- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.3 Chops it on! It was a back of a good length that was going away with the angle just outside off, The body went to the left as the bat reached out as he tried to dab it to third man. It took the inside edge and went back to hit the stumps on the bounce 35/23.4 Whack-pulls a length ball to the keeper! It was going down leg, Dhawan made room and came back across and tried to hard-paddle, whack-pull, what have you past short-fine leg along the ground. It hit the sticker of the bat and went to the right of Pant, who moved and took it well. Dhawan walked straight after before being given by the umpire. 33/16.4 Pulled straight to deep-fine leg! It was a length ball on the hips, Bairstow went back in the crease and judged the length well. However, the placement of the pull was the conundrum, as the the Fizz, took it comfortably under the bread-basket 54/45.3 Runs down the ground and misses the straight loft, gets stumped! It was a good length ball over off, it straightened after pitching. The major issue was that Liam did not get to the pitch of the ball. The hands came through with the full bat-swing, the bottom hand came off, and so did the bails. 46/312.1 full ball, and he looks for the sweep. Given out leg before, but he goes for the review immediately. He went across the stumps, and he was looking to get it fine. I think the question will simply be if he got a tickle on it. There's a slight spike, but that comes when the ball just grazes the ground. Goes on and hits the stumps, but with umpire's call on impact. He will have to go, but the review is retained 85/514.3 edged through to Pant! That's probably the last surviving hope for Punjab to reach a fighting total. Length ball, angles across him, and he flays at it, but with little feet movement. Gets a decent edge through to the wicketkeeper, as Khaleel wheels off in celebration 92/813.4 fullish, and through his defence! Rabada has a hopeful poke at it, from the crease. Didn't really pick the length or the line properly. The ball goes through as he looks to drive, and it rattles somewhere between middle and leg. Kuldeep has deserved some reward for his spell today, and he gets it today 90/613.6 Kuldeep strikes again! Just tosses this up, around off, and with the angle of his release, it slides on, and also turns just a touch. Ellis has a tentative attempt at a drive, but his bat also comes down at an angle, and leaves enough room between bat and pad for the ball to sneak in and rattle the stumps 90/717.4 sweep, and straight to Rovman Powell at deep backward square leg! Chahar has just made too much of a connection with this ball. It wasn't tossed up a lot, but the line was teasing and tempting, angling in and on the stumps, at a fuller length. Probably there for the sweep, but he failed to keep it down 108/919.6 full, just outside off, and he has a swing and a miss. Wants a single, but won't be getting anything for this. Pant is quick to come over and whip the bails off. Unselfish, that is one way of looking at it, I guess 115/10Extras2 (lb 1, w 1)TOTAL115 all out (20 Overs, RR: 5.75)Fall of wickets: 1-33 (Shikhar Dhawan, 3.4 ov), 2-35 (Mayank Agarawal, 4.3 ov), 3-46 (Liam Livingstone, 5.3 ov), 4-54 (Jonny Bairstow, 6.4 ov), 5-85 (Jitesh Sharma, 12.1 ov), 6-90 (Kagiso Rabada, 13.4 ov), 7-90 (Nathan Ellis, 13.6 ov), 8-92 (M Shahrukh Khan, 14.3 ov), 9-108 (Rahul Chahar, 17.4 ov), 10-115 (Arshdeep Singh, 19.6 ov)
