    9.1 big wicket for Shahbaz. Smart bowling. Keeps it wide outside off even as Bairstow leaves the crease. Bairstow looks to go down the ground, but gets a thick edge for a catch at backward point 101/3

    4.6 splat! A slow-motion slog-sweep from Dhawan, but the ball never arrives as he topples backwards with the momentum of his bat-swing, and instead nestles juicily between the middle and off stumps. The end of a feisty opening stand 60/1
    6.4 inside-out drive, but scuffed to backward point! Rajapaksa makes his match-up work this time, not quite to the pitch of the googly, as Harshal swoops round to dent Punjab's momentum 85/2
    19.2 oh he has ramped it straight up. Livingstone moves across looking to ramp him with the angle and over short third but Harshal bowls this closer to him. Livingstone also slightly early into the shot. Ends up going over the keepr but it goes high rather than long 206/7
    14.6 Agarwal in two minds. Ends up getting dismissed. Again slower ball, into the pitch, about shoulder high or just under, Agarwal aborts his cut and decides to play a sort of ramp, but the ball hardly arrives, which means it goes straight to point as opposed to third man. Caught 152/4
    16.2 doesn't pick the wtong'un. Jitesh does the right thing in theory, taking on the threatening bowler, but he has come down the track and has been beaten in the air and then off the pitch too. Bowled middle stump 164/5
    17.3 six and out. Stays on pace, but bowls short of a length and wide, Brar looks to go into the off side, but manages only an edge through to the keeper. Everybody knows he is out but Brar waits for the umpire to raise the finger, which he eventually does 173/6
    19.4 Maxwell missed him last time but catches it clean now. Slower offcutter, on a length, wide, Rishi goes down the ground but has to drag it and gets too far under it. Easy catch for Maxwell at long-on 207/8
    19.6 low full toss, hit to long-on, good to see them trying the second that is not on. The throw from long-on goes to the striker's, and catches Chahar short 209/9

    3.2 back of a length ball into Kohli's hips, late on a pull and the ball balloons off the body to short fine leg. Didn't look like it hit bat at all but the ricochet was so significant to carry to fine leg. He's been given not out on field. Punjab calls for DRS immediately. Ultraedge is showing a spike as the ball passes his gloves though. The decision will be overturned and Kohli's stay at the crease flames out like a supernova. 33/1
    4.2 length ball on fifth stump, Faf charges with a big swish and a massive appeal for caught behind is denied. Keeper is adamant about going for DRS and the captain agrees. Ultraedge is going to be two for two helping to overturn consecutive reviews in favor of Punjab Kings. 34/2
    10.6 good length ball again hugging the wide guideline, Patidar tries to drag this over wide long-on instead of playing with the turn into the off side and winds up clipping this closer to the toe of the bat floating tamely to Shikhar Dhawan, who takes a chest height catch 10 yards inside the rope. 104/4
    4.5 Dhawan to Dhawan, tag-team for a wicket at midwicket! Length ball on leg stump, charge from Lomror who clobbers a pull straight out of the middle of the bat but picks out Shikhar on the ring at waist height. The Kabbadi thigh slap comes out in celebration. 40/3
    11.2 full on off, backs away from leg stump trying to carve this over Arshdeep at long-off but picks him out perfectly at waist height five yards inside the rope. Arshdeep emulates Shikhar Dhawan's Kabbadi thigh slap celebration, and the domino effect extends to Harpreet, who follows in kind with it as well. 104/5
    14.5 wide yorker at 137 kph, tries to slice this out behind point but winds up squeezing this flat to short third man on the ring. Taken crouching at thigh height falling left by Rajapaksa. 120/6
    15.4 slower ball lands on a good length on fifth stump at 115 kph, goes to cut and it floats gently to the man on the ring at backward point. He waits for it to arrive and takes a simple catch at rib height. 124/7
    18.1 full length ball on middle, goes to drive and skies this over the ring. Mayank tracks this swirler over extra cover, runs backward and takes a superb over the shoulder effort. 142/9
    16.4 full on fourth stump, goes for the big slog sweep and picks out Harpreet on the deep midwicket rope. He plucks this reaching high above his head after leaping in the air. He's falling over the rope and flicks this up before stepping over, then collects it upon reentering. Third umpire is checking if this is all kosher. It looks to be. A decade ago everyone would have lost their minds seeing this kind of effort, but this is standard fare now. 137/8
