Mohit Sharma to I Pathan, out I Pathan Run Out!! 1 run completed. Pune finish with a disappointing 152, they lost all the momentum towards the end. Another excellent delivery to round up the innings from Mohit, this was a slower yorker, well outside off as well. Pathan squeezed it in front of long-off, he was always going back for the second run. Maxwell could have thrown it at either end, he went for the striker's end with a rocket arm, Saha collects the ball and does the rest. Pathan wasn't even in the frame. I Pathan run out (Maxwell/W Saha) 2(2)

Sandeep Sharma to Rahane, out Bowled!! That's an ugly mow from Rahane and it has cost him his wicket. Sandeep has struck early for Punjab, this was a good length delivery that held its line outside off, Rahane was looking to slog it over mid-on, doesn't get anywhere near the pitch of the ball, the thick inside edge is found and the leg-stump is knocked out of its perch. A poor way to get dismissed, especially if it's a batsman who's of the Dravid mould. Rahane b Sandeep Sharma 9(11) [4s-2]
