    2.3 more height than length. Jaiswal looks to go down the ground, but this is is not full enough and also this pitch is not quite skidding on as of now. He ends up skying it, Mohammad Nabi runs to his left from mid-on, calls out for the catch and takes it. There is a man at deep square leg who can get around too but he waves him off 18/1

    2.4 or maybe not. He has scored a golden duck. He looks to go first ball, and the ball probably sits in the surface and gets big on him. Ends up slicing the pull to mid-off. Identical entry in the scorebook: c Nabi b Fareed. Absolute silence at Chinnaswamy. Pardon me, it seems the catcher here is Ibrahim 18/2
    3.6 lovely bowling. For three balls earlier in the over, Omarzai tested the inside edge with movement back in to Dube. This one, though, nips the other way from the same spot. Dube follows the movement with his hands, and edges him through to Gurbaz 21/3
    4.3 another c Nabi b Fareed entry in the book. Samson has repeated the Kohli dismissal. Not a single sighter to get used to a pitch that has taken three powerplay wickets. Swings hard at a shortish ball, which again seems to stick in the surface, and takes the top edge for Nabi to take at cover 22/4

    10.6 there's the wicket. Kuldeep bowls the wrong'un, it's a touch short and Gurbaz sees this as an opportunity to quickly rock back and slap over cover. He hits it well too, but Washington leaps high with both hands and intercepts the ball swiftly. Excellent catch. 93/1
    12.3 sees him giving the charge and fires it down leg. Excellent anticipation from Sanju to move down leg, collects the ball well but ends up having to dive full stretch to break the stumps. And he does it in the nick of time with Ibrahim a couple of inches short. Excellent work from Sanju. Great presence of mind from Washington. 107/2

    12.4 make that two in two. Washington's done him in flight and dip. Omarzai heaved this towards the longer leg-side boundary, no timing and picked out Bishnoi at deep midwicket. 107/3
    16.2 he has picked out deep cover point. Washington bowls this slower and wider, it's a loopy delivery that forces Nabi to manufacture pace, he is on the backfoot as he lofts it over the infield but just couldn't get enough power in the end as Avesh, the boundary rider, takes a good catch. Gem of an innings from Nabi. 163/4
    17.1 great work from Sanju, fires a direct hit at the non-striker's end! Gulbadin looks to slog, gets an inside edge that rolls wide of the keeper on the leg side. Janat was halfway down the pitch when he was sent back, Sanju ran in quickly, picked up the ball and fired the throw in one motion and hit bull's eye. 167/5
    18.2 excellent running catch from Kohli, Chinnaswamy roars! This was bowled full and away from his hitting arc, he ended up slicing it over to the off side, Kohli from wide long-off charged across a good 25-30 yards to his right to take the ball where deep cover would be. 182/6
