- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 well taken by Hetmyer! He was placed at deep-backward square leg, and ran forward while keeping his eyes on the ball along, and taking the catch just past the 30-yard circle. Archer kept pumping the short balls at the openers, and this one got big on Marsh around off stump. There was some extra bounce, and as Marsh went hooking, the ball took off from the top half of the bat 16/115.5 Tossed up well outside off and Markram is out of here. Slows this up at 84.9kph away from Markram's arc. He looks to go over long-off but gets it right off the bottom of the bat. Parag swallows up a relatively simple catch 130/45.2 Sandeep hasn't even entirely completed his lbw appeal... and the umpire's finger is up! It looked that clear!! But Pooran has reviewed! Sandeep angled that in from around the wicket, and went on a very full length on off. Pooran looked to launch it across the line, but the ball skidded through to hit his back leg, which was deep in the crease. There's not bat involved, and ball tracking shows the ball would have hit the base of leg stump. So LSG lose Pooran and a review 46/27.4 taken by Jurel on three juggles!! He eventually had to go low to grab the ball. It was a length ball from Hasaranga on off, and there was some extra bounce and some turn away. Pant went reverse sweeping, but got a top edge, with the ball going on to hit the grill of Jurel's helmet. From there, it dropped and went into his gloves, before Jurel took it after nearly dropping it 54/317.3 Straight to deep cover and Badoni's innings ends on exactly 50. Back of a length ball outside off, he swats this away decently well but the placement is not on point. Hits it straight to Dubey, who initially over-runs, but settles himself and takes a good catch reverse-cupped over his head 143/5Extras9 (lb 4, w 5)TOTAL180/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Mitchell Marsh, 2.2 ov), 2-46 (Nicholas Pooran, 5.2 ov), 3-54 (Rishabh Pant, 7.4 ov), 4-130 (Aiden Markram, 15.5 ov), 5-143 (Ayush Badoni, 17.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR17.1 The middle stump is flattened and Jaiswal's innings is cut short. Nails the yorker on middle. Jaiswal backs away, looking to go offside. Is beaten for pace and Avesh is pumped up. 156/38.4 is he stumped?! Pant looks confident, and the square-leg umpire refers this. Yup, the first replay confirms that Suryavanshi's back leg is juuuuust above in the air when Pant whips the bails off. It was well bowled by Markram too, who slowed it down at Suryavanshi. It was angled in, and as Suryavanshi looked to lean and push forward, he missed this ball which ended outside leg 85/19.6 gone, taken at fine leg! This time the attempted pull finds the fielder. Another short delivery from Thakur, who bowled this around off, and got it to finish on middle again. This time Rana swivelled to pull, while not looking surprised by the length or the bounce. The ball, though, landed right in the lap of the fine-leg fielder 94/217.6 Oh, dear, Parag is struck right in front and Avesh has a second wicket for the over. Is there life in this game, yet? Nails the yorker again on off stump, Parag shuffles across and looks for a cheeky scoop. Misses and is caught bang in front. He reviews, more in hope than anything else. In fact, Parag is almost at the boundary line by the time the third umpire confirms that the ball would have missed off, missed leg and thumped into middle stump. 161/419.3 Oh, he's flicked this straight to square leg. My word, that's a great catch by Thakur. Half-volley on Hetmyer's pad, a metre left of right of square leg and that was four. Instead, he nails this to Thakur who hangs on. Hetmyer is filthy with himself. But this game has changed again 175/5Extras2 (lb 1, w 1)TOTAL178/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.9)Fall of wickets: 1-85 (Vaibhav Suryavanshi, 8.4 ov), 2-94 (Nitish Rana, 9.6 ov), 3-156 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 17.1 ov), 4-161 (Riyan Parag, 17.6 ov), 5-175 (Shimron Hetmyer, 19.3 ov)
