    7.6 lovely slower bouncer. Harshal is celebrating a catch at the wicket, but the umpire hasn't given it. PBKS review it. Ultra Edge confirms there is a bit of a tope edge and also a chunk of the glove on the ball. Warner has to go 74/2
    3.2 wide on the crease, wide half-volley, Marsh square-drives, but finds short cover-point to perfection. Arshdeep has got lucky with this one 39/1
    10.4 Rabada comes back. This length ball, bowled at 141ks, might have just stopped a touch on him and Hope almost plays a check-drive straight and low to short cover 94/3
    12.4 Patel makes up for the drop catch. And again with the slower short ball. Bowled at 123ks, Pant looks to ramp it behind square, but the lack of pace means he ends up lobbing a catch to backward point. Pant is furious with himself 111/4
    13.2 appeal for catch down the leg side, the umpire calls it a wide, and PBKS review it. This is fired into the pads, Bhui gets inside it, looks for a tickle fine to fine leg, and UltraEdge confirms he has gloved it. A second catch decision successfully reviewed by PBKS 111/5
    15.4 looks for the inside-out chip over extra cover, but again the lack of turn for Chahar perhaps means he ends up hitting it much straighter than desired. Shashank makes a good run to his left from long-off and completes a diving catch. And credit where it's due: this ball does drift in to hit him on the inner half of the bat 128/6
    17.1 Close call on the run-out. The third umpire comes in. Short of a length, slower ball, angling in, Axar bunts it into the leg side, wants a second to keep strike but the substitute fielder Tanay's throw from deep square is on the money. Axar is caught short. No dive either 138/7
    18.3 now Arsh goes full, 134ks, seam slanting towards slip, and there is a bit of movement in the air to take the edge on the attempted big hit from Sumit 147/8

    3.1 Ishant rattles middle stump! He wins the battle of the Delhiites. Dhawan danced down, looked premeditated, and tried to heave across the line. Looked to have bounced lower than Dhawan expected. The 137ks ball zipped past him. Ishant's off in celebration. 34/1
    3.5 Has Ishant tipped the ball in follow-through to run Bairstow out? Yeah, poor YJB. This was more unlucky though and he resigns with a smile while walking back. Was a slow ball into the pitch to which Prabhsimran charged and cuffed with a cross-ish bat. It poured along the pitch, Ishant went low to the right and got just a fingertip to it. Smart replays with multiple angles confirms and it and YJB, diving back, couldn't make it in time. 42/2
    9.2 Kuldeep gives it air and reaps rewards. Googly at 83ks is full and outside off, Prabhsimran tried to thrash it over the fielder but found Warner at long-on. Looked to have dipped a bit 84/3

    18.3 Heaves across the line, Curran misses but not Khaleel. Offcutter on a length, lands outside off and comes back in. Curran was too early on the shot and it hit top of off. Preity Zinta applauds and is all smiles as Curran walks back 167/5
    11.3 Another appeal for stumping. Pant is all smiles. Is Jitesh walking? Sent upstairs. Was a length ball down leg, Jitesh went for the expansive reverse sweep. He missed it and was mid-jump and out of the crease. Meanwhile, Pant lunged low, stretched his upper body as far forward as he could and pushed the ball into the stumps. That oughta reaffirm thoughts around his keeping 100/4

    18.4 Shashank has been bounced out first ball, Khaleel on a hat-trick. Pacy and at the armpit, the batter was done for pace and cramped for room as he tried to pull. Ball popped off the glove for Pant to take a dolly. Khaleel and Pant share a glance of understanding, this seems to be a plan coming off 167/6
