0.4 early trouble for the Panters. Athisayaraj tests the deck by pitching one short, on middle and off. Praveen sees the length and tries to play the pull but fails to consider the line of the delivery which was much closer to his right shoulder. The ball seemed hurried on him, gets a top edge on the pull and the keeper takes an easy catch 2/1

6.5 cleaned him up. Arm ball, came in with the angle. Karthik gets low to play the sweep, misses the ball and snakes though to rattle the stump 51/2

19.2 looks to pinch a run and gone! Slower ball on off and a wild hoick across the line. Misses the ball and Anirudh call's for a suicidal run and the keeper hits the bulls eye. Anirudh was short by a country mile. 144/8

12.4 full and wide on off, plants his front foot across and smashes towards cover. Baba Aparajith at cover leaps to his right and snaffles a good catch. Important breakthrough for the NRK as this partnership was threatening to take the game from them. 109/3

13.4 needless hoick and gifts his wicket away. Tosses up on off, Kousik gets low and tries to play the slog, gets the elevation but not the requisite distance. Harish out there runs in and takes a lovely catch 114/4

16 gone! Absolute chaos out there in the middle. Length on off, spun back in and thuds on the pad. Loud-cry for leg-before and the umpire denies meanwhile the batter loses the sight of the ball and tries to pinch a cheeky run. Anirudh sends him back, righty so, and the keeper picks up the ball and whips the bails off. There was never a run there and the wheels are coming off for the Panthers since Chaturved's wicket 123/4

17.5 slower length ball outside off, look to play the paddle but ends up edging one to the keeper. Not the ideal ball to be playing such shot 135/6

19 back of a length, again fancies to clears mid-wicket fence but nowhere near the middle of the bat. Sanjay who had dropped catch few balls before settles in and pouches a good catch 144/7
