- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.4 full on leg, misses the flick, roaring appeal from Samson for lbw and the umpire gives it out. Might be going down leg, Bairstow reviews it. It was a flat legbreak from Chahal that Bairstow wanted to flick off the pads. He is struck way down the crease, no edge, pitches on leg, ball-tracking says "umpire's call" for clipping leg stump and it's the third wicket for Chahal! 119/45.1 Buttler takes a one-handed ripper at mid-on! It was a length ball outside off and Dhawan came down the ground and tried to flick it in the air, was not down to the pitch of it but got enough to go over where Buttler was initially standing. But he tracked back, went left and adjusted to his right, put up his left mitt and it stuck! He tumbled back and somehow kept the ball in his hands. Ashwin celebrates, Dhawan leaves with a smile. One of the catches of the season. 47/110.2 Rajapaksa charges down but loses his leg stump! Rajapaksa dances down the track to smoke that over long-on, Chahal doesn't give it much flight and it goes straight through after pitching on length on the leg stump, well past the big swing of the bat. Chahal is thrilled! 89/214.2 finds long-on, another wicket for Chahal, another catch for Buttler! Pitches it up a little bit but not much pace on leg stump, Agarwal wants to go all the way but he hands a simple catch to Buttler. Chahal takes a bow 118/318.5 Prasidh Krishna wins the contest with a yorker! Right at the base of the stumps, Livingstone has gone across to off again, swings for the leg side and misses it completely 169/5Extras14 (lb 3, nb 1, w 10)TOTAL189/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.45)Fall of wickets: 1-47 (Shikhar Dhawan, 5.1 ov), 2-89 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 10.2 ov), 3-118 (Mayank Agarawal, 14.2 ov), 4-119 (Jonny Bairstow, 14.4 ov), 5-169 (Liam Livingstone, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.2 Arshdeep breaks the stand and gets the big wicket! A stock, length delivery from Arshdeep just outside off, Jaiswal goes down the ground with a big drive but only gets height towards long-off, not much distance and the tall Livingstone gets under it 141/33.6 Taken at short-third man in... a weird entanglement! It's a wide yorker and Jos shuffled across to meet it on the full, he tried to scoop it but the body was rotating, the ball hit the bottom and went to short-third who took it comfortably. Talk about living and dying off the same sword... 46/18.1 Skied and taken by Shikhar! Length ball just outside off had Samson come down the track and slap it but the bat turned and the ball went straight up in the air. Shikhar waited under the ball and took it comfortably after backtracking a bit from point to make it a dismissal of the Dhawans 85/218.5 taken at cover! Such is life; you nail those yorkers outside off for some runs, and you go marginally inaccurate with the length for a full toss and get a wicket. Padikkal swung for the off side when he saw the full toss but didn't middle it at all and handed a catch straight to Agarwal around head height 182/4Extras7 (w 7)TOTAL190/4 (19.4 Overs, RR: 9.66)Fall of wickets: 1-46 (Jos Buttler, 3.6 ov), 2-85 (Sanju Samson, 8.1 ov), 3-141 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 14.2 ov), 4-182 (Devdutt Padikkal, 18.5 ov)
