- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR21.4 A long hop gets a wicket. Butt could have hit it anywhere, he went for the pull shot but hit it straight to Raina at midwicket. 90/139.6 length delivery well outside off stump, Malik tried to thrash it over the bowler's head but edges it to third man 219/140.6 No one drops this time and Younis falls after an impressive entertaining knock. He went down on his knee to play the slog sweep - the shot that got him so many runs in the kitply final- but edges it high towards mid-off but Raina ran across from the straightish midwicket position to take a good catch. 223/245.3 Yousuf's cameo ends. Run out. Yousuf paddles a full delivery outside off to RP at short fine leg, the throw comes in to Praveen who takes it well in front of the stumps, turns around and lunges to break the stumps. 261/348.5 lands it full, on the middle stump line and Afridi tried to swing it to long-on but got a thick outside edge and Dhoni pouches it 290/4Extras7 (b 1, lb 1, w 5)TOTAL299/4 (50 Overs, RR: 5.98)Fall of wickets: 1-90 (Salman Butt, 21.4 ov), 1-219* (Shoaib Malik, retired not out ), 2-223 (Younis Khan, 40.6 ov), 3-261 (Mohammad Yousuf, 45.3 ov), 4-290 (Shahid Afridi, 48.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 Wow! What a stunner from Misbah at backward point. Supremely athletic effort from the acting captain. Gambhir had flashed a short-of-length delivery to left of Misbah who flew, his left-arm outstretched and plucked it like a mythical creature. A Youtube moment. 12/130.4 holes out to long-off. He came down the track and ended up slicing it high and Younis got under it, lunged forward to take the catch. But what a smashing knock this has been. Started off carefully, got his eye in before exploding merrily 231/327.1 Raina misses out on the hundred. He punches a back-of-length delivery straight to Fawad Alam at extra cover. But it has been an wonderful innings. Great timing. 210/241.4 holes out to deep midwicket. He wanted to finish it off in style but has perished. He moved outside leg, Tanvir banged it short and Yuvraj topedged his pull to Butt. Out for 48. 294/4Extras15 (b 1, lb 6, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL301/4 (42.1 Overs, RR: 7.13)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Gautam Gambhir, 2.3 ov), 2-210 (Suresh Raina, 27.1 ov), 3-231 (Virender Sehwag, 30.4 ov), 4-294 (Yuvraj Singh, 41.4 ov)
