- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10.2 taken at mid-off. Good length and in the corridor. Padikkal looks to drive through the line to try and clear mid-off, but that sticks in the pitch and he's through it early. Bottom hand comes off as well and it's easily taken by Faf. Padikkal didn't come to terms with this pitch tonight 66/22.5 knocks out middle stump! Finch was utterly out of sorts tonight and it shows with this wicket. Woeful swish at this inswinger. It's a good length ball that hits the top of middle. Finch's feet were leg side, his bat swing outside off. Not pretty viewing at all for him 13/110.5 there's a sound and there's a wicket! AB de Villiers for a duck. Cross-seam delivery at a good length and in the corridor. He looks to drive from inside the line of that and gets a thin edge through to Dhoni. Thakur's penchant for getting the big players is alive - Russell in the last match, AB tonight 67/314.3 easily taken to his left by Dhoni. Short and wide outside off, looks to lace this behind square on the off side, absolutely chucks the hands at it. Can manage only a thick edge 93/4Extras12 (lb 1, nb 1, w 10)TOTAL169/4 (20 Overs, RR: 8.45)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Aaron Finch, 2.5 ov), 2-66 (Devdutt Padikkal, 10.2 ov), 3-67 (AB de Villiers, 10.5 ov), 4-93 (Washington Sundar, 14.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.4 out goes middle stump! Washington sprints into the leg side and takes a leap in celebration. Good length at off stump, spinning in towards him. In Watson's defence, this is there for the sweep that he's attempted. But he's not got low enough for it. From the position he's in, he's probably better going with the slog sweep from under the ball. What he ends up doing is swiping above it and he's disappointed 25/23.6 taken at deep square! Two miscues and then he nails one, but that is the bigger side and I think he was looking to go straigther. Flat good length ball at middle stump, he wants to pick that up but ends up getting under it a tad too much and it turns into a sweep of sorts by the end. Not a slog sweep though, and it's taken a few yards inside the boundary 19/117.3 knocks middle stump and points to his captain at long-on. It's a loopy, slow full toss on off stump. He's in the off side looking for the paddle sweep. Paddles it onto middle stump. A laboured innings that never looked like taking off. Rayudu's struggle ends 113/614.2 oh that's a meek end. Low full toss on off stump, mistimed punch to mid-off's left and he takes off for a run he's no even determined to finish. Sort of gives up and hopes at the end while Morris picks up and hits the stumps direct at the non-striker's 89/315.6 taken at long-off! Calculative and consistent. Chahal's had a bad night tonight but with his last ball he's got Dhoni hitting exactly where he wants. This is tossed up full and wide outside off. Dhoni has to reach out a long way. He does and he gets a hammer down on the ball. But from his position, nearly split across the crease, he can't get elevation. It's right into the hands 106/416.2 there's a sound on it and bowler and keeper are convinced. They convince Kohli to review the catch behind appeal. It's a short ball at middle. Curran is backing into the off side for the ramp and there's a sound as ball passes glove and sails over the stumps. Early visions of the replay show this is a good review....And Ultra Edge confirms there's an edge on that. 107/518.6 taken at deep midwicket. Full toss on leg stump, a hurried flick and hardly a step needed to be taken, it's straight into that fielder's grasp 126/818.4 takes it this time! A full toss outside off, Bravo looking to loft that over long-off but the bat turns and he miscues that. Padikkal with a similar sprint in and this time he's got his hands in position to grab it at waist height 122/7Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL132/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.6)Did not bat: KV SharmaFall of wickets: 1-19 (Faf du Plessis, 3.6 ov), 2-25 (Shane Watson, 5.4 ov), 3-89 (Narayan Jagadeesan, 14.2 ov), 4-106 (MS Dhoni, 15.6 ov), 5-107 (Sam Curran, 16.2 ov), 6-113 (Ambati Rayudu, 17.3 ov), 7-122 (Dwayne Bravo, 18.4 ov), 8-126 (Ravindra Jadeja, 18.6 ov)
