- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 oh David Warner. Takes first strike at the last moment because Livingstone is bowling. Drives hard at a wide length ball, and it runs a little, bounces a little, and takes a thick edge to backward point. What a moment. Will Warner be wishing he had not changed the plan at the last minute? 0/14.5 Arshdeep stands in the middle of the pitch and applauds like a man who knows his job. He has messed around with Sarfaraz's bat swing with his changes of pace and that bouncer. Now he bowls another slower ball but on a straighter line. Sarfaraz wants a six down the ground but ends up lobbing it over mid-on. Chahar takes a good catch running back 51/218.2 into the short leg boundary, but also a mis-hit. Rishi Dhawan runs in from deep midwicket and takes the low catch. Marsh looks to play the pick-up shot over midwicket, but this full ball is just a touch slow off the surface and he gets too far under it and doesn't get the distance 149/610.6 massive slower bouncer. Lalit has shaped up for the hook, aborted the shot, and the ball is still there in front of his face. So he tries to ramp it, but there is no pace in it to clear the infield. Caught at backward point 98/311.6 LL with another big wicket. Pant leaves the crease early, Livingstone slips this wide, Pant swings hard but goes wide of the ball and is beaten on the inside edge. Stumped. Pant's innings: 1, 6, out 107/413.3 not the pitch to be trying this shot. It has been turning big, and they have been bowling good lengths. Powell has blocked five, thinks the sixth one is full enough, but it isn't. He is looking to go over long-on, but the ball turns enough to take the thick outer edge to long-off where Dhawan takes a good catch running in 112/519.3 sometimes missed yorkers work too. A low full toss, but the line takes away him arms. No room at all, and Thakur doesn't get power into his hit down the ground.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 bounced out! Nortje persisted with the short ball plan to Bairstow and after leaking a few boundaries it finally comes off. Back of a length at 152 kph on fourth stump, the times he was hit for four he was bowling low to mid 140s but gets some extra mustard behind this to hustle Bairstow and produce a top edge that goes to deep square leg. Simple catch for Axar five yards inside the rope at chest height. 38/15.6 gem! Ball of the chase! Back of a length on fourth stump at 139 kph, cramps Dhawan for room trying to repeat the shot he played at the start of the over intentionally trying to carve this over short third man. Instead it climbs on him with a touch of extra pace and bounce and produces a healthy edge to Pant. 54/35.4 similar ball at 135 kph, but a much different result! Shardul goes length on middle, Rajapaksa tries to heave this over midwicket but splices this to send it swirling toward backward point. Simple catch on the ring at chest height. 53/27.6 Livingstone comes down the track and has a waft aimed over long on, misses and is stumped! It was slow and on a good length, it went away and Livingstone was not to the pitch of the ball. He swung off balance and looked behind. By then, the wily Pant took a moment and dislodged the bails 61/56.3 another arm ball! The previous one was too full and Mayank got away with it thanks to his footwork coming forward. This time it's on a good length on fourth stump and Mayank goes back to cut but it skids on sharply through a massive gap between bat and pad to crash into middle stump. 55/417.4 sensational from Warner, who finally holds on to one charging in at long-off! Knuckle ball from Shardul lands full on fourth stump. Jitesh slams a drive very flat in the air, doesn't get more than 15 feet above the ground but Warner never hesitated charging forward 15 yards off the rope and lunging forward to take this at shin height. There's an awful lot of fielders in Warner's situation who would have gladly let the ball bounce in front to keep it to a single but he went for glory and got a gold medal catch. 123/89.3 wrong-un beats him through the gate! Lands this on a good length on fourth stump, Brar plays for orthodox turn away prodding forward to defend and leaves a big gap between bat and pad. Faint inside edge before continuing on to the stumps. 67/612.4 another arm ball wicket! Fullish length on fifth stump, Rishi reaches forward to sweep and misses, the ball skids on and crashes into off stump. 82/717.6 Rabada can't repeat it to another slower ball at 118 kph! This is quietly a brilliant spell from Shardul. Slower ball on sixth stump back of a length, Rabada with another big cross-bat heave but it flutters gently to Rovman who takes a head high catch 10 yards in from the rope at long-off. 131/9Extras6 (nb 1, w 5)TOTAL142/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.1)Fall of wickets: 1-38 (Jonny Bairstow, 3.5 ov), 2-53 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 5.4 ov), 3-54 (Shikhar Dhawan, 5.6 ov), 4-55 (Mayank Agarawal, 6.3 ov), 5-61 (Liam Livingstone, 7.6 ov), 6-67 (Harpreet Brar, 9.3 ov), 7-82 (Rishi Dhawan, 12.4 ov), 8-123 (Jitesh Sharma, 17.4 ov), 9-131 (Kagiso Rabada, 17.6 ov)
