Zaheer to J Botha, out J Botha Run Out!! 1 run completed. Zaheer finally gets the yorker right. Botha squeezes it out towards deep extra cover, the batsmen try to come back for the second but Duminy runs in from the boundary, picks it up and fires an accurate throw at the striker's end. Botha was miles out of his creases as Jadhav took the bails off. Anyway, it was a great little cameo from Johan Botha in the final over. It could well prove to be the difference between both sides at the end of the game. J Botha run out (Duminy/K Jadhav) 17(5) [4s-4]

Mishra to A Russell, no run, dropped! Russell gets an inside edge on the googly as he failed to pick it up, he was a little late to bring his bat down in time and the ball lobs up off the boot and goes to the right of the keeper, who tries to catch it after extending his right hand, but fails to hold onto it. Jadhav was a little lazy there as well, he should have tried harder to take that one

A Morkel to Uthappa, 2 runs, Uthappa has been dropped again, this time by Yuvraj, length delivery and just outside off, Uthappa was early into the flick, hits it straight to short mid-wicket. Yuvraj was perfectly placed there, the ball bursts through his hands and rolls away towards deep mid-wicket

Zaheer to Gambhir, 1 run, a direct hit and Gambhir was in big trouble once again, on a good length and just outside off, driven to the right of mid-off. Gambhir called for a quick single, he didn't bother to ground his bat, would have been short had there been a direct hit

A Morkel to Uthappa, no run, a direct hit from mid-off would have sent back Gambhir, he was completely stranded in the middle. Duminy was the fielder, he could have run and taken out the stumps, he shies and misses. This was full and just outside off, Uthappa gets a big stride forward and drove it to the right of short cover. Mathews dived and took the pace of the ball, the ball rolls towards mid-off. Gambhir set off for a quick single and was almost at the other end before being sent back, Duminy had plenty of time, someone could have come at the stumps. Nothing happened and Gambhir survives
