- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 Uthappa goes as well, caught behind! Nicely bowled just outside off, it looked like Uthappa wanted to push it firmly down the ground but played the wrong line and gave a faint outside edge to the keeper. The umpire's finger went up immediately 21/32.1 bowled around his legs, PK punches the air! It pitched around leg and was swinging down a bit, for the leg slip in place, Gambhir glanced but the ball deflected off the thigh pad and change direction to hit the stumps! That's a big wicket for Lions 15/12.3 edged to the keeper, Pandey goes for a duck! What a beauty that was - just back of length on off stump with seam pointing towards the slips, Pandey doesn't move his feet and pokes at the ball as it swings away a bit and there's no room for him. Faint outside edge and an easy catch for the keeper 15/25.5 that's a stunner from Raina at slip! Whoa! I need to see a few replays to believe that. Smith angled the short ball in and Surya swayed his head out of the way to ramp that over the slips, it took his glove and then - Raina leapt a long way to his left with his right hand high and plucked the ball out of its path 24/4Extras6 (lb 2, w 4)TOTAL158/4 (20 Overs, RR: 7.9)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Gautam Gambhir, 2.1 ov), 2-15 (Manish Pandey, 2.3 ov), 3-21 (Robin Uthappa, 3.3 ov), 4-24 (Suryakumar Yadav, 5.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.3 leg stump gone! It was way slower at 80kmh, Smith came down and exposed his stumps while trying to slog it to leg, missed it completely and the crowd likes it! 42/17.5 Baz holes out to long-on! He was just starting to fire...came down the track, took the ball on full and slammed it straight down the ground. And Manish Pandey does well to pouch that near the boundary at chest height. The umpires check for no ball and it's fine 67/213.5 top-edge and Raina is gone! Short ball angling away, Raina pulls very unconvincingly and hands a pretty easy catch to Hoggy at fine leg 116/316.3 another wrong'un and this time he's stumped! Almost like an action replay as DK came down the track again, drove down but the turn beat him completely and Uthappa whipped the bails off 155/417.4 oh my, a run out when the scores are level. Finch is furious! Jadeja leaned into the ball to help it to midwicket and took a couple of steps before stopping and Finch wanted a quick single that didn't even exist. Manish Pandey collects the ball cleanly and runs to the stumps to take the bails off 158/5Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL164/5 (18 Overs, RR: 9.11)Fall of wickets: 1-42 (Dwayne Smith, 5.3 ov), 2-67 (Brendon McCullum, 7.5 ov), 3-116 (Suresh Raina, 13.5 ov), 4-155 (Dinesh Karthik, 16.3 ov), 5-158 (Aaron Finch, 17.4 ov)
