- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 This is Test-match cricket, says Sanjay Manjrekar on air, and that's pretty much it. Bolt-upright seam, good - nay - perfect length. Lands around off, straightens off the deck and Kishan tries punching it straight. The movement finds the outside edge and the keeper takes it. A bit of extra bounce too that had Kishan hopping. Burger leaps in delight. 20/40.5 Edged and taken first ball! What a ball to silence the crowd! 132ks, scrambled-seam, on a length, lands around off and goes through the channel. It opens up Rohit on the straight-bat defence and takes the outside edge. Low carry to Samson's right but he dives and takes it well 1/10.6 Lightning Boult strikes twice! Given out lbw but it's been reviewed. On a length again but this one comes in. Naman tried pushing it towards mid-on but the movement meant there was a big gap between bat and ball. Hit on the knee-roll while on the front foot. Hawk-Eye shows it'd go on to clip leg stump. Two in two to end the over. He'll be on a hat-trick for the start of his next over? 1/22.2 Loose shot, taken at short third! Three in four for the lightning Boult that strikes thrice. Length on fifth, Brevis' front stride to a ball angling away meant it was outside his reach for an off-drive. 14/313.2 RR don't have to worry about Tilak farming strike anymore as Chahal gets him with a wide ball. On a length, had him reach out. Might've even been wide had he left it but he committed to the cut. Googly too, which meant it spun away further, the edge was found and the ball ballooned to short third's left. Good leaping take from Ashwin 95/79.3 Chahal has Hardik hole out! 86ks but flattish, landed around middle and leg and Hardik stood in the crease and tried to club it over long-on. Front leg was out of the way, could he have danced down to that? Got it off the bottom, Powell moved to the right and took a stumbling catch. 76/511.1 Hetmyer takes a stunner at point. Reaches out to the right and takes it with both hands outstretched, around shoulder-height. Was not that short, around fifth stump and Chawla smashed it. Deep cut if it can be called one, was travelling fast. It's why Samson leapt over Hettie in delight in celebrations 83/618.3 David can't finish on a high. Burger goes into the pitch, angles in at the body. It's pulled from deep in the crease, flat and to Boult at the long-leg boundary, who takes it just while jogging to the right. Maybe David was expecting the slower one too there 114/916.3 Softie to cover. Chahal winning the invitational with a 76ks legbreak. Fullish, lands around fifth and turns away a bit. Coetzee looked to drive on the up, didn't try and muscle it but ended up spooning it Hetmyer 111/8Extras7 (b 1, lb 2, w 4)TOTAL125/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.25)Did not bat: KT MaphakaFall of wickets: 1-1 (Rohit Sharma, 0.5 ov), 2-1 (Naman Dhir, 0.6 ov), 3-14 (Dewald Brevis, 2.2 ov), 4-20 (Ishan Kishan, 3.3 ov), 5-76 (Hardik Pandya, 9.3 ov), 6-83 (Piyush Chawla, 11.1 ov), 7-95 (Tilak Varma, 13.2 ov), 8-111 (Gerald Coetzee, 16.3 ov), 9-114 (Tim David, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 Maphaka gets Jaiswal! First wicket in the IPL for the 17-year-old! Pitched up on a full length outside off and shaping away from Jaiswal, who pushes at it. Ends up lobbing it straight to David at cover 10/16.3 Pulled straight to deep fine leg! Bouncer on off at 134kph, Buttler looks for the pull, but hits it flat and straight to Piyush Chawla who makes no mistake. 48/34.2 Samson chops on! Madhwal bowls it short of good length outside off, Samson looks for a cut with no foot movement. Gets an underedge onto the stumps. Can this be a turning point? 42/212.2 Madhwal has his third! Short ball jags in from outside off. Ashwin looks to turn it leg side but gets a leading edge that goes high in the air. Tilak takes a good catch running back from backward point. Did well to settle under that skier.
