- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.5 Smith is walking back, even as the umpire has gone to his TV colleague. Run-out at the bowler's end. And replays confirm Smith is clearly short of his crease. This time he got across the stumps, aiming to go over the short fine-leg fielder yet again. But the length of the ball was too short to facilitate that shot, as the ball dropped short of the fielder 161/24.4 Cleans him up with a flat wrong'un! That was bowled fuller on the off stump. Short eyes a full-blooded swing, misses and sees his off pole pegged back. 31/117.2 taken at deep square leg! Prasidh's slower ball finally works in his favour. He bowled on a length, pitching outside leg while angling it in. Inglis was through his attempted slog already, and ended up holing out to Jaiswal, who took it on the second attempt 180/3Extras7 (lb 2, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL208/3 (20 Overs, RR: 10.4)Fall of wickets: 1-31 (Matthew Short, 4.4 ov), 2-161 (Steven Smith, 15.5 ov), 3-180 (Josh Inglis, 17.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 One shot too many from Jaiswal and Short has his maiden T20I wicket. It was in the slot to be hit, but the batter does not get the elevation. Outside off, he looks to go up and over mid-off, ends up hitting it straight to him who takes it gleefully 22/20.5 Slower short of a length ball, pulled to deep backward square leg, and dear oh dear, Gaikwad has been sold down the river completely. It was an easy single, but Jaiswal thought the second was on. He races back only to stop after taking a couple of steps. By that time, Gaikwad was already at a point of no return. The throw comes in, Wade even fumbles but Gaikwad was so far down that the keeper had the time to recover and whips off the bails. He is gone for a diamond duck. 11/112.3 taken at deep extra cover! That seemed to have been timed pretty well, but went bang where the man was stationed. Sangha bowled full and wide of off, enticing Kishan to launch inside out over the off-side ring. That is exactly what Kishan ended up doing, but perhaps all too well. Short took it reverse-cupped above his head 134/317.4 great catch by Hardie! He seemed to be placed at mid-on, as he turned around and sprinted towards long-on. The ball was dropping over his shoulder, as he dived forward to nab that. It was a knuckle ball which trapped Surya, as Behrendorff bowled on a length, angling it across off. Surya was deep in the crease, and also across, lofting it with little timing 194/514.5 well taken by Stoinis at extra cover! He had to keep his eyes on the ball for a long time, even as it was swirling in the air. Eventually, he dived to his left to gobble that. Sangha bowled that fullish and outside off, with Tilak having another free swing at it. But he ended up skying it very high, and falling while attempting another boundary 154/419.3 Abbott takes a good catch to keep India waiting! He ended quite a few steps behind from where he delivered the ball, with the ball dropping over his shoulder. Axar looked to pull this shortish ball around middle and off, but got a top edge. The ball popped up, and with the mid-on fielder almost rushing in, Abbott did well 207/619.4 Bishnoi is run-out at the bowler's end! But importantly for India, Rinku will be on strike next ball. Abbott bowled it short outside off, getting it to climb sharply. Bishnoi looked to pull but missed, and the batters ran almost blindly. Wade had a go at the stumps at his end but missed; but Abbott collected the throw, and hit the stumps at the other end to find Bishnoi short 207/719.5 another run-out chance! And by Abbott and Arshdeep's reactions, the latter could be short. But the third umpire will confirm. Wow, he is well short! India lose three wickets in three balls. It was a short delivery around middle and leg, as Rinku had a swing with a pull shot. The ball went wide of long-on, whose throw to Abbott was a little wide of the stumps. But Abbott took it and banged the stumps to find Arshdeep short 208/8Extras14 (b 1, nb 1, w 12)TOTAL209/8 (19.5 Overs, RR: 10.53)Did not bat: M Prasidh KrishnaFall of wickets: 1-11 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 0.5 ov), 2-22 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 2.3 ov), 3-134 (Ishan Kishan, 12.3 ov), 4-154 (Tilak Varma, 14.5 ov), 5-194 (Suryakumar Yadav, 17.4 ov), 6-207 (Axar Patel, 19.3 ov), 7-207 (Ravi Bishnoi, 19.4 ov), 8-208 (Arshdeep Singh, 19.5 ov)
