    Pathan to Ganguly
    and he's done it! Pathan fires it on the blockhole, Ganguly digs it out to the offside and sets off for the single to seal the win
    19.3
    6
    Pathan to Ganguly
    wow! Pathan overpitches outside off, Ganguly makes just a bit of room, lofts through the line and effortlessly carts it over the bowlers head
    19.2
    2
    Pathan to Ganguly
    charges down the track, a high full toss, he pulls just over Sreesanth at midwicket, that was not called a no ball as he was well out of his crease
    19.1
    6
    Pathan to Ganguly
    smart move so far! Pathan bowls from back of the crease, slides on the pads, Ganguly shuffles and whips it high over deep square leg
    18.6
    0
    Singh to Sharma
    he creams a full delivery to long-off, Ganguly wants to farm the strike and he refuses the single
    18.5
    1
    Singh to Ganguly
    the low full toss swinging away, Ganguly makes room and creams it hard to the offside, Yuvraj does well to cut that off at extra cover, that saves 3 runs for Punjab
    18.4
    4
    Singh to Ganguly
    Ganguly suddenly eases the pressure! VRV errs by slanting it on his pads, he makes room and whips it wide of midwicket, the timing was good enough
    18.3
    W
    Singh to Umar Gul
    Punjab claw back! He bowls it on a good length with good pace, Gul stays at the crease for the loft, he scoops it high in the air but doesn't get the desired elevation, Powar takes it easily at long-off
    18.2
    1
    Singh to Ganguly
    fires it on the blockhole outside off again, this time he pushes it firmly to long-off, only a single this time
    18.1
    2
    Singh to Ganguly
    fires it on the blockhole outside off, he mows it across the line to long-on, they scamper for a couple
    17.6
    4
    Sreesanth to Umar Gul
    Sreesanth lets it slip out early and the ball slides on the pads, he shuffles just a touch and the ball clips his pads and beats the keeper and fine leg comfortably
    17.5
    6
    Sreesanth to Umar Gul
    Gul is really justifying his No.8 slot here! Sreesanth lands his slower ball on the half volley, he slogs across the line and carts it high over cow corner, super shot
    17.4
    4
    Sreesanth to Umar Gul
    bangs it in short, Gil stays at the crease and clubs it across the line, he picks his spot well as there is nobody patrolling deep square leg to cut it off
    17.3
    0
    Sreesanth to Umar Gul
    excellent slower ball again, Gul makes room but is foxed by the legcutter outside off, there was nothing he could do about that
    17.2
    1
    Sreesanth to Ganguly
    good variation by Sreesanth as he bowls the slow bouncer, he makes room, plays too early and pulls it softly to short fine leg
    17.1
    1
    Sreesanth to Umar Gul
    Sreesanth comes back for a new spell, he lofts it high over mid-off but the ball just falls short of long-off
    16.6
    1
    Chawla to Umar Gul
    gets on his knee early and sweeps it square, Sreesanth picks it up
    16.5
    0
    Chawla to Umar Gul
    this one skids on him quick, he just manages to cover the line and fend it off, the ball nearly trickled on the stumps
    16.4
    1
    Chawla to Ganguly
    pushes it flatter, outside off, he makes room and places it just wide of short third man
    16.3
    6
    Chawla to Ganguly
    make that 28 off 5 balls! Chawla flights it on middle and leg, he stays at the crease and slog sweeps it over midwicket
