- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 he's picked out mid-on! That's a poor shot. He looks to swat this over the infield but got it off the bottom. 16/20.2 massive appeal and gone! Saha plays for one that nips away but this one comes back in to beat the inside edge and smash him on the pad.
Would've crashed into middle and legThis would've gone over, as replays confirm. Saha didn't bother reviewing after consulting with Roy. 1/16.5 have they got him with a direct hit? Top work from Shakib. Williamson nudged it to the leg side, took off for a run, Shakib instinctively moved across, picked the ball and fired the throw at the bowler's end in one motion and he has caught Williamson short of the crease. 38/314.2 taken in the deep! Not full enough for the slog. Garg looks to drag this towards deep midwicket, but it doesn't have the distance either. Tripathi runs around the boundary on the longer side, and pockets another catch. Garg out for a useful 21, and you think the innings situation dictated his pace today. 70/510.1 straight forward! Full outside off. Sharma comes down the wicket to hoick it over the leg side. But the ball skids straight through instead of turning in. Past the edge, DK does the rest. 51/417.2 this time Samad is done as he mistimes a punchy shot in the air. Length ball angling in, and the shot comes off the bat's top half. Gill keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a catch with ease 95/716.1 Iyer at long on takes Holder's wicket. Not as full as Holder thought. Stretches forward to hit a big one, but the ball goes into orbit. Lapped up by the young fielder 80/618.2 helicopter shot down the ground but Rashid hasn't timed it as well. Mavi went full with the slower ball, and it's been struck to Iyer at long on.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR16.3 out for 57! Kaul goes for his toes again. Overpitched on leg stump. Gill flicks, but flicks too well. In the air, and Holder at long on is under it. Has he done enough for this to be a match-winning innings? 93/34.4 Williamson takes a tumbling catch running across to his left from mid-off. Frustration gets the better of Venkatesh Iyer! Kooked to hoick this up and over, but ddn't get any power or timing. Williamson had to also contend with the cables of the spidercam. 23/16.4 he's cramped for room but looks to take him on with the pull and ends up hitting it to midwicket. This wasn't all that short for him to play the stroke. 38/217.6 in the air and Saha runs forward to catch. Rolls his fingers over the ball. Back of a length, on middle. Pull attempted, but sliced. 106/4Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL119/4 (19.4 Overs, RR: 6.05)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Venkatesh Iyer, 4.4 ov), 2-38 (Rahul Tripathi, 6.4 ov), 3-93 (Shubman Gill, 16.3 ov), 4-106 (Nitish Rana, 17.6 ov)
