    6.1 first ball after powerplay, and Gaikwad is gone. Axar has wickets off the first ball of both his overs. I think Gaikwad is looking to chip this over extra cover, but the ball holds up in the pitch and he ends up hitting it towards long-off. The fielder there is not all the way to the fence, which allows him to come in and take the catch 49/2
    4.1 another early sweep, beaten again, and he is given out. Conway has a chat with Gaikwad, but decides not to review. The only question perhaps is, has he got himself outside the line? I think it is umpire's call on impact. Other than he has missed the length completely, and also chosen the wrong line. In fact he has not chosen anything. He has premeditated 32/1
    11.1 sensational catch. He has dived to his right, up to where the non-striker stands. Even the umpire has made an O with his lips. One-handed skimmer. However, if he had dropped it and collected it, Dube would have been run out because he is so far down the pitch 77/4
    9.4 that's probably why they are not taking risks. Moeen skips down the wicket, Kuldeep goes slow again, 84ks, and again goes wide. Moeen has to reach out, and the turn takes the edge for a catch to backward point 64/3
    14.2 he has the field set for this ball, and finally bowls the ball for that field. Short of a length, at his body, 118ks, Dube pulls it into the big side of the ground, and toe-ends it to deep midwicket 113/5
    16.2 he has to go for big hits, and Khaleel is smart enough to drag it wide, and Rayudu sweeps it from wide outside off straight to long-on. But guess what? It has brought on huge cheers from the crowd 126/6
    19.2 same play. Same ball, Jadeja tries the same shot, but this is the slower legcutter, and not full enough. All he manages is a mi9is-hit to long-on. The crowd goes quiet 164/7
    19.5 caught at long-on. pin-drop silence. Just no pace to work with. Slower-ball legcutter, into the pitch, and Dhoni goes down the ground and finds long-on 166/8

    0.2 wicket second ball. Signs of a slow pitch. These are not slower ones but Chahar is bowling at 127ks, Short, wide, Warner wants to cut again, and again he ends up hitting in front of square. Also unable to get on top of the bounce, and hits it in the air 0/1
    2.3 what do we know? Short at 126ks can work. The line is a little wider, and the ball stops in the pitch. Salt has to drag the pull, and also the slowness of the pitch makes him check his shot. A top edge ensues, and he is caught at mid-on 20/2
    3.1 they are both at the same end. Pandey has sold a dummy to Marsh. Looks to drop and run, takes a start, and then turns his back on Marsh, who is gone too far down the pitch. Rahane does well to not throw. Imagine you are Pandey, you don't play every game, how easy or difficult is it to sacrifice yourself? 25/3
    12.6 as plumb as an lbw can get. Pandey is sitting deep in his crease again, looking for an error in length, but Pathirahna bowls a 149ks yorker. You don't really need an umpire to give this one out. A forgettable night for Pandey comes to an end 84/4
    14.3 is that the final seal on the game? Rossouw has to try a big hit, and he ends up mis-hitting this one to long-on. Actually this ball is quite in the slot, but he has played a bit of a nothing shot. Not a full-blooded sweep, not a straight loft. He is disappointed with himself 89/5
    18.5 he has got away with the top edge but he has been run out. Yet another slog, gets a massive top edge, which falls in no man's land behind the bowler, but Ripal is at the non-striker's end while Aman has not reacted. Moeen has a shy at the striker's, and catches him short 125/7
    17.5 lovely deception. Slower ball, 132ks, and Axar is early into it even though the length is right in the slot. It is just too good. Axar ends up checking the shot, and is caught at wide long-on 116/6

    19.5 finally gets one on target. A slower ball at 130ks, totally flummoxes Lait, and the length ball cannons into the middle of middle stump 140/8
