- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.3 Shashank gets Abhishek for the second time! Taken on the edge of the cover boundary and Shashank charges across having dismissed Travishek. Was a wide fullish ball that Abhishek slashed. Looked like six off the bat but no. 122/28.1 Projected score knows what it's doing alright. Shashank gets a wicket with a harmless ball. Wide on a back of length, may have been the slower one, and Head looked to drag it in with a pull. Connection made too far forward, bottom hand loses grip and ball flies to long-on 120/113.6 ABSOLUTELY ABSURD! How has Marco Jansen plucked that one out of the air? Kishan flicked this one off his pads, from in front of the stumps. Destined to go over the ropes, except Jansen runs in from the deep midwicket boundary - and with his wrong hand - plucks this out with just that one hand. Arshdeep Singh is on his haunches, perplexed, hand over mouth. Justified! 169/319.4 Finally misses this, and Klaasen gets one in the slot, right in front of the stumps. He flicks this and surely he's got this for a six? Except he hasn't! It's gone straight to the deep mid-wicket fielder, and a rather un-Klaasen-like innings come to an end 218/616.4 Mix-up right as Aniket was gaining some momentum! Swipes at this full ball from in front of the stumps, not a great connection on this. Klaasen calls for a second run, so Aniket complies. But he hesitates for just a second, and it's enough for the wicket-keeper to break the stumps before he can make it back into the crease. Aniket walks off, throwing his head back in disappointment. 195/418.5 Salil hits this high, highhh, highhh in the air! He tried to keep a still head as he played this lofted drive with a high elbow, but his head fell to the side just a little. More importantly, he mistimed this ball on a length, near the stumps. There to be hit, to be honest... Bartlett ran in from long-on and his mittens collected that comfortably 214/5Extras13 (b 1, nb 1, w 11)TOTAL219/6 (20 Overs, RR: 10.95)Fall of wickets: 1-120 (Travis Head, 8.1 ov), 2-122 (Abhishek Sharma, 8.3 ov), 3-169 (Ishan Kishan, 13.6 ov), 4-195 (Aniket Verma, 16.4 ov), 5-214 (Salil Arora, 18.5 ov), 6-218 (Heinrich Klaasen, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.2 Field is out and Priyansh has to go. He cleared deep midwicket last time but slog swept it straight to him this time. Shivang pitching it up and being rewarded, he is pumped too 99/18.5 Shivang prises out Prabhsimran. Technically a hit-me ball. 83ks googly landed full and went away outside off, the bat-face opened upon connection and what was intended to be a straight hit went towards long-off. Klaasen ran in and took it sliding forward 117/210.2 This goes hiiiiiiigh up in the air but Connolly mistimed this. Shivang is absolutely pumped, he lets out a lion's roar. And why not? The ball was tossed up, way outside off. But Connolly just did not have enough power on the shot, reaching out. He's walking back as a result 128/316.1 Whaddaball! Wadhera goes for an extravagant lofted drive, but makes absolutely no contact. Dubey speared this into the stumps, and it takes off Wadhera's off-stump with little ceremony... 197/4Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL223/4 (18.5 Overs, RR: 11.84)Fall of wickets: 1-99 (Priyansh Arya, 6.2 ov), 2-117 (Prabhsimran Singh, 8.5 ov), 3-128 (Cooper Connolly, 10.2 ov), 4-197 (Nehal Wadhera, 16.1 ov)
