- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.6 and success! RP goes fuller and Sohal goes back and across to try and get it away on the leg-side but gets struck flush on the pad. That was going to hit middle no doubt. 3/12.2 what a superb catch by Gomez. Dhawan tried to get under that full delivery and did but his lofted shot didn't have the distance on it. Gomez had to run from mid-off to deep extra cover and took the catch over his shoulder. 6/25.2 Can't keep Sree out of the action, can you? Chipli looks to work the ball through mid-wicket but closes the face of the bat too early and chips it up in the air. Simple catch for Sree at mid-off. 20/316.6 two in two for Vinay. Slower ball, Sanga looking to cut that and gets a faint edge through to Pathiv Patel who collects cleanly. Sanga out for 65, after surviving that peach of a ball from Sree when he was on six. 110/516.5 swatted and swatted straight to deep mid-wicket. Jayawardene has put himself there to collect the catch, good captaincy. White was looking for the big pull but didn't get enough on the ball and it went straight to Jayawardene. 110/419.3 yorker, in the block hole, Christian is looking to loft it over long-on but drags it onto his stumps instead. 127/619.4 Oh dear, oh dear. Whats is going on? Mishra wants to play the paddle, but misses and Ravi Teja has already screamed down to the stiker's end. Mishra sacrifices himself. 127/7Extras7 (b 1, lb 1, nb 2, w 3)TOTAL129/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.45)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Sunny Sohal, 0.6 ov), 2-6 (Shikhar Dhawan, 2.2 ov), 3-20 (Bharat Chipli, 5.2 ov), 4-110 (Cameron White, 16.5 ov), 5-110 (Kumar Sangakkara, 16.6 ov), 6-127 (Dan Christian, 19.3 ov), 7-127 (Amit Mishra, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.4 But the word makes no difference. McCullum pokes at one that shapes away, no footwork at all, gets the outside edge and Sanga has to dive forward to take it. Early breakthrough for the Chargers 0/13.6 And it is a mobile number indeed, one with a five in for Sharma. Jayawardene walks, as Sanga catches his best mate out. Steep bounce on offer and Sharma bowls a good length, climbs on Jayawardene and he gets an edge through to Sanga. 11/61.2 oh my goodness! The seam movement is just stunning and its the extra bounce is what gets Patel. He has a prod and is caught behind. Deccan right back in this, suddenly 130 looks like 150. 1/21.3 yowza! Ishant Sharma is on fire. Kept low and drew the Gomez onto the front foot but snuck through him and cleaned him up. 1/31.5 this is is a terrific display from Ishant. Fuller delivery, Hodge has no idea what has hit him, but he knows iits hit his stumps. No footwork at all, the ball slants in and bowls him. 2/43.1 Sharma! You Superstar! Straight delivery and traps Jadhav on the front pad, just on the roll and it's not too tough to call this out. Jadhav is the fifth batsman to depart for a duck in Kochi's innings. 6/515.4 launches but doesn't launch far enough. Down on one knee, slog sweeps that to Christian at deep mid-wicket who collects on the boundary 73/810.4 and we're back into wicket mode. Perera tries to pull that and he is hurried into the stroke. It ends up going to cover and Cameron White takes the catch. 47/716.2 Goner! That's a full, straighter one, held it's line and there was very little Vinay Kumar could have done about that. Offstump is castled and the end is near. Jayawardene looks increasingly glum in the pod 74/916.3 All over. Steyn finished with two wickets in two balls. Yorker length and RP was backing away and that came off his pad to dislodg the bail. Comprehensive win for the Chargers, who looked dead and buried mid way through their innings and came back with a bowling performanace that was simply phenomenal. 74/10Extras7 (lb 3, w 4)TOTAL74 all out (16.3 Overs, RR: 4.48)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Brendon McCullum, 0.4 ov), 2-1 (Parthiv Patel, 1.2 ov), 3-1 (Raiphi Gomez, 1.3 ov), 4-2 (Brad Hodge, 1.5 ov), 5-6 (Kedar Jadhav, 3.1 ov), 6-11 (Mahela Jayawardene, 3.6 ov), 7-47 (Thisara Perera, 10.4 ov), 8-73 (Ravindra Jadeja, 15.4 ov), 9-74 (Vinay Kumar, 16.2 ov), 10-74 (RP Singh, 16.3 ov)

Ishant five-for wrecks Kochi
