- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.5 trapped in front of middle and off! Half-tracker outside off and holds its line. Too quick for Rahul, and the ball stays low too, as the batsman misses the leg-side whip. Goes under his bat, and hits his front leg. An easy call for the umpire 53/110.2 soft! Back of a length outside off, and enough width to free his arms. But Mayank tries to play a deft shot, and cuts it straight to point. He'll be disappointed 83/217.4 think I jinxed him, Nair has hoicked this straight to deep midwicket, but this has been a good support hand. Bhuvi bowled this knuckleball at length outside off, Nair fetched it and tried to clear the longest boundary, picked out Dhawan. 168/3Extras8 (lb 5, w 3)TOTAL193/3 (20 Overs, RR: 9.65)Fall of wickets: 1-53 (KL Rahul, 7.5 ov), 2-83 (Mayank Agarwal, 10.2 ov), 3-168 (Karun Nair, 17.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.5 clips off stump! Sharma has the final laugh. Good length on off stump, and straight as an arrow. Saha tried the pull this square, but the ball stays low, and the delivery crashes into side of off stump 14/10.5 good length on off, and gets big on Dhawan. He tries to cut but the ball came in sharply. Cramped for space, and the ball hits his left elbow. That hurt! Physio time. The way Dhawan reacted, looked pretty painful. He's retiring hurt. 214.2 holes out to long off. Stepped out and looked to loft over long off but ended up slicing it, which meant there was no timing. Skewed it high in the air, Finch took a comfortable catch. The knuckleball meant Williamson didn't have any pace to work with. 113/34.6 back of the hand slower ball! Chopped on this time. Good length on off, and he tries to muscle this towards cover. Takes the inside edge, and ricochets into his leg stump. Mohit's second wicket 37/216.4 how high? Very, very high but he's only hoicked this as far as deep midwicket, who was at least 20 yards in. Hooda had to go from ball one, can't blame him there. Another knuckleball has given Tye a wicket. 133/4Extras13 (lb 2, nb 1, w 10)TOTAL178/4 (20 Overs, RR: 8.9)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Wriddhiman Saha, 1.5 ov), 2-37 (Yusuf Pathan, 4.6 ov), 3-113 (Kane Williamson, 14.2 ov), 4-133 (Deepak Hooda, 16.4 ov)
