- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.5 taken at short third! From the looks of it, Zampa perhaps didn't expect the ball to come on to him that quickly. It was dipping as it approached him, with Zampa grabbing it low to his left, and with a reverse cup. This time Ellis bowled seam up, angling it across to pitch fullish and wide of off. Jaiswal went lofting again, only to mistime it. He lost his right hand off the bat too, with the ball taking the outside edge 77/119.2 taken at long-on! Another slower ball from Ellis, although the length was pretty much ideal for the hoick across the line, and over long-on. But there was little timing there, as the ball went to long-on, where David took it over his head with a reverse cup 221/415.2 although he's gone, this looked so much like Rishabh Pant! He is standing deep in the crease, and throws his hands at a very wide ball - perhaps more than two sets of stumps away - even as he loses his bottom hand and falls on his back. Stoinis had bowled on a length, getting it to angle across and finish extremely wide. The ball ended up travelling right to where deep point was positioned 164/217.4 well taken by Stoinis! He moved to his left from extra cover, all the while looking up at the ball while ending very close to the deep-point fielder. They almost had a mix-up, but Stoinis did well in the end. Ellis had bowled fullish and pretty wide of off, as Surya reached out with a flat bat. But he ended up ballooning it up, beaten by the slower ball 189/3Extras15 (lb 2, nb 1, w 12)TOTAL235/4 (20 Overs, RR: 11.75)Fall of wickets: 1-77 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 5.5 ov), 2-164 (Ishan Kishan, 15.2 ov), 3-189 (Suryakumar Yadav, 17.4 ov), 4-221 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 Jaiswal puts his body on the line and it sticks! Prasidh sticks with a short line. Angles into his chest. Tries to heave it over square leg but he's mistimed it. Jaiswal runs to his left from deep square leg.... and then dives parallel to the ground... hands outstretched and all! 58/42.5 this time the inside edge clatters onto the stumps! Full ball outside off. Googly again. Short attempts the drive but this time he makes a mess of the poles 35/14.2 Tilak tracks back from mid-on and takes a tough catch! Extra air from Bishnoi. Inglis gets low and tries to play the slog sweep. He miscues the shot, and Tilak takes this catch from over his shoulder. Takes a tumble amid the acrobatics and Inglis is out. But the umpires will have a look if the catch is clean...and his fingers are underneath at all times. Great technical effort ensuring the catch was completed without any doubt. 39/25.5 Axarrrrrrrr! Australia three down in the powerplay and some aggressive Suryakumar captaincy has paid off for India. Full ball on middle. Maxwell moves leg side and tries to mow this over long on again. But this time Suryakumar has kept Jaiswal at long on, and the ball goes straight down his throat 53/314.4 Mukesh can celebrate! Axar at long on runs around and completes the catch. In Stoinis' range to hit it down the V, but he doesn't connect as desired. That was a straight high-elbow loft that he didn't get the full swing of the bat to 148/613.3 Bishnoi outsmarts David! He cranked the pace up, got the ball to skid more, and David has been undone. This time David goes back in his crease to flat-bat over the bowler's head, but he mistimed the attempt. Ruturaj runs in from long on and completes the rest. A terrific knock but ended by a good Bishnoi delivery 139/515.1 yorker! Base of off, Abbott tries to play it behind square. Makes a mess of it! Tough, tough ball to get second ball 149/715.6 this time it is leg stump! Full ball around middle and leg. Rolled his fingers over this ball. Ellis tried to send it into orbit but totally lost his shape. Two wickets and three runs in PK's third over 152/816.5 yorker! Off stump flattened and Australia are nine down. Zampa has no answers to this ball that sears in from around the stumps. A gentle applause from Laxman on the sidelines 155/9Extras10 (lb 4, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL191/9 (20 Overs, RR: 9.55)Fall of wickets: 1-35 (Matthew Short, 2.5 ov), 2-39 (Josh Inglis, 4.2 ov), 3-53 (Glenn Maxwell, 5.5 ov), 4-58 (Steven Smith, 7.2 ov), 5-139 (Tim David, 13.3 ov), 6-148 (Marcus Stoinis, 14.4 ov), 7-149 (Sean Abbott, 15.1 ov), 8-152 (Nathan Ellis, 15.6 ov), 9-155 (Adam Zampa, 16.5 ov)
