    9.4 big wicket! Keeper standing up. Henriques goes full on off. Tries to whip it over midwicket, but the ball stays low, goes under the blade, and hits off stump. Kohli looks at his bat, and goes back after a struggling innings 68/1
    11.4 full, looks to swipe this through the offside, and gets a fine tickle. Good catch by Rahul. Punjab have their man! A set batter goes for RCB. This could be a pivotal match-turning spell from Henriques 73/3
    9.5 on a hattrick! Sarfaraz at the hotspot at point, and he dives to pouch the catch. Fullish outside off. Christian throws his hands at this, slices it, and sharp, low catch. 68/2
    19.2 short, outside off, and he has slashed this looking to go down the ground. Goes straight up, and into Sarfaraz's waiting hands at point 157/5
    18.2 sliced away towards cover, and there's a direct hit. That will be out, I think. Fullish length, outside off, and he hit it quite firmly. Had no option but to go, and is caught short by a sharp throw from Sarfaraz Khan 146/4
    19.4 full, and strikes timber. This was too quick for Shahbaz, who had walked across his stumps and was looking to just paddle this around the corner 163/6

    19.5 yorker again and now we have Mohammed Shami on a hat-trick! Garton shuffles across looking for the same region as Shahbaz. He's just reducing the target for Shami to hit, who's spearing them in like ICBMs at the moment. Superb stuff from Shami. If only Punjab had seen a few of these yorkers earlier on when ABD and Maxwell were going strong! 163/7

    10.5 no 100 partnership this time for Punjab Kings! Rahul looks to skip down the wicket and go straight down the wicket. The ball just grips enough to take the outside edge and goes as an easy take for short third 91/1
    15.2 Mayank is gone! Bizarre way to get out, to say the least. Sets himself up for the sweep, and ends up getting it off the under edge. Beaten by the lack of pace on that regulation legbreak. Pops up in the air just to the right of Bharat, and Siraj runs around from short third to complete the catch 114/3
    12.5 tossed up, and he looks for the sweep. Cannot keep it down, and Chahal gets his man. Straight down Padikkal's throat at deep backward square. Just gets it off the toe-end of the bat 99/2
    16.5 length, outside off, and a slower one. Markram looks for that second boundary, but toe-ends it. Christian runs in and completes the catch this time 127/5
    15.5 perfect legbreak! Well, Sarfaraz is no Mike Gatting, but his baffelement is reminiscent of what happened in the 1993 Ashes! Tossed well up, pitches around leg, turns across him and takes the top of off. It's almost as if the batter was never there. You have to feel sorry for Sarfaraz. That would have castled the best of batters in prime form 121/4
    19.1 fuller ball. Dropped at his feet, and they run for the single. Harshal runs in his follow through and underarms this into the stumps. Shahrukh gone! 146/6
