10.38pm What a game we've had. India are huddled together to decide who bowls. All of them have been taken for plenty. Washington's been the best bowler by a mile. Do they take a chance by bowling him against two set batters? Surely Nabi should come out to open with Gulbadin? This was meant to be a dead rubber, but it's bern a thrill-a-minute ride that has had everyone on the edge of their seats for the last half hour. Exhilarating stuff. As disappointed as he will be with the bowling effort, Rohit won't really mind this experience of playing in a Super Over. The question is who bowls. We'll find out soon.

Mukesh Kumar to Gulbadin Naib, 2 runs, it's a tie and we're going into a Super Over! Mukesh bowls a wide yorker that Gulbadin scythes through the infield to deep cover, Rinku lobs a throw on the bounce to Sanju but it's so far away from the stumps that it gives the batter the split second to make his ground even as Sanju tries to deflect the throw onto the stumps. A better throw from Rinku could've made a difference. . What a finish! And we're not done yet.

3 needed off 1.

Mukesh Kumar to Gulbadin Naib, SIX, belted down the ground for six! Shovelled. Mukesh misses his mark by an inch if not more and Gulbadin generates tremendous bottom-handed power as he helicopters it over the ropes at long-off.

Harshit: "Mukesh has a habit of bowling no balls. Please don't do it now."

Mukesh Kumar to Gulbadin Naib, 2 runs, carved over cover, Rinku runs around from deep point and does well to cut that off and keep it sown to two. 11 off 3
