8.4 finally, something had to give! The batter swings for the hills and his balance gives way after the ball pitches quite full on middle stump and turns into leg stump. The umpire raises his fingers 65/2

4 taken at fine leg!! Wow, all the few seconds that the ball was in the air, it looked certain to be six. Good, low catch by Ashutosh, who moved to his right and went low to grab the ball. Vyshak bowled it short again, and this arrived around middle and leg. Mirza went pulling through the line, and even timed it well, only for the ball to die towards the fine-leg fielder. But the captain has given Mirza a solid start 37/1

12.3 gone!! Swung to long-on. Wadhera there hardly has to move to catch the ball. Dhir bowled it slow, and got it to dip on a fullish length. The ball was angling across while landing on off or thereabouts, and Saishiv went slogging across the line. But the slowness of the pitch and the ball may have had to do with the mistiming of the shot 93/3

13.4 lovely ball... and given lbw!! Dubey and Jitesh always knew it was out, even as the umpire took his time to give it out. Dubey angled this into the right-hander, and landed it on a length on the stumps. The ball straightened just enough after pitching, and hit Bisht on the back leg, although he looked to push at it from off (was he playing for turn?). Dubey knew Bisht was gone, but the umpire needed some time 104/4

14.3 and he's caught right there!! The field placement by India pays off first ball. The ball went right into Dhir's lap at short fine leg. Suyash fired the ball to go full and flat on leg, and Zikria looked to flick it behind the wicket. He may not have spotted the fielder close in, though, and ended up clipping it bang into the fielder's hands. Oman losing their way here 105/5

19.2 a mild appeal for caught behind... and given out. There was hardly any celebration or reaction from India there. Gurjap banged the ball short just outside off, and extracted good bounce off the surface. Sufiyan had backed away a little, and looked to pull. But the extra bounce meant it took the top edge, and went into Jitesh's gloves 130/6

19.4 bowled him!! Raza falls as Gurjap nails another yorker. The ball was angling in, and struck the side of the base of the middle stump as Raza made room to try and launch it through the off side. The tight length and the inswing meant Raza hardly had any room there 130/7

4.2 caught straight down!! But wait, Suryavanshi isn't ready to walk back immediately as he thinks the fielder's legs may have touched the boundary. On seeing a front-on replay, though, you'd think it was a clean catch. Yup, Bisht did well to remain alert and take the ball at a straightish long-off. Suryavanshi skipped down the pitch, and converted this length ball into a full one, before slicing it back high down the ground. A bit more power was needed, though, for him to get the result he wanted 37/2

2 And now, against the run of play. The bowler pushes the line slightly more towards the middle stump, on a similar length. Muzahir snatches up a ball that Arya pulls to square leg. Not the ideal shot selection to that ball, with not enough elevation to it, and he pays the price 17/1

9 gone!! Straight into the long-on fielder's hands. Oman strike again to keep India A in check. Shrivastava gave the ball some air, and got it to dip on a full length around off. Dhir went slogging it after letting the ball dip, and nearly timed it well enough, as he was caught pretty close to the boundary. Dhir had slowed down in the last few overs, and now falls to the big shot 68/3

17.4 deep third pounces on a reverse slog sweep, which tries to land another full ball over the fielder, but it did not have the required elevation. Wadhera's done his job, though 134/4
