Dwayne Bravo to Dhoni, FOUR, very full ball outside off, and Dhoni has sliced it past backward point. He's finished with 22 off 10 balls and propelled them to above 160
19.1 -
Dwayne Bravo to Dhoni, FOUR, Dhoni winds up big time and swings like crazy at a full ball, the outside edge flies past a diving Karthik, escaping his outstretched hand
15.2 -
Tambe to du Plessis, FOUR, steps to leg, and drives a leg-break over extra-cover. The length is nowhere close to being full, but Faf trusts the bounce and hits it on the up
13.0 -
Jakati to du Plessis, FOUR, shortish outside off, and Faf clatters it through the cover region. Sweeper cover is a bit too square and fails to get to it. Fifty for Faf
12.2 -
Jakati to du Plessis, FOUR, he has jumped out of the crease to get very close to the ball and then drills it powerfully down the ground. Lots of bottom hand. No chance for long-on
11.1 -
Faulkner to Pietersen, FOUR, pace is back on, and so is the boundary - after a gap of 18 balls. Back of a length delivery outside off, one which leaves the captain helpless as third man is up in the ring. KP waits on it and deliberately dabs it late to send it fine of the man
8.0 -
Tambe to du Plessis, FOUR, there's the boundary for the over. Pune are playing this very nicely. Faf makes room and drives a flatter leg-break off the back foot past extra-cover. Baz makes a stunning effort running round from long-on but can't prevent the boundary
4.4 -
Jakati to Pietersen, FOUR, good use of the feet, right to the pitch of the ball and drives it powerfully past mid-on, where Faulkner chooses not to put in the dive
3.3 -
Tambe to Rahane, FOUR, dances down the track, covers a lot of ground enabling him to get close to the pitch and lofts it neatly over mid-on. He's looking sublime
2.4 -
P Kumar to du Plessis, FOUR, Faf likes to use his feet and Raina knows him well enough, so the keeper is up. But he is so strong with that bottom hand. Nothing wrong with the ball, slightly on a back of a length outside off and he punches it crisply through the covers
1.5 -
Jakati to Rahane, FOUR, that's excellent use of the crease. Didn't look all that short a ball, but he made his own length by utilizing the depth of the crease and pulls it over mid-wicket. Rahane is on 14 off 7 with proper conventional strokes. No risks
1.4 -
Jakati to Rahane, FOUR, punched back firmly past mid-on. Slides back in the crease to a ball sliding in from a shortish length, and times it crunchily
0.2 -
P Kumar to Rahane, FOUR, that's a loosener and is duly dispatched. Short, wide and cut away through the point region. At his pace, PK can't afford this especially on a pitch as green as this. Oh yeah, if I didn't mention before - there's a lot of grass on the 22 yards
19.4 -
Dwayne Bravo to Dhoni, SIX, whacked over long-on. Sizes up a slower length ball outside off, and brutalizes it with a massive heave
15.3 -
Tambe to du Plessis, SIX, tipped over the fence! Oh, and it's Baz. You would usually expect him to take these. Not a conventional chance, but catchable by McCullum's standards. Lofted wide of long-off, Baz runs across, looks for an overhead reverse cup but palms it over the ropes
6.5 -
Jadeja to du Plessis, SIX, one step, two steps, and bang! Lovely batting this. They are getting a boundary every over, and Gujarat are struggling for control. Right to the pitch of the ball and pumps it straight back towards the sightscreen
5.5 -
Dwayne Bravo to du Plessis, SIX, seam up ball this time, it's on a full length and Faf has lofted it over mid-off. Planted his foot down, swung his arms through the line and clears the ropes
5.1 -
Dwayne Bravo to Pietersen, SIX, Bravo introduces himself with a real softie. It's neither this, nor that. Drops it on a nothing length on leg, sits up around KP's waist and he demolishes it with a pull over short fine leg. Flat six. Smashes into the ad hoardings
4.2 -
Jakati to du Plessis, SIX, skips out of the crease while stepping to leg, creates enough swinging room for himself - a little too much - as he has to reach out for the ball in the end. Hacks it over wide mid-on and just about clears the ropes
18.4 -
Jadeja to Mitchell Marsh, out Bowled!! Bowled him! Jadeja keeps it straight, flat and fast, and rattles into the timber. Skids under Marsh's attempted heave and terminates his misery. Mitchell Marsh b Jadeja 7(11)
16.2 -
Jadeja to Smith, out Caught by Faulkner!! It's been a real good comeback from Gujarat. And really, it's been spin (not that they are looking to turn the ball) which has swung the momentum their way. Fires it full and wide outside off, forces Smith to reach out and he can only slice it straight to deep extra-cover. Smith c Faulkner b Jadeja 5(6)
15.4 -
Tambe to du Plessis, out Stumped!! Gone, comes well down the track and misses it. Tambe cleverly slips in the slider, and gets it to sneak between bat and pad to foil Faf's slog. DK is neat behind the stumps. du Plessis st D Karthik b Tambe 69(43) [4s-5 6s-4]
14.0 -
Dwayne Bravo to Pietersen, out Bowled!! Bravo dupes the bejeezus out of KP with a slower ball, and is off to shake a leg in celebration. What a brilliant slower full toss. Dips on KP as he tries to flick it from outside off, and he chops it back on middle stump off a thick inside edge. Pietersen b Dwayne Bravo 37(31) [4s-2 6s-1]
3.5 -
Tambe to Rahane, out Lbw!! Tambe has skid through Rahane's defence and struck him on the back pad, a big appeal follows and the umpire raises his finger quick enough. The trajectory was flat and it was quicker through the air, that dissuaded Rahane from pressing forward and he got caught in the crease. Plumb in front of middle and leg. Rahane lbw b Tambe 21(17) [4s-4]
19.5 -
Dwayne Bravo to Dhoni, 2 runs, very full and Dhoni can't get under it, all along the ground to long-on. Wants two again and gets it as Karthik can't gather Jadeja's throw
19.2 -
Dwayne Bravo to Dhoni, 2 runs, drilled straight to long-off, and Dhoni is racing back for the second. Bhatia hesitates and is not sure, but has no choice seeing his captain hurtling towards him, buckles in and takes off. The throw is decent but Bravo fails to collect it
14.5 -
Faulkner to du Plessis, 2 runs, it's almost an action replay of the 3rd ball, just that I think Faf was in this time. Tucked in front of Jadeja at deep mid-wicket who rifles in another poor throw
14.3 -
Faulkner to Smith, 2 runs, Smith should have been gone. He really should have. Short of length ball which is tucked in front of deep mid-wicket, they risk a second run despite Jadeja swooping in quickly on the ball. Smith is gone for all money, but the throw is wide of the keeper who fails to collect. It's a rocket throw but not an accurate one
8.1 -
Jadeja to Pietersen, 2 runs, fired down leg, and KP nudges it wide of long-on
