India innings (50 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
	V Sehwag	lbw b Wahab Riaz	38	32	25	9	0	152.00
	5.5 141.5 kph, Taufel has given Sehwag out and he's asked for a review against the lbw decision immediately. He didn't even check with Tendulkar. Brilliant decision from Taufel. That ball pitched just in line with leg stump, short of a length, and skidded on to Sehwag, beating the batsman's attempted flick off the back foot. That ball didn't bounce as much as Sehwag thought it would. He was on his toes playing the shot. The only doubt was whether it pitched in line, it did. Pakistan are ecstatic. 48/1
	SR Tendulkar	c Shahid Afridi b Saeed Ajmal	85	160	115	11	0	73.91
	36.6 87.0 kph, finally, they've held one! Sachin falls. And guess who's there to take the catch? Afridi drops to his left to hold onto a stinging drive at short extra cover. 'If you want the job done right, then do it yourself,' he's thinking. Possibly. Relief flows visibly over the Pakistanis as they gather at the fall of the wicket. Plenty of smiles out there now 187/5
	G Gambhir	st †Kamran Akmal b Mohammad Hafeez	27	55	32	2	0	84.37
	18.5 90.3 kph, Lovely stuff from Hafeez! Beaten in flight and stumped! Gambhir went down the track but couldn't reach the pitch of the ball. Panic. He then tried to stab the ball away but is now beaten by the turn. More panic. The ball has gone past him and he looks back, trying to get back but no luck. Kamran whips off the bails. India two down. 116/2
	V Kohli	c Umar Akmal b Wahab Riaz	9	20	21	0	0	42.85
	25.2 139.4 kph, Pakistan have taken a catch! Wahab strikes again! Caught at backward point. It landed on a length around off and angled away, Virat played a strange shot as if he was surprised by how it seamed away - Wahab hardly gets the ball to bend in - and had a weak waft at it. He just stabbed at it. Edge and pouched! 141/3
	Yuvraj Singh	b Wahab Riaz	0	1	1	0	0	0.00
	25.3 146.2 kph, Crashing full swinging delivery! Sensational moment! Wahab, who was kept in this game instead of Shoaib, has done the job. What a little big moment. Pakistan huddle is on. It was full, it was pacy and it swung in beautifully past the hurried stab and crashed into the stumps. Clatter! It didn't land at all. He just took the pitch out of the equation 141/4
	MS Dhoni*†	lbw b Wahab Riaz	25	64	42	2	0	59.52
	41.4 143.7 kph, well, that's one way to take the faulty catching out of the equation! Dhoni is rapped on the pad as he shuffles to off, huge appeal and Taufel has given him out! Dhoni wants a review though ... but it's not going to help, three reds as it pitches and hits him in line, definitely hitting the stumps and that's gone. India's hopes of making a defendable total are beginning to evaporate here 205/6
	SK Raina	not out	36	69	39	3	0	92.30
	Harbhajan Singh	st †Kamran Akmal b Saeed Ajmal	12	28	15	2	0	80.00
	46.4 91.8 kph, doosra, missed and stumped! Harbhajan jumped down the wicket and aimed for the straight boundary, but ran straight past the ball and is easily stumped by several metres. Ajmal the clear winner in the battle between the two offspinners 236/7
	Z Khan	c †Kamran Akmal b Wahab Riaz	9	14	10	1	0	90.00
	49.2 137.9 kph, gone! Caught behind, it was only a matter of time. Another enormous heave, this time he does lay bat on ball but it's a thin edge and safely pouched by Kamran. Five wickets for Wahab Riaz in a World Cup semi-final! 256/8
	A Nehra	run out (Wahab Riaz/†Kamran Akmal)	1	1	2	0	0	50.00
	49.5 from Wahab Riaz, Nehra's been watching too much of Zaheer! A big swing, nowhere near it ... but Raina calls him through for one! Kamran throws to Riaz, who runs back and takes the bails off, Nehra doesn't bother to dive, easily run out 258/9

	Pakistan innings (target: 261 runs from 50 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
	Kamran Akmal†	c Yuvraj Singh b Khan	19	40	21	3	0	90.47
	8.6 123.9 kph, Done in by the slower one. And also done by his own favourite square drive. It was full and outside off stump, Kamran couldn't resist the temptation and reached out for his square drive. But he ended up slicing it straight to point. 44/1
	Mohammad Hafeez	c †Dhoni b Patel	43	66	59	7	0	72.88
	15.3 125.6 kph, What was Hafeez thinking? Again, yet again, a lovely 30 -40 and he has combusted. He went for a paddle sweep, yeah a paddle sweep, to a full delivery outside off stump and edged it to Dhoni. Oh dear. Pressure? or over confidence? 70/2
	Asad Shafiq	b Yuvraj Singh	30	61	39	2	0	76.92
	23.5 75.3 kph, whoops! Shafiq's gone. Too straight and a touch too full to cut, Shafiq went back and tried to, he missed and the ball skidded straight past him and hit middle stump, the Indians get into a huddle. He was cramped for room and short of time to play that shot 103/3
	Younis Khan	c Raina b Yuvraj Singh	13	44	32	0	0	40.62
	25.4 78.8 kph, caught at cover! A slow ball on a good length outside off, inviting Younis forward and into the drive. He takes the bait and spoons the ball towards Raina who leaps and takes the catch at head height. India are back in this ... 106/4
	Misbah-ul-Haq	c Kohli b Khan	56	134	76	5	1	73.68
	49.5 117.0 kph, there's the game! Misbah swings, the ball goes miles up in the air and lands safely in Kohli's hands at long-on 231/10
	Umar Akmal	b Harbhajan Singh	29	35	24	1	2	120.83
	33.1 86.4 kph, bowled 'im! Bhajji strikes straight away, it wasn't the doosra - more of an arm ball - but Umar played it horribly, neither forward nor back and swishing hopefully through the line of the ball. It nipped past the bat and clattered into the off stump 142/5
	Abdul Razzaq	b Patel	3	12	9	0	0	33.33
	36.2 116.2 kph, gone! Bowled! Munaf sends down a slower ball, another legcutter, and Razzaq plays down completely the wrong line to lose his off stump. India surge ahead with that wicket, they've got control now. 150/6
	Shahid Afridi*	c Sehwag b Harbhajan Singh	19	25	17	1	0	111.76
	41.5 98.6 kph, gone! Harbhajan sends down a high full toss, Afridi attempts to smash it baseball-style down the ground but the ball takes the top edge and swirls up for cover to take an easy catch. The captain departs, he had to go for his shots but couldn't execute that one too well. This is India's game now 184/7
	Wahab Riaz	c Tendulkar b Nehra	8	16	14	1	0	57.14
	44.5 127.4 kph, there's another one! Full and straight, Riaz swings mightily across the line but all he can do is send the ball straight up in the air, an easy catch for Tendulkar at cover. India are just two wickets away from a World Cup final. Pakistan are still alive, but only just. The pressure really told on Riaz there, all those dot balls made him feel as though he absolutely had to hit the boundary 199/8
	Umar Gul	lbw b Nehra	2	9	3	0	0	66.66
	46.1 130.4 kph, gone! Full, swinging, and Gul is struck flush on the foot as he swipes across the line. He asks for a review but to no avail, that's stone dead. Gul's unhappy day comes to an end. India are just one wicket away from a dream final 208/9

	New Zealand innings (50 overs maximum)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
	MJ Guptill	b Malinga	39	65	3	0	60.00
	21.3 141.1 kph, unplayable! A searing inswinging yorker bursts through Guptill and makes a mess of the stumps. He may well have been expecting that after watching the first two deliveries, but it didn't appear to make much difference. He was in too, but that was just too good. The slinger strikes! 84/3
	BB McCullum†	b Herath	13	21	1	1	61.90
	7.1 85.2 kph, gone now! The heave-ho sweep which worked so well last over is missed as Herath slips in quicker ball under the bat. Clips off stump and Herath punches the air! 32/1
	JD Ryder	c †Sangakkara b Muralitharan	19	34	2	0	55.88
	18.3 82.6 kph, gone this time! Ryder was lining up a similar shot, looking to power it away through the off side. A touch of extra bounce on the delivery, it fairly took off outside off, and a thin edge nestles safely in Sangakkara's gloves. Sri Lanka are ecstatic, they've got this match by the scruff of the neck now 69/2
	LRPL Taylor	c Tharanga b Mendis	36	55	1	0	65.45
	39.1 88.8 kph, Taylor's struggle ends. You felt something was coming. In the end it's a poor delivery, dragged short that Taylor pulled straight down the throat of deep midwicket. Normally you'd back Taylor to clear that boundary but he's not quite found his range today 161/4
	SB Styris	lbw b Muralitharan	57	77	5	0	74.02
	46.6 86.3 kph, on his last delivery in Sri Lanka Murali strikes! Key wicket as well! Styris gets deep into his crease to work to leg, missed it and was trapped in front. Styris reviews but it's clipping leg stump. What a wonderful, who-writes-your-scripts? exit from his home stage! Massive cheer from the crowd as the decision is finally confirmed! 213/7
	KS Williamson	lbw b Malinga	22	16	3	0	137.50
	43.3 143.4 kph, Malinga works the magic again! Full, swinging in and struck bang in front! The sort of lbw you would walk from. Absolutely plumb. Very good little innings that and now the power hitters can come in. 192/5
	NL McCullum	c †Sangakkara b Malinga	9	9	0	1	100.00
	45.1 118.0 kph, Malinga is such a demon at the end of an innings. Brilliant variations! McCullum stepped down looking to heave to leg, slight slower ball meant he was through the shot too early and found a faint top edge 204/6
	JDP Oram	c Jayawardene b Dilshan	7	9	1	0	77.77
	47.4 91.9 kph, gone this time! Oram had to try something, ended up heaving high towards long-on who jogged in a few yards off the rope, steadied himself and held the chance. New Zealand's chances of posting something competitive are sliding away 215/8
	DL Vettori*	not out	3	3	0	0	100.00
	TG Southee	c †Sangakkara b Mendis	0	3	0	0	0.00
	48.3 92.3 kph, Southee gone now, things sliding away in a hurry. Spun away again and Southee was very tentative, prodding at the ball, faint outside edge and Sangakkara does the rest 217/9
	AJ McKay	b Mendis	0	2	0	0	0.00
	48.5 91.4 kph, all over in a heap for New Zealand. Innings end with a four for four collapse as McKay prods hopelessly and misses. Murali waves his cap to the crowds as he leads Sri Lanka off, they'll hope not to see him later! 217/10

	18.3 to Ryder, 82.6 kph, gone this time! Ryder was lining up a similar shot, looking to power it away through the off side. A touch of extra bounce on the delivery, it fairly took off outside off, and a thin edge nestles safely in Sangakkara's gloves. Sri Lanka are ecstatic, they've got this match by the scruff of the neck now 69/2 46.6 to Styris, 86.3 kph, on his last delivery in Sri Lanka Murali strikes! Key wicket as well! Styris gets deep into his crease to work to leg, missed it and was trapped in front. Styris reviews but it's clipping leg stump. What a wonderful, who-writes-your-scripts? exit from his home stage! Massive cheer from the crowd as the decision is finally confirmed! 213/7
	TM Dilshan	5	0	22	1	4.40	(1w)
	47.4 to Oram, 91.9 kph, gone this time! Oram had to try something, ended up heaving high towards long-on who jogged in a few yards off the rope, steadied himself and held the chance. New Zealand's chances of posting something competitive are sliding away 215/8

	7.2 136.7 kph, Ryder take a bow! Even fat men can fly says George Binoy! This Kiwi sure can fly. Was that Jesse Ryder or Jesse Owens? Here's what happened - it was a short ball outside off, enough width and room for Tharanga in his current form to flay at. Enough room for him to try and go aerial. Ryder was lurking at point. He moved quickly to his left, took off with as much grace as he is capable of and landed with a resounding thud. In the meantime, he caught the ball. And then he stood up with arms aloft, menacing beard and frown in place, like a WWE superstar. What a moment! 40/1
	TM Dilshan	c Ryder b Southee	73	93	10	1	78.49
	32.4 135.0 kph, finally New Zealand break through! Dilshan was looking to end this in a hurry, slashing at a length delivery to give Ryder an easy catch. It's probably come too late for his team, but that'll give some consolation at least 160/2
	KC Sangakkara*†	c Styris b McKay	54	79	7	1	68.35
	36.2 136.9 kph, massive wicket this, Sangakkara holes out to third man, the party comes to a halt in Colombo, it was a short ball just outside off, Sangakkara uppercuts it, but he can only find third man, anyone else thinking of the SA-NZ quarter-final? 169/4
	DPMD Jayawardene	lbw b Vettori	1	3	0	0	33.33
	33.1 87.0 kph, well, well. Stunned silence in the crowds as Jayawardene is given out lbw. He popped forward to a straight delivery, played around a straight ball and was struck in front. Decent stride and a review but the ball is hitting! 161/3

	LPC Silva	b Southee	13	25	2	0	52.00
	42.2 135.1 kph, bowled him, the crowd silenced once more, Silva is cleaned up by Southee, these New Zealand chaps never know when they are beaten, it was a short of length ball well outside off, Silva chased after it, his attempted cut ends in a bottom-edge that drags the ball back on to the leg stump, New Zealand can't stop grinning, they are enjoying themselves out there 185/5
