Over 49.6 SL Malinga to MS Dhoni, 3 runs, this is not quite the yorker and MSD manages to smack it over extra covers. It looks good for a boundary but there is a diving stop and the fielder pulls the ball a little far away and that allows MSD and Yadav to complete the third run! The match ends in a dramatic tie with that and the two teams share a couple of points each!!
