    14.4 splits middle and leg! Superb. Didn't get him early on but gets him anyway. Around the wicket, full and and fast and angled in at leg stump. Warner walks into the leg side and makes room to drive through cover. Misses it entirely 96/2
    4.4 lovely catch to the left at deep square. Tyagi gets this one higher and Bairstow is done by the pull shot! It's up at the throat this time, angled in from outside off. He's pulling off the front foot again gets it high on the bat. Samson tracks it nicely to the left before diving to hold on with a soft landing 23/1
    17.4 holes out to long-on. It was coming. This is extremely savvy from Unadkat. It's near impossible to hit slower short balls into the leg side today. He gets this to sit up at chest height and has him slicing. A simple catch well inside the boundary from long-on 122/3

    19.6 full slower ball wide outside off, reaches out and lofts to long-off's left. Jofra picks up on the bounce and then sends a vicious throw to the striker's end on the bounce. Garg has no chance of making it 158/4

    1.2 played on! There's more evidence of a slow pitch. It's a short ball climbing away outside off. He shuffles and wants to pull through midwicket but it's off the inside edge and onto leg stump. Khaleel is overjoyed, and who wouldn't be with this wicket? Yet another opening combo fails for RR, four times in a row now 7/1
    4.1 appeal for catch behind and given! Rajasthan are three down in the powerplay yet again.Good length and pushed across middle stump. He looks to close the face on that and turn it into the leg side. Gets an inside edge onto thigh and it dies on Bairstow, who does well to scoop it up 26/3
    3.4 looks like they have Smith at the non-striker's end. Yup, by a long long way. It's a slower short ball pulled to deep square and they've come back for a second that Smith can't make even with a big, desperate dive. Natarajan picks the one-bounce throw and lobs it onto the stumps. Smith doesn't wait for the third umpire's decision.Smith was hesitant. It was Buttler's call. Paradoxically, it was Smith who ran the first one hard and got there before Buttler got to the other end. Just a slight pause as Buttler hared back for the second - and he looked like he would have completed it. But Shankar, running to his left, put in the perfect throw 25/2
    11.6 thin edge taken well! Full outside off, a legbreak that he tries to drive through cover. Not close enough to it in the end and Bairstow does well with that. He's over the moon and so is Rashid 78/5
    9.1 trapped on the back foot and he reviews the lbw decision. Good length ball, seems like a conventional legbreak. But no, replays show that pitched on middle before sliding onwards to leg stump, where Uthappa is caught on the pad trying to play the glance as this keeps a touch low. It's three reds on DRS and he's gone straight after the break. 63/4
