- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 Rabada has his own back. This pitch has good bounce so Rabada doesn't really have to go short of a length to bother Saha with the bounce. Saha is looking for the hit over mid-off, but the extra bounce means he gets too much under it. Agarwal back-peddles quite some way from mid-off to take a superb catch 34/22.1 sensational fielding. Hits the one visible stump down. Gill is not happy. He reckons Sandeep Sharma has got in the way. Gill has pushed this to extra cover and set off. It is timed well, and Rishi Dhawan also gets a good bounce. What also happens is that Gill realises he is struggling so he wants to run in the shortest possible line, which also involves Sandeep's follow-through. So he has to run around him. Caught well short. Don't even need the third umpire. Sandeep not in the wrong at all 17/16.2 what a big moment in the match. The wicket of Hardik Pandya after he has practically blocked out two overs in the powerplay. Looks to drive this length ball on the up, and the face is open because he is looking to go through the covers. The ball moves ever so slightly to take the edge through to the keeper 44/311.2 Livingstone ia doing a great job for Agarwal even as Chahar gets his hand looked at. Full ball, offbreak, Miller thinks this is in the wheelhouse, but I suspect it is too close to him. He doesn't get the height he needs. Also it turns to take the thick edge. Caught at long-off 67/416.2 that wide length ball finally pays off. Rabada gets it spot on. Wide and slow, but not wide enough to be called. Tewatia tries to go into the short leg boundary, but gets a top edge, which is caught at short third man 112/516.3 he is on a hat-trick. Cross seam, on a length, just outside off, Rashid opens the face looking for a single, but it holds its line to take the edge through to the keeper 112/617.4 nails the yorker. Stumps splayed. It keeps swinging in, goes past the inside edge, and clatters the stumps of the No. 8 batter 122/718.2 if you just look at Ferguson, he will resemble the Guptill no-look six. But the ball si doing something else. Just like with Saha earlier, this cross-seam delivery has extra bouncer and Ferguson gets too much under it.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 Sangwan clutches on after circling around to this top edge at deep fine leg! Length ball on fourth stump, another flat-footed heave results in a skier swirling behind square on the leg side. Sangwan jogs 25 yards to his left along the rope and steadies himself before lunging forward to cushion the ball in. 10/111.6 Rajapaksa practically gave himself out lbw before the umpire could raise the finger! Slower ball cutter lands full on middle and leg stump, wild heave across the line misses and a big appeal is belted out. Rajapaksa turns his back to walk off past the keeper Saha before he sees the umpire's finger go up. It was that straight. 97/2Extras12 (b 1, lb 3, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL145/2 (16 Overs, RR: 9.06)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Jonny Bairstow, 2.2 ov), 2-97 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 11.6 ov)
