shot, four, end of the match! That is an excellent shot under pressure from Das and he has been dispatched to mid-wicket for a four.

in the air, and caught! Pathan tried to slog sweep it, top edged it away and du Plessis takes a simple catch! Match is alive despite the obvious possibility of one stroke finishing it.

tossed up, wanted to slog it away, missed completely! Dot!

that is a leg-spinner, a tad shorter and Pathan read it well, cuts it and goes to the deep point region where Yo Mahes does a good job with the fielding but cannot prevent two.

yorker, drilled to long-on and it is the end of Bravo's spell, a bitter-sweet last over.

pitched up outside the off stump, tries to get under it, gets a bit of an edge, rolls to long-off and they are able to come back for the second because of the mistimed stroke.

full-toss, outside the off stump and drilled to the covers for a single

pitched up, slower, outside the off stump and he tries to hit it over the extra-cover, mistimed but they come back for the second. Pathan wanted the third too...

full-toss and on pads, the new batsman, Das, puts him away to the place it needed to be, flicked to fine-leg for a four!

gone, lbw! Pitched right up, slower, missed that slog shot did Gambhir and it hits the pads, loud shot and the umpire upholds the appeal, rightly so as well.

short ball, pulled really well by the batsman, but the field is on the fence on the leg side, it goes straight to deep mid-wicket and they take a single. Six off the over.

defends on the front foot, opens the face of the bat and easily rotates the strike.

Gambhir tries to mow it across the line and there was a huge appeal there for an lbw. It seemed to be going down the leg-side, or so I think anyway.

short ball, goes on to the back foot, driven to the long-on fielder for a single

short, cut away, gets an outside edge and it goes flying on the bounce to Michael Hussey at short third-man, they are still through

quicker, carrom ball from Ashwin, Pathan sees it to his bat, taps it to the off side for a single

flicks it away easily for a single, end of Morkel's four overs.

pitched up on the pads, tapped gently to the mid-wicket region for a quick single.

pitched right up, on the front foot, defended, inside edge for a single

on the middle, dabbed away gently to mid-on and they call each other for a second. The bowler had to run for this one and the batsmen are able to make it in time.

drifts on his pads, probably deliberately to cramp him for room, played away to the leg side for a single

flicked away and the slower one seems to have beaten him, goes into the hands of the short square-leg fielder, three down and an outside hope of a twist in the tale.
