End of over 10 (22 runs) - Deccan Chargers 130/0 (25 runs required)

AC Gilchrist    100* (42b 9x4 9x6)      AM Nayar    1-0-22-0
VVS Laxman    22* (18b 3x4)      ST Jayasuriya    2-0-17-0
9.6 Nayar to Gilchrist, SIX, he's done it! Gilchrist has teed off here, he's picked up a short of a length ball and sent it into orbit with a massive swing of the bat, the ball sails over deep midwicket and he's got his 100 off 42 balls, the fastest of the competition, the home team may be Mumbai but the crowd is going wild, they're cheering for this hitting is simply superb
9.6 Nayar to Gilchrist, 1 wide, bowled full and wide outside off stump, Gilchrist chases it but misses, Asad Rauf calls it wide
Can he get 100 with a six? Gilchrist's on 94.
9.5 Nayar to Laxman, 1 run, full ball on middle stump, Laxman nudges the ball towards the leg side for a single
9.4 Nayar to Gilchrist, 1 run, now Gilchirst hits the ball straight past the bowler and Kulkarni runs to his left and makes a fantastic save on the boundary with one hand, he keeps his balance to stay inside the rope
9.3 Nayar to Gilchrist, SIX, the length is full now and Gilchrist launches it off the front foot over extra cover, that was hit flat but the ball screams over the boundary, he moves into the 90s, breath-taking hitting
9.2 Nayar to Gilchrist, SIX, well no one has learnt, you cannot bowl even a fraction short to Gilchrist, Nayar pitches short and Gilchirst dispatches him with the pull over deep backward square leg
9.1 Nayar to Laxman, 1 run, strays on to the pads and Laxman leans across to flick the ball to deep square leg for a single
Nayar comes on to face the music from Gilchrist.
