    9.1 got him first ball after the break! What a return for this guy. Once again, it's that wristy release that looks like it'll be a legcutter, but goes straight on. It's flicked off the middle finger, cross-seam. Will not spin inwards. Warner looks to flick, an indication that maybe he was looking for the one that comes in when it's delivered like that. But it gets the top of the bat and floats back to the bowler whose little fairytale now has Warner as a lead character 59/2
    3.6 bowled him next ball! Looks like an offcutter. Bairstow swishing all over this. Just an incoming ball hitting the seam, in fact. Bowlers know Bairstow is vulnerable to that ball. And it shows rather pertinently in this instance. Good length ball, pitching in the corridor with a tilt inwards. Bairstow looking to drive on the rise for the line. Off and middle both visible. You don't do that and get away often against this bowler 24/1
    17.4 awkwardly bunts a high full toss back to the bowler. Umpires are checking if it was above the waist. Straight into his mid-riff, that. He was hopping and lobbed it straight back up for Russell. It's about thigh high. Pandey will go back. He was shaping to play the ramp. Caught off guard, but it is a legal delivery 121/3
    19.2 Saha run out at the striker's end. Full ball outside off, Nabi mistimes the drive, along the floor to long-off. Saha wants the second but is sent back. Puts in a dive but he won't make it. A forgettable innings for him, couldn't get anything away tonight 138/4

    1.2 sliced and mid-off takes it. Warner himself, and he is ecstatic. Slammed in short of a length at a middle stump line. Looks for the pull but this has stayed a touch low. It's a feeble slice in the end. Warner with a loud call and that is another failure for Narine against bowling that isn't good length or fuller 6/1
    4.4 caught behind! Feet rooted from Rana this time. I suppose one can lose discipline when it's coming off so nicely previously. This is good length, lands on the seam and goes away marginally outside off. No forward stride and that's a drive away from the body. Thin edge and some Test match flashbacks for Saha 43/2
    6.2 big appeal and given! Karthik doesn't pick the googly. And he doesn't take the review....oh hang on, the timer seemed to have gone past zero, but he has a review after all. Wondering if I missed his signal earlier, because this is very odd otherwise. Anyway, he was pushing forward, playing for a corridor line on this length ball. Was caught on the back leg right in front of middle. That takes the top of leg says tracker and...well, they'll lose the review that was taken in bizarre circumstances. Certainly the TV timer had burnt out. Is there another timer on the field? Can be the only explanation 53/3
