    4.2 That's a terrible botch up! Fraction short and angling into the pads, gets the splice of the bat and the ball skews away to cover-point; he was walking aimlessly down the pitch and the fielder (Chaitanya Bishnoi) comes up with a sharp throw at the non-striker's end. He is not even in the picture, should have ran faster and not stopped in the middle, watching the ball instead of putting in the slide. He will be absolutely livid with himself! 28/2
    3.6 Oh he tries a cheeky shot behind square and doesn't connect. High risk shot as he tries to reverse scoop it and Haris makes a vociferous appeal for an lbw and the umpire is convinced. Gous has sent it upstairs for a second opinion. Fair delivery. Splayed his front foot out to create room for the scoop but got rapped on the pads. Nothing on the sincko. Pitching outside off, impact in line and it's umpire's call, just clipping the leg stump. Unicorns draws first blood! Probably the shot wasn't on when facing Haris who is spearing his thunderbolts 28/1
    5.6 What is going on? WF in a huge spot of bother as Mukhtar Ahmed lobs one straight to mid-off where Stoinis takes an easy catch comfortably, reverse cupping as the ball descended on him. Exceptional over from the Pakistan quick! Just launched the ball straight into the hands of the fielder, pitched up at a searing pace on off and he couldn't get much elevation and power behind that shot, couldn't get up and over the fielder 33/4
    5.1 Now that's a stunning yorker! Pace is pace yaar! Off stump goes cartwheeling. He is too hot handle, rams a heat-seeking yorker on off and Phillips goes without troubling the scorer. He tried to jam the bat down but he was a touch late and the furniture was already disturbed. Excellent execution and what a fiery celebration to follow 30/3
    12.1 Cleans him up! Bangs it on a length and gets it to kick off the deck, stands tall to crash it through off but skewers it off the outside edge to Wade who takes a superb catch. Serious pace draws an edge and WF are staring into the abyss! 73/5
    17.1 Short of a length on fifth stump line, picked he length quickly and lofts it high into the air but didn't get all of it, Allen at long-on takes a stupendous catch, safe as a house 109/7
    13.5 Climbing through from back of a length, slow and slammed into the surface; he steps away outside leg stump and tries to get on top of it, doesn't have much pace to work with and despite generating quite a lot power behind that shot, he couldn't clear Anderson at wide long-on and has to go! 82/6

    2.2 Length ball on off, goes hard at it, heaves it over mid-off, Phillips takes a stunning catch somewhere around long-off, he was swirling around, initially was going from the trajectory but then adjusted superbly, course correcting and running back, keeping his eyes locked on the ball and pouching it safely in the end 18/1
    5.1 Unbelievable! That's the stuff of legends! Good length, gets it jag back, he goes for an ugly hoick over cover and Phillips, the gun-fielder, takes another sensational catch, running backward from cover-point, tracks the ball from the bat, through the air, towards him and then into his hand. He is on a hattrick! Netravalkar you can do no wrong! 31/4
    3.4 Oh my word! What a sight for the bowler! Castled! Round the wicket, pitched up and gets plenty of lateral movement, the middle stump is uprooted and goes cartwheeling. Perfect length just outside off and gets enough movement to beat his bat. 25/2
    3.6 No way! Are you kidding me? Another brute of a delivery, fuller on this occasion and gets it to shape back from outside off as Shadab makes a mess of his stumps. Late movement and then nipping it back like a barracuda out of the murk to clatter the stumps. Completely bamboozled him and Netravalkar has brought his team back in this game! 25/3
    16.5 Takes the aerial route again and it's Phillips again! He has been exceptional in the field today, I think it's his third catch. Banged in short around middle, goes for the full-blooded pull, nearly got all of it, Phillips was sitting deep close to the rope at midwicket and hangs onto it brilliantly. He is over the moon, this match shows how important is fielding, he has lifted his team with some breathtaking catches. 88/7
    12.4 Loopy delivery on a shorter length and it spins away sharply outside off, Finch springs down the track and doesn't take into account the movement, misjudges it completely as Hosein cleverly keeps it a touch short and wide from his reach, keeper quickly whips off the bails and that's an interesting celebration, like sprinkling some salt on a wound but anyway pressure was building up and Finch doesn't like to go in a shell and dictated, big shot was on the cards 65/5
    13.2 A massive appeal for an lbw and umpire took an eternity before agreeing with the players, raises the finger and that's a vital breakthrough. Pitched up on middle, looked pretty plumb. Singh Dhillon goes down on one knee to play a sweep, didn't connect. Cagey stuff 66/6
    19.2 The pick of the bowlers does it again! It's the fourth wicket for Netravalkar as this length ball was nibbling away outside off, he tries to play a paddle sweep and gets a faint edge through to the keeper. Arms aloft and he loves it! 102/8
    19.5 On a short length, just shaping away from the batter, a lovely line, draws an edge that goes into the keeper's mitts. Sixth wicket for Netravalkar, what a performance! 103/10
    19.3 Fourth catch for Phillips and a fifer for Netravalkar! Lovely ball, hitting the deck hard and getting it lift, Haris flexes his biceps and goes for the pull but finds the fielder at deep midwicket 102/9
