- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 clever from Rabada! Sends this down a touch wider on seventh stump and drags the length back a fraction on a fullish length to tease Rahul into another drive, but there's no footwork playing well away from his body and a thick edge flies to Shahrukh who is standing at a floating wide slip/gully (or a very fine short third, depending on your perspective) position and catches this reaching to his left at shoulder height. 41/15.5 back of a length back on middle at 140 kph, Mayers opts to straight bat this driving over mid-on rather than go for a pull and pays the price. He was cramped with the length being dragged back, nowhere near a drivable length and a tame shot comes off the splice floating to Shikhar five yards inside the ring at mid-on for a basic catch. 74/213.3 fullish length on middle, Badoni tries to repeat the slog sweep over the leg side but hits it much too flat and picks out Chahar charging in 10 yards from deep square leg to take a thigh height catch. Livingstone erupts in celebration capping off the antagonism between the two throughout the early part of the over. 163/318.2 full and angled wide on eighth stump, Stoinis shuffles across trying to paddle short arm jab flick this over fine leg but winds up top edging it swirling between the keeper and short third. The keeper calls off the ring fielder for a simple catch to end one of several fiery knocks tonight from an LSG batter. 239/419.4 full on leg stump, Pooran shuffles across to scoop over fine leg and looks like he middles this straight to the keeper taking a sharp catch diving to his right. It's somehow given not out on field. Arshdeep calls for DRS immediately gesturing to Shikhar and they go for the review. There was a clear deflection but replays show it misses the bat and flicks the pad on the way through to the keeper. However, Pooran was so far across his stumps that it flicked his pad right in front of middle stump and ball-tracking shows this ball was ripping out middle and leg stump halfway up. So the decision is overturned to out. Just not how it looked like it would have been initially. 251/5Extras15 (lb 6, nb 4, w 5)TOTAL257/5 (20 Overs, RR: 12.85)Fall of wickets: 1-41 (KL Rahul, 3.2 ov), 2-74 (Kyle Mayers, 5.5 ov), 3-163 (Ayush Badoni, 13.3 ov), 4-239 (Marcus Stoinis, 18.2 ov), 5-251 (Nicholas Pooran, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 length ball on middle at 133 kph, whips a pull straight to the sub Daniel Sams at deep backward square leg. Picks him out 12 yards inside the rope taking this simply at chest height. 31/20.5 short on seventh stump, Shikhar charges and uppercuts this straight to deep point. He couldn't have picked him out any better and a catch is taken 10 yards in from the rope by Krunal at chest height. 3/112.6 full on fifth stump, goes to sweep this and top edges it straight up over the pitch. Bishnoi backpedals into short mid-on and gets his body and hands into an awkward position before adjusting to get two hands around it while tumbling backwards. Bishnoi's body was in a total tangle and made that catch far tougher than it should have been but made up for it with his hand-eye coordination and athleticism. 127/411.3 126 kph delivery lands short and wide, slaps this high but not deep enough and Krunal is in place at point sweeper taking this safely at chest height two yards inside the rope. Carbon copy dismissal to how Shikhar fell earlier except Raza is right-handed. 109/315.2 full on the stumps, Livingstone misses a slog and a huge lbw shout is upheld. Livingstone calls for DRS but simply because they've got two reviews left and only 28 balls left in the chase. This one is stone dead hitting him on the back leg in front of middle and off. Ball-tracking shows this ripping out the middle of middle stump. If the review was called for in a different context with the match still very much alive, it would go down as one of the worst reviews of all time. Regardless, it is still a shockingly bad review for a ball so obviously out. 152/516.6 slower ball lands full on middle, Curran checks a drive fooled by the lack of pace at 107 kph and the ball balloons over extra cover. Simple catch for Badoni taken crouching down at thigh height. 178/617.5 knee high full toss outside leg, Jitesh shuffles outside leg trying to create room to drive inside out but picks out mid-off on the ring at head height. KL Rahul takes the catch after doing a little bunny hop to get his hands and head in line with the ball. 192/719.5 knee high full toss on the legs at 137 kph, Shahrukh tries to heave this over the leg side rope but picks out the fielder at deep midwicket who settles under this three yards inside the rope for a basic catch at chest height to seal a 56-run win. 201/1017.6 139 kph full on fourth stump, shuffles across to heave this to the leg side and picks out the long-on fielder 10 yards inside the rope for a simple waist height catch. 193/818.4 bullseye! Slower ball at 107 kph lands full on middle, Rabada is through a drive very early and middle stump is struck two-thirds of the way up knocking it out of the ground. 197/9Extras13 (lb 4, nb 2, w 7)TOTAL201 all out (19.5 Overs, RR: 10.13)Did not bat: Gurnoor BrarFall of wickets: 1-3 (Shikhar Dhawan, 0.5 ov), 2-31 (Prabhsimran Singh, 3.4 ov), 3-109 (Sikandar Raza, 11.3 ov), 4-127 (Atharva Taide, 12.6 ov), 5-152 (Liam Livingstone, 15.2 ov), 6-178 (Sam Curran, 16.6 ov), 7-192 (Jitesh Sharma, 17.5 ov), 8-193 (Rahul Chahar, 17.6 ov), 9-197 (Kagiso Rabada, 18.4 ov), 10-201 (M Shahrukh Khan, 19.5 ov)
