- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.6 Priyansh's fun innings ends but Punjab will take a 13-ball 36. Another slower ball, but this is from over the wicket and on a length. The batter moved outside off early and swiped across with a mostly horizontal bat. Got a top edge that skied, midwicket ran back and took it with a tumble on the back. 66/16.5 Into the pitch brings Malinga's maiden IPL wicket. Slower one around fifth stump, sat up proper but rose to around shoulder height. Prabhsimran stood leg side of the ball, waited a second and flat-batted it with all his might. Might still have been early on it, looked to have hit a touch low too. Mid-off took a comfortable low catch 91/217.3 A fourth wicket for Harshal and this is the big wicket of Iyer. Slower short of a length ball outside off. He looks to cut this up and over point, but there is no pace to work with. All he can do it pat this straight to the point fielder where Head makes no mistake. 206/613.3 Oh, surely that's plumb. Yep, the umpire's finger is up in a jiffy. Wadhera doesn't even bother to review. Nails the yorker on off stump. Wadhera was eyeing the cheeky scoop/ramp. Is nowhere near it and once the ball thudded into his pad, it was curtains for him. Oh, hang on... hang on. Were we too quick to judge? The replays confirm the impact here was umpire's call and the ball would have missed off stump. As it turns out, Wadhera should have reviewed 164/314.1 Big shout for lbw... not given. SRH, though have reviewed. Impact will be the question here? Did Shashank get outside the line? On a length homing in on off stump. Shashank shimmies down the track and looks to work this to the on-side. He misses and is rapped on the pad. No bat, but where's the impact? Oh, it's in line. Surely, that's going crashing the stumps? Oh, yes. Thudding into leg stump, and Shashank is out of here. Excellent review from Harshal and Cummins 168/417.1 3 off 7, and that's another failure for Maxwell in IPL 2025. Slower dipping full toss just outside off stump. Maxwell goes reverse, is totally done in by the slower ball and the ball ricochets off his pad and thuds into off stump.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.2 Is that the first one? Yes, it is. Chahal gets Head and the partnership ends on 171 in 12.2 overs. Tossed up outside off. Head looks to thump this across the line, gets a top edge that balloons straight up with Maxwell doing the rest at long-on. The Uppal crowd rise up in unison 171/116.2 Finally, finally Abhishek departs. But, oh my word, what an unbelievable knock this has been. The entire stadium rises up as he walks back finishing on 141 off 55 balls. Gets a hug from Arshdeep, and a pat on the back from Wadhera. Was a length ball on his pads, he whisks it but for once can't get enough power behind it. Deep midwicket runs in and takes a catch. He removes his helmet and raises his bat to everyone all around the stadium.
