- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.5 got him, carrom ball close to off stump. I think Agarwal picked it, but he didn't get the room he desired to be able to play that front-foot cut. Ends up hitting it in the air, straight to backward point 37/117.2 down the track, Bravo slants the slower length ball away from his arc, and Rajapaksa goes hard at it, looking possibly to clear long-off. Doesn't get hold of it, slices it high in the air, and extra-cover settles nicely under it 147/219.1 down the track, doesn't quite get to the pitch of this slower offcutter, and swings his body 360 degrees while looking to smash this over midwicket, out of the ground, and into the next postcode, but he doesn't middle it. Instead he gets a top edge and it flies high in the air and settles in the hands of the fielder at short third 174/319.6 slower length ball outside off, no pace to work with, flat-batted one bounce to long-on, and they run the second run just in case there's a fumble. The throw is at the keeper's end, there's no fumble from Dhoni, and Bairstow is run out by yards 187/4Extras14 (lb 1, nb 2, w 11)TOTAL187/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9.35)Fall of wickets: 1-37 (Mayank Agarawal, 5.5 ov), 2-147 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 17.2 ov), 3-174 (Liam Livingstone, 19.1 ov), 4-187 (Jonny Bairstow, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.3 similar ball, similar shot, but a very different result! Fullish length wide outside off but Rabada may have dragged the length back ever so slightly. Mayank is still up in the ring at mid-off teasing Gaikwad to go over the top and it results in a miscued skier to Mayank who backpedals and takes the catch reaching above his head. 89/41.5 length ball swings the other way in to the body at 130 kph, Uthappa tries to heave this over midwicket but is off balance and it climbs on him a touch to produce a top edge. It swirls over midwicket on the ring, easy catch for Rishi Dhawan waiting for it to come down into his arms at chest height with palms facing into the body. 10/15.3 woof! This sums up better than anything how weak Santner was on his legs. He shuffles across and is bowled behind them! Fullish length ball at 138 kph, fairly innocuous except for the part where Santner goes too far across and leaves his stumps exposed. Misses yet another leg side flick and this time pays the price as it knocks out leg stump. Arshdeep cements the humiliation with a curious celebratory dance. 30/26.6 drag on! Another fairly innocuous looking delivery angled across off stump at 130 kph, Dube doesn't really get his feet moving though throughout his stay and pokes at this with a big gap between bat and pad, gets an inside edge that cannons into leg stump. 40/317.5 yorker cleans up Rayudu! He was looking gassed after the resumption from the strategic timeout following his dismantling of Sandeep in the 16th. Rabada was on top of him during this over and spears in another yorker following Rayudu backing away from leg stump. Rayudu misses with a tired heave and it ricochets off his pads onto leg stump. 153/519.3 it was a wide if he left it! Might have even gone for five wides down the leg side! Instead it's a leading edge skewed to deep midwicket! Half-volley directed well down leg, Dhoni tries to help it on its way over deep backward square ala the first ball of the over but instead it comes almost off the toe and flies to Bairstow who takes a safe catch 15 yards in from the rope at chest height. 168/6Extras16 (lb 9, w 7)TOTAL176/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.8)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Robin Uthappa, 1.5 ov), 2-30 (Mitchell Santner, 5.3 ov), 3-40 (Shivam Dube, 6.6 ov), 4-89 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 12.3 ov), 5-153 (Ambati Rayudu, 17.5 ov), 6-168 (MS Dhoni, 19.3 ov)
