- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.6 caught at wide fine leg! It was a slower ball on leg stump, he tried to flick this square but closed the face too early and skied a leading edge to wide fine leg, Dhawan ran a long way in but stayed composed to hold the catch comfortably 11/13.5 bowled him! Brilliant from Ishant Sharma! Rolled his fingers across a slower ball, Livingstone swung as hard as he could across the line but was deceived, it went through the gate and crashed into the top of middle 20/24.2 Huge mix up! What on earth happened here? Samson pushed it to cover, he wanted one, Lomror sent him back but Samson kept running! Shaw swooped, had all the time in the world to throw to the striker's end and Samson had given up! Shaw hit the stumps direct 26/35.2 caught behind! No footwork and a waft outside off! It was a good length, not quite short enough but the width was there, he just wafted the bat at it and got a thin edge through to Pant. 30/411.2 stumped by a mile! Terrible shot this. He was under pressure. He ran down the track and stayed leg side, Mishra looped it up outside off, it spun sharply away from Gopal, he missed it by a long way and had to keep walking. Easy stumping for Pant. 57/519.6 caught at long off! He didn't get the distance this time. He got under it trying to launch over long off but skied it high to Rutherford who stood under it and held the catch well. 115/911.3 caught behind! Glorious from Mishra! Top spinner tossed up outside off, he pushed out, playing for the googly, it went straight on, brushed the outside edge, good catch from Pant! Mishra on a hat-trick 57/613.2 caught at long off! Gowtham wasn't interested in rebuilding. This was tossed up, he tried to loft this over long off, didn't get enough of it, hit it flat down Ishant's throat and he took an easy catch. 65/717.2 caught at cover! Good catch by Mishra. Fuller on off, he drives but slices this in the air to cover, Mishra dives to his left and takes the sharp chance at knee height. 95/8Extras9 (w 9)TOTAL115/9 (20 Overs, RR: 5.75)Did not bat: O ThomasFall of wickets: 1-11 (Ajinkya Rahane, 1.6 ov), 2-20 (Liam Livingstone, 3.5 ov), 3-26 (Sanju Samson, 4.2 ov), 4-30 (Mahipal Lomror, 5.2 ov), 5-57 (Shreyas Gopal, 11.2 ov), 6-57 (Stuart Binny, 11.3 ov), 7-65 (Krishnappa Gowtham, 13.2 ov), 8-95 (Ish Sodhi, 17.2 ov), 9-115 (Riyan Parag, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 Chopped on! Two in two! Game on! Shorter length outside off, he went back to cut, it didn't turn as much as expected and held up, he gets a thick inside edge and drags it onto the stumps. Wow. Big moment in the match. 28/23.1 caught by Parag running back from mid on! Brilliant catch! Leg break first up, Dhawan skips down to loft down the ground, he gets under it, Parag runs back from inside the circle and takes a superb catch on the run. He is having a great match. 28/17.3 caught at long on! He didn't get this one. It was full in the slot, just like the two he hit off Sodhi, he miscues this, dragging it flat towards long on, Livingstone waits and takes the catch easily. 61/313.4 caught off the glove trying to sweep! Sodhi does it again. He's down to sweep from off the stumps, it catches the glove and pops up, Rahane runs from slip behind the keeper to complete the catch. 83/415.2 caught by Livingstone running in from long on! Great comeback from Gopal. He tossed up the googly, Rutherford ran down the track, tried to launch down the ground, got under it and hit a towering sky ball to long on, Livingstone ran in, sat under it forever but took the catch well. 106/5Extras5 (lb 4, w 1)TOTAL121/5 (16.1 Overs, RR: 7.48)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Shikhar Dhawan, 3.1 ov), 2-28 (Prithvi Shaw, 3.2 ov), 3-61 (Shreyas Iyer, 7.3 ov), 4-83 (Colin Ingram, 13.4 ov), 5-106 (Sherfane Rutherford, 15.2 ov)
