- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.5 gets the other set batter too! Length ball outside off. Turning even further away. King tries to cut but can only toe-end this slow ball. Struck straight back and Kuldeep takes a smart caught and bowled. His 50th T20I wicket! 106/47.4 first breakthrough, first wicket of the series for Axar. Slows it down a bit. Fullish on middle. Mayers goes for a slog sweep, but this time he top-edges the shot high up for Arshdeep at deep backward square leg to come into play 55/110.5 LBW appeal. Given not out. Kuldeep wants to review... and Hardik agrees. This is a fullish ball around leg. Turning towards middle and off with the batter attempting a slog sweep. Hits him on the knee roll and that's crashing bang into middle stump. The TV umpire Leslie Reifer confirms it. The lack of bounce helps Kuldeep on this occasion. 75/214.1 Kuldeep wins the battle. Slower through the air. But flatter too. Lands fullish on off and Pooran doesn't get to the pitch of the ball in time. Ball turns away, past the edge, and Samson has ample time to knock the bails off. 105/317.1 and a wicket in his first ball! He waited 17 full overs before his first delivery, and starts off with a length ball outside off. Hetmyer attempted the glory shot over long off but he slices it. Tilak on the boundary line does the rest 123/5Extras9 (b 1, lb 3, w 5)TOTAL159/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.95)Fall of wickets: 1-55 (Kyle Mayers, 7.4 ov), 2-75 (Johnson Charles, 10.5 ov), 3-105 (Nicholas Pooran, 14.1 ov), 4-106 (Brandon King, 14.5 ov), 5-123 (Shimron Hetmyer, 17.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 Goes hiiiigh, very high and mid-on runs to the left and pouches the catch! Jaiswal was looking a touch nervous and that gets the better of him. Length ball on middle and leg. He looks to absolutely muscle it into the crowd. Loses shape and the ball goes straight up. Wasn't an easy catch but Joseph kept his composure. 6/14.2 Top-edge that goes straight up and midwicket sprints forward and completes a simple catch. He was just not looking himself today. Short of a length ball outside off. He looks for a pull, but is a touch early into the shot. Gets a top-edge for Charles to take a comfortable take. 34/212.4 Muscles the low full toss straight down deep backward square leg's throat! Oh, what an anti-climax. Not the best of balls Joseph has bowled today. Down leg, and a full toss. Surya gets a good chunk of it but for once can't find the gap. End of a stunning knock, though. Gets a fist bump from his partner. 121/3Extras5 (lb 2, nb 2, w 1)TOTAL164/3 (17.5 Overs, RR: 9.19)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 0.4 ov), 2-34 (Shubman Gill, 4.2 ov), 3-121 (Suryakumar Yadav, 12.4 ov)
