- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10.6 that's an ordinary ball but he's got a wicket! Balaji banged it in short, Hussey saw a scoring opportunity and pulled it, he hit it flat and straight to Morgan at midwicket, picked out the fielder. He perhaps tried to hit it a bit too hard, looking for a release after all the pressure 49/33.5 caught and bowled! Vijay steps out a fraction and is beaten in the flight, he stops and plays a soft flicky kind of shot and ends up chipping it back to the bowler at a gentle pace and lovely height. That's the easiest caught and bowled in the world 8/15.4 caught at midwicket! Yusuf took all the pace off the ball and angled it into Raina, he came forward and tried to swing it over midwicket, didn't make proper contact and hit it straight to Kallis. Yusuf celebrates aggressively. 15/219.6 full ball outside off stump, Badri steers the ball through cover point and tries to come back for the second run, the throw from the deep is good and Boucher breaks the stumps and beats Badri's dive. He sacrificed his wicket there, Badri's played a superb innings. 114/4Extras6 (lb 3, w 3)TOTAL114/4 (20 Overs, RR: 5.7)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Murali Vijay, 3.5 ov), 2-15 (Suresh Raina, 5.4 ov), 3-49 (Michael Hussey, 10.6 ov), 4-114 (S Badrinath, 19.6 ov)
