 this one goes to hand! Looks to flick it on the up, it's just back of a length, and he gets a huge top edge, and that skies towards midwicket where Pandey takes a calm catch. Poor shot,l looking to drag it from outside off 21/32.4 Aravinda gone first ball! Doesn't stay long enough to show what Warne saw in him. Lovely bouncer. Cross seam, aimed at the temple, Paunikar looks to pull, is late into it, gets a faint edge, and Uthappa doesn't drop it 17/210.1 pulled straight to square leg! Looks to manufacture a shot, pulling off the front foot, hits low to the right of the only man in the circle on the leg side, and KP takes a sharp catch 53/411.4 slower ball, and Jhunjhunwala has been put out of his misery! Makes room early and doesn't get any bat behind this hit, and Kumble's long arms of the law make it easy at mid-off 58/513.1 Joga Bonito! full, slight outswing, pitches middle, takes off, wasted on Yusuf who is stuck on the back foot, expecting a bouncer, and in no position to play this one.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.5 slower ball, looks to tap it into the on side, and he gets a leading edge towards extra cover, and Yusuf holds onto it, but his facial reaction conveys visibility problem. Eyes contracting as if in smoke 42/21.3 played on! stays low and skids through as Kallis looks to cut it, the bottom edge cannons into the stumps 6/111.5 pushed to cover-point, KP wants one, Kohli says no, KP keeps running, Kohli stands his ground. KP is run out, but he gives Kohli a nasty glare, and then stands in the middle, perhaps suggesting he reached the striker's end first. KP has to go, say the replays. Unnecessary blip on Bangalore's night at the very end, slightly unsavoury too 113/410.4 appeal for stumping as he misses out on that switch hit. Replays shot that while he was stuck on the line for a second, a minute part of his foot slid back over it by the time bails came off. And he has given him out! Third Ump! "You make up your own minds at home. You saw it," says Jeremy Coney on air 102/313.4 short ball, pulls, and fins short midwicket. Drags it from wide outside off.
