Vismay: "I think South Africa has unearthed a gem in Stubbs. "
Tristan Stubbs: It was tough when I walked in. I got a flow going after a little while. (On pushing singles before going big) I feel I can give myself time and go big later on, use the momentum. You never know how much is good enough on this ground, hope 208 is. Playing in front of this many people every time is incredible.
9:24pm: Another 200+ score in Delhi. The teams batting first have had a lot of success but, with LSG having to win to survive, will it be enough? The pitch is good for batting. Hope and Porel demonstrated that early on. They smacked 73 in the powerplay even though Fraser-McGurk went for a duck. But LSG's spinners pulled things back. Bishnoi was the pick of them, bowling flat, away from batters' arcs and to his field. He got assistance from Krunal and Hooda. Rahul did give his pacers a chance to shine. Mohsin did. Arshad couldn't. Naveen had a mixed bag and finished with 2 for 52. They kept Pant somewhat quiet. Stubbs built his innings and was very calculated. I felt he could've gone for the boundary a few times he stole twos but he finished with a strike rate of 228, which is great.
Sudev: "3rd umpire's decisions for wide / not wide have been really eye-catchy this year. " in a way...

Jim: "Ravi is going to spend an entire week working one-on-one with Jonty after this over."
