- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.6 and the wide angle has worked. Redemption for Shokeen. He has shown the smarts here. Again hides this well outside off, but this is not going to be a wide. Bhuttler goes after it and manages just the cue end. He is caught at long-off, just before the death overs begin 126/44.2 finally catch taken. Into the big buckets of Pollard. It is a good delivery, Drifts in, which means Padikkal is cramped after giving him the charge. And then the ball turns, ending up being sliced to long-off 26/17.2 a wicket second ball for Kartikeya. Oh it is a typical wristspinner's wicket. A rank long hop, but Samson has ended up upper-cutting it straight to deep point 54/214.1 twenty-nine balls without a boundary already, and this pressure is building. Sams bowls an offcutter, short of a length, which sits in the surface and bounces extra. Mitchell has no option but to go after everything now, and gets a massive top edge to extra cover 91/317.1 short-arm jab to a short ball, and it goes straight to deep midwicket. Again looks like it has stopped a touch on him, and he has had to delay the shot. Just that mild pause in the downswing that has cost him the power 130/519.1 no he bowls the slower bouncer to follow Ashwin as he moves away from the wicket. Looks to pull this fine, but ends up gloving it to the keeper. He walks off, but I am not sure his glove is on the handle when the ball hits him 155/6Extras12 (lb 1, nb 1, w 10)TOTAL158/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.9)Fall of wickets: 1-26 (Devdutt Padikkal, 4.2 ov), 2-54 (Sanju Samson, 7.2 ov), 3-91 (Daryl Mitchell, 14.1 ov), 4-126 (Jos Buttler, 15.6 ov), 5-130 (Riyan Parag, 17.1 ov), 6-155 (Ravichandran Ashwin, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 full on middle, goes to sweep and top edges this to square leg. Extra bounce from Ashwin, it was there to sweep on the length on fourth stump, but extra revs from Ashwin cause this to pop up to Mitchell adjacent to the leg side umpire for a simple catch at chest height. 23/15.4 short on the stumps, goes to pull this and top edges this over the keeper Samson, who shuffles a few steps to pouch it with ease. 41/214.6 flights this into the body, SKY tries to dance away to create room but is cramped trying to shovel this down the ground and a simple catch is taken by Riyan Parag shuffling 10 yards left before taking it at rib height with his hips swiveled sideways facing his friend at long-off to keep his body in control and soften the ball into his hands. 122/315.2 full in the slot on off, goes to launch this down the ground and miscues this near the toe of the bat, it flutters gently to Riyan Parag at long-on who jogs forward and takes a very casual catch at thigh height 15 yards in from the rope before flicking it away with disdain. 122/419.1 Pollard falls at deep fine leg! Slower bouncer at 111 kph on the body, Pollard gets inside the line and pulls this flat to the fielder on the rope. It was judged supremely and without hesitation by Mitchell, who ran 10 yards to his right before settling and lunging forward to take an ankle high catch. Third umpire is reviewing this now. The ball looks like it has gone into the finger tips before the fingers then press against the grass but the ball is firmly in the fingers above the grass. Third umpire is taking his sweet time but finally the confirmation is given that it is a clean catch. 155/5Extras11 (b 1, lb 2, w 8)TOTAL161/5 (19.2 Overs, RR: 8.32)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Rohit Sharma, 2.3 ov), 2-41 (Ishan Kishan, 5.4 ov), 3-122 (Suryakumar Yadav, 14.6 ov), 4-122 (Tilak Varma, 15.2 ov), 5-155 (Kieron Pollard, 19.1 ov)
