- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.6 soft dismissal! Warrier with the early breakthrough! Full just outside off, enticing Santhosh to go over the in-field. He takes up the challenge but comes up second-best. The bat face opens upon contact and all he does is offer some simple catching practice to Ashwin at mid off! 2/15.3 big appeal, and that looks very adjacent! But Jagadeesan has reviewed! Angled in on a back of a length on middle and leg. Skids on with the arm and traps Jagadeesan on the crease, who tries to work too square to leg and misses it completely. Impact is on the back pad and the only question here is height. Clear gap between bat and ball. All eyes on Ball Tracking now. It comes up and...it shows the ball would have thundered into the top od middle and leg. Three reds and Jagadeesan is outta here! 41/219.6 holes out to deep point! A wicket to finish the innings! Full and wide outside off. Aparajith looks to carve it over the fence and while he does get a good chunk of it, he does not get enough power or elevation to clear the fielder. Simple catch, and Aparajith walks back after a well-compiled 72 and having taken his side to 158! 158/611.6 Has Paul been run out?! This looks awfully close! Full toss down leg. Paul helps it past short fine leg and decides to come back for two as deep backward square leg retrieves it. The throw is flat and accurate enough at the stumps. Indrajith whips off the bails too and catches Paul inches short of his ground. Seemed a tight run and he was not helped by almost colliding into his partner while running the second, and it has ultimately led to his dismissal! 87/314.1 cleans him up! Googly tossed up on a length on off. Ferrario tries to smash it into next week and is beaten in the flight completely. Has to reach out and sees the ball dip and then spin past the inside edge. Clips the top of leg stump, and Charavarthy has his first wicket! 98/416.6 off stump out of the ground! Sizzling yorker, tailing back into off stump. Siddarth does not pick it and is incredibly late in bringing his bat down. Breezes under the bat and then demolishes off stump. What a delivery, and the Super Gillies are now five down! 116/5Extras8 (b 4, lb 2, w 2)TOTAL158/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.9)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (D Santhosh Kumar, 0.6 ov), 2-41 (Narayan Jagadeesan, 5.3 ov), 3-87 (Pradosh Ranjan Paul, 11.6 ov), 4-98 (Daryl Ferrario, 14.1 ov), 5-116 (C Andre Siddarth, 16.6 ov), 6-158 (Baba Aparajith, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.2 goes straight up, and taken at short fine leg! Slowed up on a length just outside off. Khumar has a swipe across the line but is not to the pitch. The ball stops just enough to take the top edge. Swirls around but Surya, who has just come on, holds his nerve and more importantly, holds onto the catch! 3/116.3 edged and taken this time! Oh my word, this game turns again! Slower delivery dug into the track outside off. Shivam tries to force it through the off side and gets a healthy nick. Drops on Jagadeesan but he does well to stoop down low and pick it up inches off the turf. A good knock, but someone else will have to take the Dragons past the finish line now! 138/513.2 a stunning grab, and that was the only way this Ashwin innings could have ended! Back of a length outside off. A bit of nip away and a hint of extra bounce. Ashwin nibbles at it and the ball flies off the outside edge. Jagadeesan flies too and snaffles up a sharp chance high to his right. Is there still a twist in this tale? 115/213.3 Indrajith has been run out - oh dear! Short and wide outside off. Indrajith slaps it towards mid off and sets off for the single. Stops mid-way and then decides to go through with it. Too much pondering and that brings Ferrario into the game. He takes aim and throws down the stumps at the bowler's end, with Indrajith not even in the frame. Catastrophe for the Dragons, and the Super Gillies sense something might be on now! 115/315.2 Prem Kumar has another, and the Super Gillies are still in this! Slower ball on a length on the pads. There to be hit but Boopathi neither keeps it down nor tries to go over the fence. Chips it straight to deep backward square leg, and Paul makes no mistake. The Super Gillies keep chipping away! 128/419.1 taken on the long on fence by the CSG skipper! And the crowd descends into slience! Juicy full toss outside off and on most days, this would have been hit out of the ground. On this occasion, though, Sarath clinks it badly and arrows it towards Aparajith, who tracks it all the way and takes it right on the fence, high to his right. Top catch under pressure, and the Super Gillies, somehow, are still in this! 154/6Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL161/6 (19.5 Overs, RR: 8.11)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Vimal Khumar, 1.2 ov), 2-115 (Ravichandran Ashwin, 13.2 ov), 3-115 (Baba Indrajith, 13.3 ov), 4-128 (Boopathi Kumar, 15.2 ov), 5-138 (Shivam Singh, 16.3 ov), 6-154 (Sarath Kumar, 19.1 ov)
