12.4 -
Chahal to Raina, SIX, a hat-trick of sixes for Raina. Kohli looks a worried man. Floated up around off, Raina goes down on one knee and slog sweeps, it was a top-edge and the small ground helps Raina to collect another six

Dwayne Bravo c de Villiers b I Abdulla 5(4) [4s-1]
15.2 -
I Abdulla to Ravindra Jadeja, out Caught by Kohli!! Another big wicket for the home side. They have now picked up 3 in the last 4 overs.

Ravindra Jadeja c Kohli b I Abdulla 8(8) [4s-1]
14.1 -
Chahal to Dhoni, out Caught by de Villiers!! That is a huge wicket for BLR. Dhoni goes trying to score quickly. Chahal after getting some pasting has got both Raina and Dhoni. This was tossed up outside off, Dhoni goes for the inside out loft, he gets it squarer than he wanted, picks out one of the best fielders in the world. ABD never looked like dropping that at deep extra cover. Dhoni c de Villiers b Chahal 13(13) [4s-2]
12.5 -
Chahal to Raina, out Caught by Rossouw!! Finally, some respite for Chahal. Raina got a bit greedy there. He wanted to hit this for the fourth consecutive six in this over and perished in the process. This was pushed wider from Chahal, Raina came down the track, had to reach for it and he lofts it towards long-off, Rossouw runs to his right and takes it cleanly. Raina c Rossouw b Chahal 62(32) [4s-4 6s-6]
8.5 -
Harshal Patel to Dwayne Smith, out Caught by D Karthik!! Edged and caught! That's a huge wicket for Harshal, Smith was starting to take the game away from BLR. This was short of a length and held its line outside off, Smith was looking to run it down towards third man, is cramped for room, extra bounce as well, he ends up getting a thick edge. Karthik moves across to his right and gobbles the chance. Dwayne Smith c D Karthik b Harshal Patel 39(29) [4s-3 6s-3]
1.5 -
Chahal to Brendon McCullum, out Caught by Rossouw!! Chahal strikes! A short stay for McCullum, this was dropped short and just outside off, skidded through after pitching, McCullum was perhaps done in by some extra bounce, can't keep his cut down and finds Rossouw at cover-point. Just the kind of start BLR wanted, CHN have lost one of their gun players early. Brendon McCullum c Rossouw b Chahal 4(6) [4s-1]
