Over 1.2 Jayant Yadav tossed up delivery to Prithvi Shaw,1 run, gets forward and flicks it uppishly to square leg and picks up a single.

Over 1.3 Jayant Yadav tossed up delivery to Shikhar Dhawan,Six! Gets  into the loft over extra cover. Didn't try to overhit this - just timed it and got it all the way. Sublime

Over 1.6 Jayant Yadav tossed up delivery to Shikhar Dhawan, out Dhawan Run Out!! Dhawan charged down, got a shorter length that he knocked towards mid-on and wanted the single straightaway.

Over 2.4 Krunal Pandya bowls a quicker arm ball to Prithvi Shaw, out Lbw!!  The lower bounce defeated Shaw's back foot pull and struck him on the back leg. Looked a marginal call in real time but as it turns out, HawkEye shows Three Reds

Over 2.6 Krunal Pandya tossed up delivery to Rishabh Pant,Six!  Goes down on his knee and  slog sweeps cleanly over deep mid-wicket. Easily over the ropes

  Over 5.0   

Over 4.1 Nathan Coulter-Nile bowls a good length delivery to Steven Smith, out Bowled!! Smith was a tad early on the flick stroke after the shuffle across and exposed his leg pole a bit too much. Timber all over the place.

Over 4.2 Nathan Coulter-Nile bowls a good length delivery to Shreyas Iyer,1 run, shuffle as much and flicks well past square leg

Over 4.3 Nathan Coulter-Nile bowls a good length delivery to Rishabh Pant, no run, gets forward and defends softly to point

Over 4.4 Nathan Coulter-Nile bowls a good length delivery to Rishabh Pant, Boundary! Goes really hard on the pull stroke and it's never a good idea to overhit on this slow deck. Thick inside edge that goes whistling past the sticks and beats de Kock down the leg-side

Over 4.5 Nathan Coulter-Nile bowls a good length delivery to Rishabh Pant, no run, gets forward and looks for another heave, gets a big inside edge onto the back leg

Over 4.6 Nathan Coulter-Nile bowls a good length delivery to Rishabh Pant, no run, shuffled and tried to slog but missed it
