- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 Chopped on, Mukesh points straight and leaps. 133ks seam-up length ball moves in off the pitch, causes Sudharsan to get an under-edge as he looks for a cross-bat square drive. Slices back onto the stumps, the bent elbows show how he's cramped for room. Orthodox batter done in by orthodox seam bowling 19/117.3 taken at short mid-off!! Another one at a lack of pace, and Gill is gone. He went lofting at this full delivery outside off, but seemed to be beaten by the slower ball. Gill opened the face of the bat to try and slice it - perhaps - but ended up skying the ball to where a short mid-off would've been. Rana did well to keep his eyes on it 183/37.3 Knocked over, Kuldeep gets Buttler off his third ball. Was a long-hop, but at 95ks after bowling 89ks last two balls, and it didn't bounce. Kept low, lost a lot of pace off the pitch and beat the pull as Buttler got low and tried to adjust. Bottom hand came off as the bails flew 79/219.3 got him!! Washy falls rather tamely after a very good knock. Mukesh angled this ball in from around the wicket, and bowled a low full toss. Washy opened the face of the bat at that, but only ended up popping it for extra cover 205/4Extras6 (nb 1, w 5)TOTAL210/4 (20 Overs, RR: 10.5)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Sai Sudharsan, 2.1 ov), 2-79 (Jos Buttler, 7.3 ov), 3-183 (Shubman Gill, 17.3 ov), 4-205 (Washington Sundar, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.1 Prasidh continues his wicket-taking ways. Bowls hard length just outside off with a slightly scrambled seam, it's a bit too close and short for the flat-bat slash across the line. Mid-off takes a low catch. Nissanka tosses his bat forward and spins it as GT celebrate 76/116.6 got him!! Rahul falls for 92. This could be the game for GT. Rahul chases a wide delivery, and falls. A cross-seam delivery from Siraj, who bowls on a yorker length and wide outside off. Rahul had left the previous wide balls outside off this over, but not this time. He has a swing at it, and ends up getting an outside edge for Buttler 166/69.5 High ball... Sudharsan runs in takes it beautifully! Running in from long-off, took the catch as he went down to slide, then tumbled and turned to get up in style. Was a 95ks length ball outside off that Rana swiped across the line. Top edge. Small innings, eventful but not impactful 101/29.6 POTM... not today. Ripping googly from Rashid. Lands just outside off and spins in sharply, Rizvi covered the initial line as he went for the punch through mid-off. Beaten on the inside edge, off stump dinked 101/313.6 Phillips does what he does best - takes a good catch!! Rashid went across the stumps, and bowled from around the wicket. It pitched on a full length on off, and Rashid bowled the wrong 'un. Axar went lofting by opening the face of his bat, but ended up slicing it for Phillips, who, at extra cover, turned around and dived, with the ball dropping over his head. It was a nice grab as he kept his eyes on the ball and timed his dive perfectly 134/416.4 direct hit, and Stubbs is gone!! Sai was at mid-on, and had a lot of time to aim at the bowler's end as Stubbs had taken off. But Stubbs was sent back after running halfway down, and even a dive couldn't save him. Siraj bowled another bouncer at Rahul, who swatted at it from around off stump. The ball only went as far as mid-on, though, and Stubbs ran without looking back 160/519.2 taken by Gill!! More importantly for GT, Miller will remain off strike. More drama. A short ball from Prasidh, who bowls a cutter outside off. The ball shapes back in, and Nigam decides to swat it back after making room. But he can only send it up for Gill to take it after moving a few steps back from extra cover 202/719.6 Have GT have won by one run?! This is an amazing finish. The umpire has given Kuldeep run-out, but hang on... this could be wide for height. Plenty is happening even as GT look confident. The players are lurking on the field, waiting for the final decision. Ohh, the ball passes below Miller's head, although he's "on his toes", as per the third umpire. More wait. More nerves. More drama. If it's not a wide, GT will win by one run. Indeed. The ball passes well below the head height. So it's not a wide. So it's confirmed: GT win by one run. This was the delivery: Prasidh bowled a slower one, and short in length. Miller looked to pull but missed. The ball shaped away just before landing into Buttler's gloves. Miller and Kuldeep ran, but the latter fell short despite diving as Buttler hit the stumps at his end 209/8Extras8 (w 8)TOTAL209/8 (20 Overs, RR: 10.45)Fall of wickets: 1-76 (Pathum Nissanka, 8.1 ov), 2-101 (Nitish Rana, 9.5 ov), 3-101 (Sameer Rizvi, 9.6 ov), 3-130* (David Miller, retired not out ), 4-134 (Axar Patel, 13.6 ov), 5-160 (Tristan Stubbs, 16.4 ov), 6-166 (KL Rahul, 16.6 ov), 7-202 (Vipraj Nigam, 19.2 ov), 8-209 (Kuldeep Yadav, 19.6 ov)
