1.1  S.Bond to C.Gayle, Six!  (6) 
1.2  S.Bond to C.Gayle, He walks across his stumps trying to paddle it away, but misses it. And the keeper's appealing! There was a sound as the ball passed the batsman, and the umpire is unmoved. Replays show it was off the pad. Good call.  (0)

1.4  S.Bond to C.Gayle, The run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more!  (3) 
1.5  S.Bond to S.Ganguly, Someone should really tell him what that bat is for. Clean bowled!

Ball-by-ball Commentary-

Code:
0.1  S.Tait to G.Smith, The batsman lines up for a big slog over cow corner, but gets an inside edge, which scoots past the stumps and the keeper for four runs! The bowler has a wry smile, if the batsman keeps that up, it won't be too long till he's back in the pavillion...  (4) 
0.2  S.Tait to G.Smith, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! The keeper is after it...he's runs hard...and the ball lands just after him! He drops a glove and hurls the ball in to keep the batsman to just a single.  (1) 
0.3  S.Tait to D.Warner, That's gone high...really high...very very very high...it's lost in the sky...will someone catch this? The fielders all come under it...someone has to take it...oh yes he has! Splendid effort!

0.4  S.Tait to Y.Singh, Good bouncer. The batsman attempts the hooks, and gets a top edge which lands safe. Only one.  (1) 
0.5  S.Tait to G.Smith, Ah, the quicker ball. The batsman was late on it. No run.  (0) 
0.6  S.Tait to G.Smith, Neat little late cut, beats the slip and short third man. The batsmen get two.  (2)

1.3  RP Singh to G.Smith, He comes on the front foot to drive it, and is beaten for bounce! But instead of checking his shot, he follows through with it and sends it sailing into the pavillion! 6 runs, excellent batting!  (6) 
1.4  RP Singh to G.Smith, Very well bowled.  (0) 
1.5  RP Singh to G.Smith, Good length delivery on the stumps, the batsman just leans forward and drives it past mid-on for four more. Lovely shot.  (4) 
1.6  RP Singh to G.Smith, I don't think he'll be attempting any more bouncers after that. The batsman has hooked that away magnificently for six!  (6)

15.1  N.Hauritz to E.Morgan, And that's going all the way, four runs!  (4) 
15.2  N.Hauritz to E.Morgan, Ah, the quicker ball. The batsman was late on it. No run.  (0) 
15.3  N.Hauritz to E.Morgan, The run the first hard, they come for two, the fielder has the ball, they call for the third...will they get there!?! The throw is in, it's wide, the batsman makes the dive...and he's in! Excellent running, and poor fielding. 3 more!  (3) 
15.4  N.Hauritz to T.Srivastava, That's gone high...really high...very very very high...it's lost in the sky...will someone catch this? The fielders all come under it...someone has to take it...NOOOOOOO! It's been dropped! And the batsmen manage to come back for a third in all the chaos!  (3) 
15.5  N.Hauritz to E.Morgan, Very well bowled.  (0) 
15.6  N.Hauritz to E.Morgan, He's slogged that down to cow corner. Long on runs in to field, and the batsmen get two. The captain is clearly not very happy with his fielder's effort there.  (2)

18.4  I.Sharma to E.Morgan, Beautiful shot! Down the ground, easy four for the batsman.  (4)

19.3  W.Parnell to J.Singh, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! The keeper is after it...he's runs hard...and the ball lands just after him! He drops a glove and hurls the ball in to keep the batsman to just a single.  (1) 
19.4  W.Parnell to T.Srivastava, Easy single.  (1) 
19.5  W.Parnell to J.Singh, Full, wide, the batsman flails at it and finds the edge! But the ball flies between the keeper and slip, who just stare at each other as the ball runs away for four! Unlucky!  (4) 
19.6  W.Parnell to J.Singh, Hit hard but straight to the fielder, the batsmen scamper through for the single!  (1)
