- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.6 Karun falls, he comes down the track to a flighted one, nowhere to the pitch as it dips, tries to go straight over the bowler, but mishits it badly, Santokie runs in from long off and tumbles forward to take it 75/72.3 they have Hussey at deep midwicket, Chand pulls a short of a length delivery, Hussey runs and tumbles forward to complete the catch 17/14.2 he sees the chance to pull this shortish ball, but it spins away and bounces, and he toe ends it for mid on to take a simple catch to his right 38/25.3 another one goes, Samson tries going over the off-side infield, but he is nowhere in control as the slower one cuts away from him, he slices the mishit, Rayudu runs back from cover and takes it 42/37.4 what an incredible sequence this is, Pollard leaps high to take a one-handed screamer at long on as Cooper swats a shortish delivery, Pollard staggers to the ground, takes a couple of steps towards the boundary, the second one is probably millimetres away from the rope, he throws the ball up as he goes over, then runs back several feet, and dives forward to complete the catch, given after they check with the third umpire 61/48.3 Rajasthan crumbling, Ankit Sharma slog-sweeps from around off and deep midwicket comes a few steps forward to his left to take it 66/510.3 excellent from the legspinner to get his Karnataka team-mate, he continues to flight it outside off, Binny charges out and heaves, is beaten by the sharp turn and it is an easy stumping 69/618.5 Hodge starts walking down the track even as Santokie runs in to bowl, Hodge stops and slogs, but the connection is not good enough, and Rohit hops to take it at wide long on 144/8Extras8 (lb 1, w 7)TOTAL153/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.65)Did not bat: DS KulkarniFall of wickets: 1-17 (Unmukt Chand, 2.3 ov), 2-38 (Shane Watson, 4.2 ov), 3-42 (Sanju Samson, 5.3 ov), 4-61 (Kevon Cooper, 7.4 ov), 5-66 (Ankit Sharma, 8.3 ov), 6-69 (Stuart Binny, 10.3 ov), 7-75 (Karun Nair, 11.6 ov), 8-144 (Brad Hodge, 18.5 ov)
