| 5.3 | Umar Gul to Smith, 1 run |
| 5.2 | Umar Gul to Sohail Tanvir, OUT, soft dismissal there, short of a length and Tanvir has holed out to mid-on, tried to go over the infield but can only manage a skier to mid-off, Butt is waiting there and it completes an all Pakistani dismissal ... Tanvir c Butt b Gul |
| Sohail Tanvir c Salman Butt b Umar Gul 13 (8b 1x4 1x6) SR: 162.50 |
| 5.1 | Umar Gul to Sohail Tanvir, no run, short of a length and a bit wide, feeling for that there, misses it, that was a good ball |
| Gul is on now. Pakistan to Pakistan again. |
| End of over 5 (16 runs) - Rajasthan Royals 42/1 (106 runs required) | Sohail Tanvir | | 13* (6b 1x4 1x6) | | AB Agarkar | | 1-0-16-0 | | GC Smith | | 24* (21b 4x4) | | I Sharma | | 2-0-17-1 | |
| 4.6 | Agarkar to Sohail Tanvir, 1 run, short of a length this time, angled to third man for a single |
| 4.5 | Agarkar to Sohail Tanvir, SIX, whoa! now that's a massive one, rocks back and pelts the short one way over square leg for a biggie, he's pulped that with all the might he can summon, what a shot |
| 4.4 | Agarkar to Sohail Tanvir, FOUR, that's languid, stands and smashes one matter-of-factly through mid-on for four, that's as calm as it gets, what a shot |
| 4.3 | Agarkar to Smith, 1 run, sensible stuff here, a tap and a run that follows a four, experience coming into play here |
| 4.2 | Agarkar to Smith, FOUR, spanked that one, moved away outside off and ripped that through point for four, raced away, that's beefy |
| 4.1 | Agarkar to Smith, no run, punched hard to cover, can't beat the field |
| Agarkar is on now |
| End of over 4 (7 runs) - Rajasthan Royals 26/1 (122 runs required) | GC Smith | | 19* (18b 3x4) | | I Sharma | | 2-0-17-1 | | Sohail Tanvir | | 2* (3b) | | AB Dinda | | 2-0-9-0 | |
| 3.6 | Sharma to Smith, 1 run, tip and run there, these two batsmen seem to have a good understanding |
| 3.5 | Sharma to Smith, no run, tries to glide one past point again but can't beat the field |
| What exactly has Tanvir been sent in for? I thought he was going to pinch-hit but here he seems to be anchoring the chase. Either way, Warne has shown what a freakish captain he is. Super. |
| 3.4 | Sharma to Sohail Tanvir, 1 run, short of a length again, tapped calmly to the leg side and that's a risk-free single |
| 3.3 | Sharma to Smith, 1 run, another risky run and Hafeez misses a direct hit, turned to square leg and they take off but that was too reckless, a direct hit there and Smith was gone |
| 3.2 | Sharma to Smith, no run, full and angling away, pushed to cover |
| 3.1 | Sharma to Smith, FOUR, that's a fine shot, slightly outside off and Smith uses the pace of the ball to glide it expertly behind point for four, that's class |
| End of over 3 (3 runs) - Rajasthan Royals 19/1 (129 runs required) | GC Smith | | 13* (13b 2x4) | | AB Dinda | | 2-0-9-0 | | Sohail Tanvir | | 1* (2b) | | I Sharma | | 1-0-10-1 | |
| 2.6 | Dinda to Smith, 1 run, glided away to third man for a single |
| 2.5 | Dinda to Smith, no run, full and outside off, steered to point |
| 2.4 | Dinda to Sohail Tanvir, 1 run, short of a length, pushed to mid-on for a quick single |
| Tanvir is a very handy batsman, by the way. Remember the T20 final in Jo'Burg? He nearly took Pakistan past the finish line. |
| 2.3 | Dinda to Sohail Tanvir, no run, good-length ball outside off, pushed to the off side, they think of a single but decide against it |
| 2.2 | Dinda to Smith, 1 run, short of a length, tapped to gully and they take off, Hussey goes for the direct hit but Tanvir would have made it in time |
| 2.1 | Dinda to Smith, no run, left alone outside off |
| Sohail Tanvir is the new man in, pinch hitter it seems, is this going to be a masterstroke? |
| End of over 2 (10 runs) - Rajasthan Royals 16/1 (132 runs required) | | I Sharma | | 1-0-10-1 | | GC Smith | | 11* (9b 2x4) | | AB Dinda | | 1-0-6-0 | |
| 1.6 | Sharma to Asnodkar, OUT, that's the breakthrough, swinging away from Asnodkar and he's thrown his bat at it wildly, tries to smash it through the covers but only manages an outside edge to the keeper, important wicket for Ishant, Asnodkar can be dangerous |
| SA Asnodkar c Saha b Sharma 5 (3b 1x4 0x6) SR: 166.66 |
| 1.5 | Sharma to Asnodkar, FOUR, that's Romesh Kaluwitharana at his best, Swapnil waits there and lashes that hard thorough the covers, not a man move, Eden stunned, what a creamer that was, the Goa Canon is on his way |
| 1.4 | Sharma to Smith, 1 run, full and outside off, Smith driving on the move, and they take off for a quick one, the mid-off fielder can't get a direct hit, that could have been very tight |
