- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 Loosener is slapped straight to Lomror at cover point. It was short and wide at 92kph, Abhishek went back and tried to cut it hard. The ball looped off the bat without gaining elevation, Lomror went on one knee and took a low catch. A dejected Abhishek walks back. 27/14.3 Another softy, this time Tripathi slog-paddles it from outside off and finds short fine leg. He went across early and Bracewell went into the pitch. Tripathi tried going through with the shot but it ballooned and dipped again after going off the bat for a low catch. 28/212.5 Markram misses the reverse and Shahbaz hits the off pole. He's chuffed with his comeback. Length ball around off straightened a bit, Markram tried to rise with the ball and lifted his back leg as he lost balance. He noticed the ball was too close and tried to close the gap between his wrists and his torso but missed it completely and the stump was rattled. 104/318.5 Dipping yorker beats Klaasen's swing, hits the base of middle. Harshal turns back and applauds. Brilliant innings. He leaves to a rousing reception from the crowd and team-mates alike. Slower one, Klaasen tried to make room as he tried to swipe it across 178/419.6 Pulled in the air, Parnell settles under it and takes an easy low catch at deep backward square. Phillips reviews just as a formality to check if it was the second bouncer over the shoulder for the over. Replay shows it was at rib-height. Fair ball, Siraj ends with figures of 1 for 17. 186/5Extras6 (b 1, w 5)TOTAL186/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.3)Fall of wickets: 1-27 (Abhishek Sharma, 4.1 ov), 2-28 (Rahul Tripathi, 4.3 ov), 3-104 (Aiden Markram, 12.5 ov), 4-178 (Heinrich Klaasen, 18.5 ov), 5-186 (Glenn Phillips, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR17.5 Hundred and out, Kohli's skied a pull and it's taken by Phillips at deep forward square. It was head-high bouncer that Kohli tried to launch in front of square. Phillips was well within the cushion. Kohli walks back with a smile into the dugout 172/118.2 Slow and full, Faf tries to launch it away but holes out at long-off. He screamed in agony right after hitting it. Swiped across and saucered it high. Tripathi falls back on the ground with the ball nestled in front of his chest. 177/2Extras7 (b 2, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL187/2 (19.2 Overs, RR: 9.67)Fall of wickets: 1-172 (Virat Kohli, 17.5 ov), 2-177 (Faf du Plessis, 18.2 ov)
