Kingsmead, Durban, Oct 22, 2012
Batting: Yorkshire
| Over No. | Event Type | Event | Team Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.2 | FOUR | Ashwin to Gale, FOUR, slightly short and Gale makes Ashwin pay. Rocks back and cuts fiercely past point | 10/0 |
| 2.5 | FOUR | Ashwin to Lyth, FOUR, nice shot. Makes room and belts it over cover. Really hit that very hard and cleared the man in the ring easily | 15/0 |
| 3 | FOUR | Ashwin to Lyth, FOUR, replays prove to be inconclusive after MS pulled it back with a slide. His right elbow was very close to the ad hoardings and the third ump reckoned it was a boundary. Too close to call and the tv ump went in favor of the batsman | 19/0 |
| 3.3 | SIX | Bollinger to Gale, SIX, great pull shot. Perhaps Gale was waiting for the short ball I guess - rocks back and thumps it way into the stands at deep sxquare leg | 27/0 |
| 4.2 | SIX | Hilfenhaus to Gale, SIX, that's a fine riposte from Gale. Chips out, makes room and carves it over square third man for a fab six. Timed that really well | 34/0 |
| 5.1 | OUT | Albie Morkel to Gale, out Caught by Bollinger at mid off!! That's the end of Gale. Tried one shot too many and miscued it straight up in the air after giving the charge to Albie Morkel. Wanted to go leg-side, but it took the outer half of the bat. Gale c Bollinger b Albie Morkel 23(22) [4s-1 6s-2] | 35/1 |
| 6.1 | OUT | Hilfenhaus to Lyth, out Caught by Vijay at mid off!! Very similar dismissal to Gale's. Gave the charge and tried to flat-bat it, hit it straight up in the air. An easier way to describe this wicket - Ctrl C Gale's description and Ctrl V here. Lyth c Vijay b Hilfenhaus 11(11) [4s-2] | 36/2 |
| 6.3 | FOUR | Hilfenhaus to J Root, FOUR, that's a good shot. Wide and to the left of mid on. J Root timing the on-drive beautifully. One hand came off the bat as he played that, but that didn't stop the boundary | 40/2 |
| 8 | OUT | Albie Morkel to J Root, out Caught by Saha!! J Root walks. Harmless leg-side delivery, J Root just gloved it and Saha went to his left and took a good catch. Yorkshire lose their third. J Root c Saha b Albie Morkel 6(11) [4s-1] | 43/3 |
| 10.2 | FOUR | Raina to Ballance, FOUR, fine inside out hit. Chipped out and went over cover, one bounce over the ropes | 56/3 |
| 11 | FOUR | Raina to David Miller, FOUR, reverse swept between Bollinger and Ashwin who are at point and short third respectively. Bisected them beautifully | 63/3 |
| 12.1 | SIX | Ravindra Jadeja to David Miller, SIX, first ball from Ravindra Jadeja and David Miller goes over long off for a six. Looked like a mishit, but the sliced lofted hit went all the way and over the man's head | 73/3 |
| 12.4 | SIX | Ravindra Jadeja to Ballance, SIX, New balls please! Slog-swept over deep mid wicket, onto the roof and out. 101 metres was the distance | 80/3 |
| 14.5 | OTHER | Dhoni to David Miller, wide, the partnership between David Miller and Ballance is now 50 and that comes with a wide - wayward again from Dhoni who shakes his head | 93/3 |
| 16.4 | SIX | Dhoni to Ballance, SIX, awesome hit. Makes room and slaps it flat over sweeper cover. The fielder was just a spectator | 113/3 |
| 16.5 | SIX | Dhoni to Ballance, SIX, that should end the Dhoni experiment. Ballance goes on his knees and slog-sweeps it over deep square leg. That's back to back sixes for Ballance | 119/3 |
| 17.2 | OUT | Bollinger to David Miller, out Caught by Ashwin!! Hit hard and straight to cover. Ashwin felt that, but caught it well. David Miller c Ashwin b Bollinger 28(26) [4s-1 6s-1] | 121/4 |
| 18.2 | SIX | Hilfenhaus to Ballance, SIX, that's fifty for Ballance. Slower short ball, Ballance moves outside leg and pulls flat over the ropes at deep backward square leg | 129/4 |
| 18.4 | SIX | Hilfenhaus to Ballance, SIX, thumped over deep cover. Full toss outside off, Ballance made room and smashed it out of sight | 135/4 |
| 19.1 | OUT | Bollinger to Adil Rashid, out Ballance Run Out!! Ballance is caught just short despite a dive. Saha hitting the stumps and Tucker doesn't even need the third ump. Ballance run out (Saha) 58(38) [4s-1 6s-5] | 137/5 |
| 20 | OUT | Bollinger to D Hodgson, out Caught by du Plessis!! Lifted straight to the fielder at mid off. D Hodgson wanted to go over the man, but failed to do so. D Hodgson c du Plessis b Bollinger 1(4) | 140/6 |
Batting: Chennai Super Kings
| Over No. | Event Type | Event | Team Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.2 | OUT | Patterson to du Plessis, out Caught by Rafiq at mid off!! Poor stroke and du Plessis is gone. Too early to try an aggressive shot, chipped out and went for the big hit, off the top edge and caught by Rafiq. du Plessis c Rafiq b Patterson 1(4) | 3/1 |
| 2.2 | FOUR | Iain Wardlaw to Vijay, FOUR, ugly hoick and it goes away to the fence. Vijay giving the charge and getting away with an inside edge past leg-stump | 8/1 |
| 3 | FOUR | Iain Wardlaw to Vijay, FOUR, short ball and that has been pulled away - rolled his wrists and got it away down to deep backward square leg - a handy boundary | 16/1 |
| 4 | SIX | Patterson to Raina, SIX, finally he nails one. Raina backs away and goes through with the lofted shot - over long off | 26/1 |
| 4.2 | OUT | Hannon-Dalby to Vijay, out Caught by Lyth at deep square leg!! Flicked in the air and straight to the fielder at deep square. Vijay went for his patented leg-side hoick, but didn't get under the ball. Vijay c Lyth b Hannon-Dalby 13(12) [4s-2] | 26/2 |
| 6 | FOUR | J Root to Raina, FOUR, Raina gets forward and reaches out to a low full toss, lifts it over cover - that will be another boundary | 37/2 |
| 7.5 | FOUR | Rafiq to Badrinath, FOUR, clean slog-sweep! Gets down and gets it over mid wicket | 50/2 |
| 10.1 | FOUR | Adil Rashid to Badrinath, FOUR, terrific effort from Patterson, ran all the way to his left at deep point, dived and parried it over the ropes failing to pull it back in. Badrinath made room and scythed it | 68/2 |
| 11.1 | OUT | Hannon-Dalby to Raina, out Caught by David Miller!! Raina completely miscued that - one hand came off the bat handle as he tried to go over cover and Miller runs in from sweeper cover to take it. Raina c David Miller b Hannon-Dalby 31(30) [4s-1 6s-1] | 74/3 |
| 13.2 | FOUR | Hannon-Dalby to Badrinath, FOUR, slower delivery on the stumps and Badrinath chips out, before going ram-rod straight back over the bowler. The Chennai dug-out are pleased | 88/3 |
| 13.3 | FOUR | Hannon-Dalby to Badrinath, FOUR, back to back fours. Third man was up and Badrinath dabbed it wide of him. Gale wears a worried look | 92/3 |
| 14.5 | SIX | Adil Rashid to Dhoni, SIX, huge! Very huge! Takes it on the full after stepping out and nearly hits the electronic scoreboard at the deep mid wicket fence | 106/3 |
| 15.4 | SIX | Rafiq to Dhoni, SIX, very easy! Just got forward and then short-arm jabbed it over long on. Went a long way too | 115/3 |
| 16.2 | OUT | Iain Wardlaw to Badrinath, out Bowled!! Cleaned up. Badrinath trying for a cute paddle and missing a full, fast off-stump ball. Badrinath b Iain Wardlaw 47(38) [4s-4] | 117/4 |

| 18 | FOUR | Patterson to Albie Morkel, FOUR, not that short, but Albie Morkel made his own room and pulled past a diving mid wicket. That should take Chennai even closer | 136/5 |
| 18.3 | FOUR | Iain Wardlaw to Dhoni, FOUR, Scores level! Full and on the pads, whipped away - a mini helicopter as Dhoni twirls his bat after playing that. Down to the deep mid wicket fence | 140/5 |
| 18.5 | OUT | Iain Wardlaw to Dhoni, out Bowled!! Extravagant from Dhoni and he misses his helicopter shot. Tailing in again and the ball knocks back the stumps. Dhoni has a smile as he walks off. Raina too welcomes him with one in the dug-out Dhoni b Iain Wardlaw 31(23) [4s-2 6s-2] | 140/6 |
