The googly that spins back in, Dhoni hangs on the back foot and fails to connect with the nudge, the ball sneaks through and crashes into middle stump. The ball kept a tad low and Dhoni sees the turf before walking back. Dhoni b Chawla 1(4)

3.3 -
U Yadav to Raina, out Caught by Chawla!! Needless shot! When McCullum is going so well at the other end, it was not required for Raina to take on the bowling. A length delivery on the stumps, Raina backs away to the leg-side, wanted to go over mid-on, doesn't get the elevation and offers a simple catch to Chawla. The bat turned in his hands and hence didn't get the timing right. Raina c Chawla b U Yadav 8(10) [4s-2]
