India Maharajas vs World Giants Highlights: Naman Ojha century undone by Imran Tahir

Kaif joins attack

Naman Ojha plundered 14 runs from Hoggard's first over, goes after him again as the English pacer is brought back to bowl the 7th. Ending the over with a four and a six. And Ojha keeps attacking against Tahir too. Kaif playing the wait and watch role for now.

Albie Morkel into the attack in the 9th over. Kaif pushes Naman Ojha for a single even though he clearly calls for no run. And then Kaif launches a six over deep midwicket - his first six.

IND 73/2 after 9

Naman Ojha (27*) drives Indian innings

Imran Tahir bowls the 5th over, and goes for runs aplenty. Both Ojha and Kaif crack boundaries off him. Morkel drags things back again. Hoggard drops a tough catch at short fine leg.

Meanwhile, it's literal smoking at the ground in Oman! 

Sidebottom, Morkel tie Maharajas in knots

Kaif and Naman Ojha try to rebuild the innings with singles - Morne Morkel bowls a tight over. Just 1 run off the 3rd over - with Morkel almost managing to get Naman to chop one on to his stumps. 

Sidebottom continues getting venomous swing, cuts Kaif in half with an inswinger. Naman Ojha finally breaks the barren spell, carting one over the off side infield for four.

Badrinath - who had a bit of a horror show last day with 3 missed catches (despite brave efforts) and a run out - is in at 3.
