DD Over: 13 II Score: 84/4
Tambe to bowl his final over. Rohrer was looking to sweep his second delivery but it took an edge and the ball was caught by keeper after hitting the ground. That looked close. It was referred to the TV umpire and it was clear that the ball had hit the ground first. Rohrer ends the over on a high note sending the ball through point region for a boundary employing a cut. Six runs from the over.
================================================================================
DD Over: 12 II Score: 78/4
Trivedi continues. Trivedi's fourth delivery is a slower one. Jayawardene swings it over long off boundary for the first maximum of the Delhi innings. OUT! And Trivedi has his revenge off the sixth delivery as he removes Mahela who is caught by Dravid. He scored 34 (31b, 4X4, 6X1). Mahela was looking to flick this but Dravid took a couple of steps to his right and stretched his arms, managed to take it cleanly. In walks Kedar Jadhav.
================================================================================
DD Over: 11 II Score: 70/3

He follows that with a couple. Rohrer walks across, exposing the stumps and guides the fourth delivery to fine leg region for a boundary.

DD Over: 8 II Score: 48/3
Binny continues. OUT! And Binny gets the prized wicket of David Warner who has been caught by Sachin Baby at covers. He scored 13 (18b, 4X2). It was a slower delivery that bounced a bit more than Warner had anticipated. He was taken aback and ended up giving a catch to extra cover. Ben Rohrer is the new man in the middle. And a loud shout for lbw but umpire turns it down. Just two runs from the over.
================================================================================

DD Over: 5 II Score: 41/2
Tait is back after that prolonged first over. Facing him is Warner. Off the second, he manages to induce an edge but it flies well wide of the slip fielder and goes for a boundary to third man region. He follows that with another boundary through covers. A single off the next brings Jayawardene on strike. Tait drops his fifth delivery short and Mahela pulls it to fine leg region for a boundary. He ends the over with a cracking stroke through point for another four. 17 runs from the over.

DD Over: 3 II Score: 22/2
Shane Watson replaces Shaun Tait. OUT! Watson stirkes! Debutant Muralidharen Gautam flashes at Watson's third delivery and ends up edging it to wicketkeeper Samson. He goes back into the hutch after scoring 2 (3b). That was a length delivery outside off and Gautam reached for it and ended up being caught by the keeper. David Warner is the new man in the middle. A wicket and one run from the over.
================================================================================
DD Over: 2 II Score: 21/1
James Faulkner to share the new ball with Tait. And Sehwag sets the ball rolling with a flicked boundary to midwicket region. Off the third, Sehwag uses the pace of the delivery and superbly places it through covers for another boundary. OUT! And Faulkner has the last laugh as he bowls Sehwag off his fourth! He scored 11 (7b, 4X2). That was a slower one from Faulkner as Sehwag with a high backlift didn't pick it up and went for his shot. The ball after clipping his pad, crashed on the stumps. Debutant Muralidharen Gautam is the new man in the middle. 10 runs from the over.
================================================================================
DD Over: 1 II Score: 11/0
Right. Shaun Tait has the new ball. Facing him is Delhi captain Mahela Jayawardene. Opening the innings with him for the visitors is Virender Sehwag. And off the second delivery, Delhi open their account courtesy a boundary from the bat of Mahela via a pull to deep backward square leg region. The next from Tait is a wide down the leg side. A single off the third brings Sehwag on strike who gets off the mark with a couple. 11 runs from the over that include three extras from wides.
