| Kochi Tuskers Kerala innings (20 overs maximum) | R | B | 4s | 6s | SR | |
 | BB McCullum | c Kallis b Unadkat | 1 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 12.50 | |
| 1.4 tame dismissal, short and wide and McCullum slashes at it, there isn't much pace in Unadkat so it doesn't fly away, lands safely in the palms of Jacques Kallis at slip 6/1 |
| M Klinger | c Iqbal Abdulla b Pathan | 29 | 26 | 3 | 0 | 111.53 | |
| 11.5 Klinger holes out, Abdulla's right at the edge of the ropes at deep midwicket, it's tossed up and Klinger accepted the invitation, came down the track and launch it high and handsome but couldn't clear the ropes as Abdulla judged it to perfection and kept his balance to take it inches inside the boundary 81/3 |
| PA Patel† | c Bhatia b Unadkat | 21 | 16 | 4 | 0 | 131.25 | |
| 5.2 Rajat Bhatia holds his nerve to take a good catch, Unadkat dropped short and Parthiv appeared to have made his mind up. He's thrown his wicket away here, came down the track and again tried to swing it over midwicket, miscued it and Bhatia ran back a few paces and clasped it close to his chest on the third attempt 30/2 |
| DPMD Jayawardene* | run out (Ladda/Kallis) | 55 | 41 | 2 | 2 | 134.14 | |
| 18.6 Kallis to Hodge, run-out, pitched up and Hodge strikes it clean over the bowler's head but there is protection, long-off runs across, picks it up and returns a good throw to the non-striker's end as Mahela runs back for the second, Kallis collects and takes down the stumps to find him short despite the dive. It seemed as though it was his forearm that made contact with the stumps but he had the ball in his hand, so that's fine. 134/5 |
| RA Jadeja | c Pathan b Bhatia | 8 | 11 | 1 | 0 | 72.72 | |
| 14.4 not the slower one, bowled at normal pace, came onto Jadeja a little quicker, he had shaped up for the slog-sweep and couldn't connect well, got a top edge and Yusuf made no mistake standing at square leg 96/4 |
| BJ Hodge | not out | 35 | 19 | 3 | 2 | 184.21 | |

| JH Kallis | b Gomez | 45 | 41 | 5 | 0 | 109.75 | |
| 10.2 bowled'im! Was the slower legcutter, Kallis drove at that inside the line, tried to play it past extra cover, it cut away to beat the bat and peg back the off stump, a timely breakthrough for Kochi 69/1 |
| EJG Morgan | run out (†Patel/Vinay Kumar) | 66 | 51 | 8 | 2 | 129.41 | |
| 18.4 from Vinay Kumar, run-out, another good delivery from Vinay, low full toss that Morgan couldn't do much against, gets to the keeper as he misses it on the swing and Yusuf has already run down the pitch to take strike next ball, by the time Morgan realises that it's too late and he sacrifices his wicket as Parthiv returns the ball to the bowler 132/4 |
| G Gambhir* | c Jayawardene b Gomez | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0.00 | |
| 10.3 gone first ball! The tide is turning, good length and Gambhir stepped away to play his favourite shot first ball, made room to clear extra cover but couldn't get the elevation he needed, played it straight into the hands of Mahela, Gomez is on a hat-trick 69/2 |
| MK Tiwary | c McCullum b Vinay Kumar | 1 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 14.28 | |
| 13.6 Tiwary has succumed, short ball on the off and he went for the pull, came off the bottom of the bat and McCullum at midwicket took it easily 97/3 |
| YK Pathan | c Jayawardene b Vinay Kumar | 17 | 13 | 2 | 0 | 130.76 | |
| 18.5 Yusuf goes and it lookes beyond them now, full outside off and it's smashed hard but straight to Mahela who is positioned perfectly at extra cover, just inside the circle 132/5 |
| MV Boucher† | b Singh | 5 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 125.00 | |
| 19.6 bowled'im, Kochi finish on a high as RP sends back Boucher who swings wildly but finds his off stump pegged back 139/7 |
| B Lee | run out (Jadeja/†Patel) | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 50.00 | |
| 19.4 from Singh, pitched up to Lee, he drives it wide of long-off for a couple of runs, there's an appeal for a run-out but the throw was a wide one. Parthiv dived to take off the bails and it was enough to find Lee short, if only marginally. It is a run-out. 138/6 |
