- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.6 and this time he is out, caught! Dravid was getting frustrated with his inability to score runs in the last couple of overs, he tries to go down the pitch and play it over the long-off fielder, it beaten in the flight and caught at long-off. 50/24.4 tame, tame dismissal there, Rahane in some good form, tries to go over mid-off but that was rather meekly hit, not powered, and it goes straight to the mid-off fielder. 36/119.6 gone, is it gone, yes he has been dismissed off the last ball of the innings, yorker length, outside the off-stump, edged and taken by the wicket-keeper MS Dhoni. 146/418.5 goes for a slog shot and this time he is caught! There was one fielder in the circle on the leg-side and the heave goes straight to the right of Jakati. 142/3Extras14 (b 1, lb 2, w 11)TOTAL146/4 (20 Overs, RR: 7.3)Fall of wickets: 1-36 (Ajinkya Rahane, 4.4 ov), 2-50 (Rahul Dravid, 7.6 ov), 3-142 (Ashok Menaria, 18.5 ov), 4-146 (Owais Shah, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.3 gone, stumped! Hogg has had Badri stumped, wrong 'un, bit of flight, tried to go over the extra-cover, but missed, the batsman was out of the crease and Goswami quickly whips off the bails. 55/116.1 gone, finally, edged and taken! He went down the pitch, tried to slam it away, gets an edge through to the wicket-keeper and there was a period of waiting as he looked at the umpires over whether the ball had carried, out says the ump. 116/216.3 gone, caught by Rahane at long-off...that was slapped high up in the air and for most part, it looked like that the ball was going to sail over but Rahane takes an excellent catch at the edge of the fence! 117/3Extras2 (lb 1, w 1)TOTAL147/3 (20 Overs, RR: 7.35)Fall of wickets: 1-55 (S Badrinath, 7.3 ov), 2-116 (Faf du Plessis, 16.1 ov), 3-117 (Suresh Raina, 16.3 ov)
