    1.5 inswinging yorker nabs Taylor lbw! On the initial shot, this looks like a very marginal decision. He's hit on the toe on what is essentially a low full toss swinging in. Impact is marginally in line with leg stump. But with the movement, it may have been missing leg stump. The appeal goes up from Karan KC and umpire Ahmed Shah Pakteen from Afghanistan sends Taylor on his way. Assuming the trajectory on a full toss though, it may be a fair call. 6/1

    27.4 Cleans him up and it is Modani, the anchor, who departs! That's what accuracy does. Rajbanshi goes slower and keeps it on the stumps. Modani sees it up and looks for a hard sweep. But he doesn't account for the pace and is through the shot early. Misses and sees his middle stump pegged back. 94/6
    1.6 Mukkamalla edges to slip for a golden duck! Gem of a delivery on the fourth stump channel gets Mukkamalla prodding forward. Healthy edge carries low to Aarif Sheikh at first slip who juggles this initially but holds onto it in his lap while falling backwards. 6/2
    7.5 back of a length on sixth stump, could've been left alone but Jones pushes at this with very hard hands and it clips the shoulder of the bat. Unlike the chance earlier in the over to Bhurtel at gully which came flat and hard, this one balloons high in the air floating gently to his right and he shuffles five paces to his right to clutch on. 14/3
    9.2 Karan KC is on fire! Shuffles across his stumps fishing at a ball swinging away on seventh stump and pokes at a ball he could have left alone. The movement finds the outside edge and flies low to Aarif Sheikh at first slip, who tumbles to his right taking this in front of his right shin. 18/4
    21.3 Edged and taken exceptionally at first slip! Pushes the off-break quicker just outside off. Gajanand pokes at it tentatively, only to get a thick outside edge. The ball hits the keeper's pads and flies to the left of the first slip, who flings to his left and plucks out a two-handed stunner. The centurion from last game is gone and Airee it is who strikes. 65/5

    36.4 another ugly shot by Nisarg, this time he can't get away with it. Short and wide on eighth stump, Nisarg tries to pull this eyeing up the short boundary on the leg side rather than going to cut this with the ball angled far outside off and a thin edge is snapped up by the keeper Aasif Sheikh reaching high to his right. 128/7
    43.2 full and slanted across fifth stump, Jessy Singh tries to flick this across the line working it back into midwicket but instead gets a leading edge that floats to the right of the fielder at extra cover Rohit Paudel who shuffles to his right and takes a catch while tumbling to the ground. 170/8
    48.4 yorker cleans up Netravalkar. Full and straight on the stumps, backs away from leg stump and goes to drive and misses with the off stump cartwheeling. 207/9
    48.6 yorker again! Phillip plays across the line and misses to be struck on the toe. Hit in front of middle and leg and the appeal goes up. Was this hitting the stumps or missing leg stump? Ahmed Shah Pakteen feels it was going to hit leg stump. 207/10

    16.2 flighted on a fullish length on fourth stump, Bhurtel has to reach a long way forward trying to sweep this and can't keep it down as a top edge is produced that swirls high above the pitch. Kenjige calls off Jessy Singh coming over from midwicket to take the catch himself. 74/2
    4.6 Loud, loud appeal and the umpire raises his finger! Was the angle taking the ball down leg though? I think it was, on first glance. Around the wicket, he gets the ball to shape back into Sheikh. He plays all around it and is caught in front. The question, though, stands if the angle would have taken the ball past the leg stump. Sheikh was down the track and was hit high on the thigh pad. I feel he is a little unlucky there. 25/1

    26.1 soft dismissal chipping to mid-off. Flighted full on off stump by Nisarg, Paudel steps away from leg stump to drive inside out in the air trying to clear Jessy Singh in the ring at mid-off but miscues it and it floats up gently to Jessy who dives forward to pluck this at ankle height. 112/3
    32.2 Nailed, but straight down long-off's throat! Oh, has the tide turned again? Innocuous tossed up delivery outside off. Malla gets under it and gets it off the middle of the blade. But he couldn't find the elevation and Gajanand at long-off juggled but importantly, held on 137/4
