    13.4 hundred and gone! Googly on a back of a length on middle and off. Allen tries to punch it through the off side. Does not pick the googly, though, and the ball breezes past his bat, smashing into middle stump thereafter. Taking nothing away from a sensational innings - this has been of the highest order! 149/3
    7.1 Noor breaks through! Tosses up a googly on a length on middle and off. JFM looks to smash it over long on, and looks like he has not picked the variation. Cuts across it too much and skews it towards long off. Hardie settles under it and completes a regulation catch. JFM, who never really got going, has to depart! 79/1
    7.3 chopped on! Noor has two in the over, and he is bringing TSK back into this contest! Floated up a little more, angling across the batter outside off. Krishnamurthi has a tentative waft at it but does not quite get to the pitch of the ball. Chunks it off the inside edge and sees the stumps light up soon after, albeit via a deflection off the ppads! 79/2
    18.1 holes out to Faf du Plessis! Slot ball outside off. Inglis transfers his weight forward and looks for his trademark inside-out stroke. Gets a good chunk of it but not the elevation to clear the TSK captain, who runs around to his left from long off and takes the catch in front of his face. A good cameo comes to an end! 186/5
    14.5 Noor strikes again! This boy is special! Fizzed through on a back of a length on middle and off. Spins back into Rutherford and hurries onto him. He gets cramped for room and all he does in the end is chip it straight to Noor. No mistake made, and TSK have two in quick succession! 152/4

    19.5 stop the press, TSK have taken a catch! Low full toss, angled across the batter wide outside off. Anderson has to fetch it and in that process, cannot get under it fully. Chalks it off the toe-end and Hardie does the rest at long on! 199/6

    4.2 put a cape on Corey Anderson, oh my goodness! NFL scouts, are you watching?! Change of pace, angled across and hung up on a length way outside off. du Plessis does well to reach it and chips it towards mid off. Anderson moves to his right, leaps up into the air and then flings out his left mitt, plucking it out of thin air and making the ball stick. Would not have been out of place at the NBA, or the NFL and definitely not out of place at the MLC. Cometh the hour, cometh the captain! 55/1
    7.5 taken this time! And it has been a while coming, hasn't it?! Hard length outside off. Hardie advances, trying to go inside-out. Slices it too much, though, and offers a simple catch to Rutherford at deep point, who makes no mistake. Super Kings just wobbling a little now! 84/2
    8.4 Cummins will not drop that! A quick two-wicket salvo for the Unicorns! Dangles the carrot outside off and Milind bites. Skips down the track, looking to clear long off. Gets it nowhere near the middle and offers some catching practice to the Australian Test skipper! 87/3
    9.5 Stoinis bites the dust! Drysdale tests out the middle of the track and dares Stoinis to take him on. Stoinis, unsurprisingly, does so and laces his pull. The only problem, though, is that he hits it uppishly and straight to mid wicket. Hassan snaffles up a sharp chance, and the TSK chase is now flagging! 90/4
