The first change though didn't work as Munaf Patel castled Paine who missed a slog. Pune had slumped to 17 for 3 and a lot depended on Yuvraj Singh, their skipper. But he lasted just two balls and edged Munaf to Rayudu. Four wickets had been lost for one run in the space of seven balls. Robin Uthappa and Mohnish Mishra then took the score past 50.

They wasted 16 deliveries and contributed greatly to Yuvraj's smile turning into a glower.
