Pietersen begins onslaught

Hemang Badani into the attack in the 7th over. The team does not have a specialist spinner today, Badani, Badrinath, Venugopal, Yusuf are the part-timers Kaif can go to. Pietersen smashes a six over deep extra cover. Another over deep midwicket. 17 runs off Badani's over.

Gony doesn't fare any better in the 8th over. KP smashes a 87m six - the longest of the night so far. 12 runs off the over. Pietersen on 47*.
