- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.3 zing bails go flying, and Chahar breaks through! Back of a length, pitching outside off and coming in with the angle. Arya has a slog at it but seems to be early on the stroke. Might have been a knuckle ball, which explains why Arya was through the shot early. The ball crashes into the top of middle and leg, and Arya has to go! 50/111.2 Prabhsimran perishes while accelerating. Got across to off stump and cleared the front leg to try and slog the 130ks cross-seamer over midwicket. It was a slot ball but went right up, off the outer-edge of the bat. 107/212.3 stumps rattled again, and PBKS are falling apart! Hard length on middle and leg, and this skips through. Connolly looks to force the issue through the off side but is late on the stroke. Beaten for pace and the ball breezes past the outside edge before thumping into the top of off. Bawa with a muted celebration, and PBKS lose their fourth! 111/411.4 Pat Cummins would be proud of that! 132ks length ball angles in, lands on off stump and straightens despite being a cross-seamer to kiss top of off. Add 10ks to that and that's Cummins to Root from 2019. Four off the stumps to deep-third boundary. Shreyas was in the crease and looked to defend to cover, played the line and missed it, instinctively took off for the run only to turn back and see the bails missing. 111/313.2 oh, what a stunning grab, and Shardul, just like that, has three! Full and slanting into the pads. Shedge laces his flick but the only problem is he hits it in the air and too close to Bawa at mid wicket. The youngster flies to his left and makes it stick. Shedge cannot believe it and MI, who began the night by dropping a sitter, have now taken a sharp catch to pile further misery on PBKS! 123/514.4 rapped on the pad, and given! Shashank reviews! Back of a length in the channel and this decks back in, while also keeping a little low. Shashank, hopping around his crease, misses it. He might have a prayer, though, because the impact may have been outside the line. There is a spike on UltraEdge before the ball hits the pad but the bat is not close enough to the ball at that moment. Umpire's Call on Impact, and Ball Tracking has the ball crashing into the top of off. Shashank has to go, and Bosch has his first wicket for the evening! 135/617.6 chipped to long on, and Omarzai's party is over! Full toss on off and this is there to be hit too. Ought to have been thumped into the mountains but Omarzai does not get under it enough. Hits it flat and hits it straight to long on. A very handy cameo, but someone else will have to shepherd this innings now! 166/816.2 another nip-backer, and Jansen is outta here too! This one, like the ball that got Shashank, also keeps low. Shortish outside off and Jansen's eyes light up. He thinks he can swat this over cow corner but the lack of bounce and the inward nip means his stumps are exposed. Ball ends up hitting middle stump two-thirds of the way up, and Shardul has four! 140/7Extras13 (b 5, lb 1, w 7)TOTAL200/8 (20 Overs, RR: 10)Fall of wickets: 1-50 (Priyansh Arya, 5.3 ov), 2-107 (Prabhsimran Singh, 11.2 ov), 3-111 (Shreyas Iyer, 11.4 ov), 4-111 (Cooper Connolly, 12.3 ov), 5-123 (Suryansh Shedge, 13.2 ov), 6-135 (Shashank Singh, 14.4 ov), 7-140 (Marco Jansen, 16.2 ov), 8-166 (Azmatullah Omarzai, 17.6 ov)
- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.3 Stand and deliver - Rohit stands, Yuzi delivers. Yuzi jumps in delight as a smiling Shreyas approaches. 96ks legbreak lands on a length on middle and off and turns away. Rohit was stagnant as he tried to drive it through cover, lost his bottom hand while finishing. His struggle ends 88/36.3 Rickelton perishes for the cause, and Omarzai breaks this threatening stand! Fullish on middle and leg. Rickelton gets down on one knee, trying to help it over deep square leg. Does not get the elevation he wants, though, and he could not have picked out Arya better at deep backward square leg. Big, big moment in the game! 61/18.5 miscued pull, and Jansen breaks through! Sharp short ball on off and this gets big on Dhir. He looks to swipe it away but the bounce is tough to control. Skews it off the top edge and the ball spoons up to deep backward square leg, where Arshdeep does the rest. PBKS go back-to-back! 81/216.3 no need to review this, because Rutherford is outta here! Fullish outside off and Rutherford looks to go downtown. The bat face opens a little upon contact, though, and Rutherford arrows it straight down Bartlett's throat at long off. Massive wicket, with Rutherford threatening a heist, and PBKS just nudge ahead in this contest again! 149/4Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL205/4 (19.5 Overs, RR: 10.33)Fall of wickets: 1-61 (Ryan Rickelton, 6.3 ov), 2-81 (Naman Dhir, 8.5 ov), 3-88 (Rohit Sharma, 9.3 ov), 4-149 (Sherfane Rutherford, 16.3 ov)
