- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 ahh, this could be a terrific catch! Noor is in the action again. Placed at deep backward square leg, he rushes forward and goes low to grab this ball which is dying on to him. The third umpire is checking if it's a clean catch, with Noor's fingers being confirmed to be under the ball. Eventually it is given out, with the third umpire convinced. This is what Shaw did: he saw a shortish delivery angled into him, and almost as if he was expecting it to bounce more, first shaped to hook, before pulling it down from a middle-and-off line 36/23.2 taken at deep backward square leg! This is a knuckle ball on a length on middle and leg, as it is angled in. Fraser-McGurk goes heaving at it, and seemingly played early on being beaten by the slowness of the ball. The ball went pretty high, but didn't have the distance, as Noor waited before grabbing it with a reverse cup 35/116.6 taken at long-on! Axar went for another heave, but this time hit only flat without any distance. Sai Kishore takes with his hands going low. Noor bowled on a length, and went for a googly again. This was bowled outside off, as Axar picked it up to swing across the line but mistimed 157/45.4 looks to go inside-out over cover, but doesn't get to the pitch and slices this down Rashid Khan's throat at third man. Rashid did well to get around the ropes, but lost sight of the ball, or so it seemed, but somehow recovered in the nick of time to dive forward and complete the catch. It's a third for Warrier. 44/3Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL224/4 (20 Overs, RR: 11.2)Fall of wickets: 1-35 (Jake Fraser-McGurk, 3.2 ov), 2-36 (Prithvi Shaw, 3.5 ov), 3-44 (Shai Hope, 5.4 ov), 4-157 (Axar Patel, 16.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.4 there's the wicket and the pressure of upping his scoring has got to Saha! This sat up nicely and Saha had reasons to believe he'd absolutely nailed it, but saw Axar leap high at cover to pluck that superbly. 95/21.3 sliced to mid-off! Axar there back-pedals and takes the ball with a reverse cup over his head. Gill is beaten by the pace, which is 147kph. Nortje went on a fullish length on off, and Gill went lofting. But the ball seemed to skid through, and took the bottom of Gill's bat before chipping for a simple catch 13/112.4 he has picked out long-off. Didn't get to the pitch of the ball but went through with the stroke, the timing was slightly off as he hit it off the bottom part and Axar didn't have to move much to complete the catch. 121/410.1 this is simply outstanding from Jake Fraser-McGurk! Incredible anticipation and speed off the turf to get to the ball from the deep midwicket boundary. Omarzai heaved that to the leg side, didn't time it well at all, which made the catch that much harder. Oh, JFM, you beauty. 98/317.3 taken at deep backward square leg! There was almost another drop there! Mukesh went on the fuller side of a length on leg, and Miller again got his front leg out of the way in trying to flick it hard and flat. But Salam at the boundary went low to grab that, and nearly fumbled while his hands touched the ground 181/714.1 ahh, well taken by Pant! He hardly had time to react there. He is up to the stumps, and the ball stays slightly low off a length around sixth stump. Shahrukh attempts to swing across the line and gets a bottom edge, but Pant brings both his legs close together to nab it quickly. Salam strikes again, as the wide-ish line outside off finally works for DC after Mukesh was dispatched in the last over 139/515.6 taken by Pant again! Kuldeep gets Tewatia, even as the ball wasn't all that well bowled. There were a lot of revs on it all right, but the length was short outside off, and the turn away meant it ended further wide outside off. Tewatia went chasing after it with a flat bat, and ended up playing away from his body. But a faint edge was pouched by Pant moving to his left, and ended Tewatia's stay 152/618.6 bowled him! Salam hits back with an inswinging yorker, which Sai isn't able to keep out. But Sai has done a terrific job, and invariably ensured that Rashid has the strike for GT in the final over. The length of the ball was too full for Sai to try and clip across the line, and he missed. Salam is thrilled 206/8Extras8 (lb 4, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL220/8 (20 Overs, RR: 11)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Shubman Gill, 1.3 ov), 2-95 (Wriddhiman Saha, 9.4 ov), 3-98 (Azmatullah Omarzai, 10.1 ov), 4-121 (Sai Sudharsan, 12.4 ov), 5-139 (M Shahrukh Khan, 14.1 ov), 6-152 (Rahul Tewatia, 15.6 ov), 7-181 (David Miller, 17.3 ov), 8-206 (Sai Kishore, 18.6 ov)
