5.2	Gautam Gambhir to Nathan Coulter-Nile, 2, 71kph, Crunched through the off side. Well executed late cut. N Coulter-Nile pushes hard for two. Excellent running
5.3	Gautam Gambhir to Nathan Coulter-Nile, 6, 70kph, Fielder is underneath it but the ball sails over his head. SIX
5.4	Gautam Gambhir to Nathan Coulter-Nile, 0, 72kph, Excellent timing from N Coulter-Nile as he plays a late cut. No runs taken
5.5	Gautam Gambhir to Nathan Coulter-Nile, 1, 71kph, G Gambhir floats a delivery to N Coulter-Nile and he plays an extravagant square drive. Glorious timing. One more
5.6	Gautam Gambhir to Axar Patel, 6, 80kph, The straight one now. Crunched through the leg side. Well executed leg glance. Shouts of "catch it" but can only look on as the ball clears the ropes
Not the best of outings from G Gambhir. He'll want to forget this in a hurry.

	The new batsman is Dwayne Smith.
	The new batsman is Sami Aslam.
	Mahmudullah will start a new spell.
6.1	Mahmudullah to Sami Aslam, 0, 72kph, He finds a fraction of turn off the surface. S Aslam plays it gently through the off side and he struck that too firmly to take the single
6.2	Mahmudullah to Sami Aslam, 4, 79kph, That runs away for four
6.3	Mahmudullah to Sami Aslam, 1, 71kph, Mahmudullah tosses this one up to S Aslam and he puts bat to ball but mistimes it. One more to the total
6.4	Mahmudullah to Dwayne Smith, 2, 72kph, Excellent timing from D Smith as he plays a late cut. The batsmen run hard and complete a comfortable two
6.5	Mahmudullah to Dwayne Smith, 1, 86kph, Mahmudullah spears this one in to D Smith. He finds a fraction of turn off the surface. D Smith square drives but can't time it properly. One more
6.6	Mahmudullah to Sami Aslam, 1, 73kph, Not finding much turn off this surface. S Aslam swats this one. Misfields allowing the batsman to go through for the single
Not the best of outings from Mahmudullah. He'll want to forget this in a hurry.

	Dasun Shanaka will start a new spell.
7.1	Dasun Shanaka to Sami Aslam, 1, 123kph, D Shanaka pushes this through at no great pace. That one goes on straight. S Aslam cuts but can't time it properly. The batsmen only take one

7.3	Dasun Shanaka to Dwayne Smith, 0, 128kph, Crunched through the off side. Well executed cover drive. The non-striker calls for a non-existent run. D Smith rightly sends him back
7.4	Dasun Shanaka to Dwayne Smith, 1, 128kph, short and straight. D Smith plays a punchy cover drive. One more
7.5	Dasun Shanaka to Sami Aslam, 0, 126kph, S Aslam plays it gently through the leg side
7.6	Dasun Shanaka to Sami Aslam, 1, 127kph, This one is military medium from D Shanaka. S Aslam on-drives but can't time it properly. That is a comfortable single
A tad expensive from D Shanaka, but a decent outing for him today.
