    9.2 Stumped off a wide and the keeper redeems himself! Fuller down leg, Guptill loses his balance looking for a clip. The keeper moves to his left nicely, collects the ball cleanly and whips the bails off in a jiffy. Guptill was well short. 76/2
    2.1 Has van der Merwe hung onto a stunner right at the edge of the deep midwicket fence?. Very close. The third umpire has been called for. Lots of replays, and finally the third umpire sends Deyal on his way. Mayers gets it short outside off as the ball just sits up nicely. But I suspect, Deyal was through his pull a bit too and couldn't get the elevation. He was also hitting to the longer part of the ground. Van der Merwe steadies himself, takes the catch and just as he felt he was going over the advertisement hoarding, he threw the ball before coming back in to take it. 20/1

    9.4 Oh, dear me. Big time miscommunication which results in both batters at the same end! Cornwall whips off the bails and Pooran is run out. Oh hang on. Looks like Pooran touched down into the crease before Pollard did and the captain is the one run out. Length on the pads, he clips to short fine leg with Pooran haring down. Pollard starts and then stops midway but Pooran was almost at the other end by then. Both batters were in the crease but when Cornwall removed the bails, Pooran's foot was in first. Huge argument between the two followed by a fist pump. Pooran was almost off the field before he was summoned back. Pollard is run out twice in two days. 78/3
    12.3 Top-edge that balloons straight up and the keeper finally takes it. There was some confusion with the keeper and the point fielder looking at each other. Better sense prevailed finally with Rivaldo haring across. Fuller outside off. He backs away looking to clear the off side field. Ends up hitting it straight up. Some quick strikes for Royals here 106/4
    18.2 Edged and taken? The umpire remains unmoved. Holder is very surprised to put it mildly. Powell has gone for the review. Angled the fuller ball away from Russell's arc as he swung at it hard. And yep, UltraEdge confirms there is a spike when the ball is close to the bat. The umpire will have to change his decision. Russell departs for a 22-ball 39. 188/5
    18.6 Pulled but straight to deep backward square leg. Banged in short once more into the body. He pulls, but does not get a decent connection on that. Qais comes in and completes the catch low, diving forward. 191/6

    14.2 Up, up and taken by Guptill at long-on! Ali Khan kisses the TKR crest on his shirt as the crowd breaks into a loud roar. That was fuller in length on leg. He clears his front leg, looking to pump this over long on. Got it off the toe end of the bat and Guptill will not drop those 109/4
    2.2 Cornwall departs second ball and the crowd are absolutely buzzing! He pulls his length ball and tightens his line. Cornwall was trying to go across the line. But can only get a thick outside edge this time around and point completes a simple catch. No Rakh-attack today, folks. 13/1
    8.2 Massive top-edge and Tucker takes a comfortable catch. Looped up outside off. He goes for a slog, but had to fetch it from outside off. That meant he failed to get under it, and ended up ballooning straight up. Tucker calls for it, settles under and completes the catch around the short midwicket region 54/2
    12.2 Wrong'un not picked and he ends up spooning it straight up for who but Pooran to take a simple catch! Salamkheil gets his man yet again and it's all going awry for Royals. Eyes the slog sweep but had to drag that from outside off, with the ball spinning away. Gets a top edge with the ball going to Pooran who gets across from extra cover and hangs on 90/3
    15.6 He gets a wicket, finally! Or does he? The umpires are checking for a no-ball again. He is close to over-stepping again, but this time, lands his foot inside the crease. Was on the fuller side on middle and leg. He lines up the slog sweep, connects really well but straight to deep backward square leg. 131/5
    18.5 Hosein gets another and Holder is a goner! Jumps down the track but Hosein saw him coming and hung his length back outside off. Holder ends up running past the ball and Tucker does the rest. Easy stumping for him. 153/7
    17.3 That has gone miles up in the air. Who's under it? The captain it is and he takes it comfortably. Never in doubt. Fuller outside off, he backs away looking to go over covers. Fails to get underneath it and ends up hitting it straight up. Pollard calls early, clears everyone out of the way and settles under it around the cover point area 140/6
