- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 great catching!! LSG's fielding and Shami's skills have combined for the second wicket of the day. Head is beaten by the lack of pace as well - like Abhishek was. Shami bowls it on a short of a length on off, as he angles it across, and bowls with a scrambled seam at just 121kph. Head looks to push forward, but ends up losing the bottom hand off his bat, and awkwardly pops it up for Markram at mid-off. Markram does really well to dive forward and grab it low 8/20.6 gone!! The slip was just removed, but the man at short third completes a nice take. Siddharth placed there went low and dived to his right to grab the ball just above the ground. It was an outside edge off Abhishek's bat, as he went driving at this full delivery outside off. It was a slower ball, though - a really early use of the variation - from Shami, and Abhishek goes for a duck. Just one run from the first over, apart from the wicket 1/13.3 bowled him!! Prince celebrates like a royal. He has flattened Kishan's off stump. Prince angled it across, and went with an upright seam. The ball landed around off or thereabouts, and Kishan went driving. But the ball just about shaped back in enough to smack the off stump, as Kishan was beaten 11/37.1 superb take by Pant!! He first leaped in excitement, then moved to his left with the angle, and finally dived across to his right to gobble it one-handed. This is what happened with the ball: Livingstone went for the lap sweep, but ended up top-edging it. The ball popped up behind him, and Pant was alert to the opportunity, although his jump gave the impression that he thought Livingstone was hit on the pad. In fact, replays show the ball went up off Livingstone's left shoulder 26/418.1 Premeditation ends up with a diving catch for Pant. Klaasen shaped to play the reverse lap before the delivery. Avesh went full around off, then it became a matter of execution. But Klaasen lobbed it to Pant's right 144/617.4 The wide line works. Reddy went for the right shot, lifting it off the front foot like he has against pace and spin. Can't get the height on it, deep cover takes it 142/518.2 Chopped on and the stadium in quiet. Avesh goes back of length outside off, cross seamer, Dubey dances down and looks to cut it. Not enough room, swung too high too. Under-edge goes back onto hot stump. 144/719.3 Yorkers are so back in style! 137.4ks, slanting in and hitting offf stump. Shivang got low and looked to hit straight, ball was too low and too quick 151/819.6 Swing and a miss, Pant throws down the striker's stumps. Harshal well short. Was a short slow ball outside off, Aniket went for the pull and took off right after being beaten 156/9Extras5 (b 1, lb 1, w 3)TOTAL156/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.8)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Abhishek Sharma, 0.6 ov), 2-8 (Travis Head, 2.1 ov), 3-11 (Ishan Kishan, 3.3 ov), 4-26 (Liam Livingstone, 7.1 ov), 5-142 (Nitish Kumar Reddy, 17.4 ov), 6-144 (Heinrich Klaasen, 18.1 ov), 7-144 (Harsh Dubey, 18.2 ov), 8-151 (Shivang Kumar, 19.3 ov), 9-156 (Harshal Patel, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.2 taken on the long-off boundary. The ball went really high, but still gave the impression that it was on its way for six. The wrong 'un from Shivang, as he angles it across, and goes full on off. The ball turns away, and Markram mistimes his attempted loft through the line. Livingstone didn't have to move an inch either way at long-off to take that 77/24.4 gone!! Taken at deep square leg. This ball is banged in short, and on off. There's slight seam movement back in, and also considerable bounce. Marsh goes for the pull, but gets it off the higher side of the bat. The ball flies to Nitish at the boundary 37/112.1 Dubey outfoxes Badoni. The batter danced down but got yorked, the 99ks ball was well outside off, so Badoni had to reach out to punch it away. Got beaten, Kishan whips off the bails without his hands going back, Dhoni style 102/313.1 Pooran finds a new way to lose his wicket... It's a touch unfortunate. He swept it into the pitch, Kishan moved right and caught it on the bounce, Pooran didn't know that and took a couple of steps. When he turned, the bails were off. The ball spun away a touch which might be why the ball went that fine. Any which way, rare dismissal 105/417.4 Taken at long-off, SRH hanging on even if barely. Samad got the ball he wanted, full and just outside off. Went for the step-hit, rotational arc with the bat face looking at the sky. Scraped it flat to the fielder 139/5Extras2 (b 1, lb 1)TOTAL160/5 (19.5 Overs, RR: 8.06)Fall of wickets: 1-37 (Mitchell Marsh, 4.4 ov), 2-77 (Aiden Markram, 9.2 ov), 3-102 (Ayush Badoni, 12.1 ov), 4-105 (Nicholas Pooran, 13.1 ov), 5-139 (Abdul Samad, 17.4 ov)
