27.1 to Jiwanjot Singh, what a lovely delivery, that's a gem from Dinda, back of a length delivery, pitched on middle and off and gets Jiwanjot on front foot, good amount of bounce there. Jiwanjot expects a straighter one but this one just moves away a bit from him, got the outside edge and the Samantray dives to his right and takes a sensational catch. 50/1

84.1 to UBT Chand, And finally a wicket for East, Nadeem got Unmukt! tossed up on middle and that turns away a bit, Chand steps out and plays against the spin and tries to heave it over the midwicket region, leading edge and skies it towards wide of mid-off, Gupta settles under it and took it comfortably.. 248/2 164.2 to R Dhawan, lovely delivery, that's the arm ball from Nadeem, flatter which was pitched on off and draw the batsman on front foot, Dhawan not able to read it and it went through his defence, finally some laugh for Nadeem as the others keep on disappointing him by dropping catches and also not to forget that simple stumping miss.. 500/5 174.2 to S Ladda, flighted delivery from Nadeem, round the wicket, pitched on middle stump and holds the line, Ladda gets forward and pushes back towards the bowler, Nadeen bends down to his right and takes good low catch, third umpire been called, looks fine in the replay and he walks off. 521/8
Sunny Gupta	46	4	182	4	3.95	173	11	5	0	1
Ian Dev's knock comes to an end, flatter delivery, pitched on middle stump, Ian Dev comes out and tries to hoick it over midwicket, not to the pitch of the delivery and it's going away from him, toe end of the bat and skies over the bowler's head, Samantray runs from long-on and took a good catch, umpire checked for the front foot no-ball, it's good!. 237/1 127.6 to Mandeep Singh, Mandeep walks off finally, flighted delivery, down leg, tries to work it through square leg, gets the inside edge and ricochet to the pad and short leg is well alert, good smart catch by Pallav Das, after a check with the third umpire it's been given, very close indeed as it hits the toe end of the bat. 372/3 159.3 to ID Singh, Ian Dev's knock comes to an end, flatter delivery, pitched on middle stump, Ian Dev comes out and tries to hoick it over midwicket, not to the pitch of the delivery and it's going away from him, toe end of the bat and skies over the bowler's head, Samantray runs from long-on and took a good catch, umpire checked for the front foot no-ball, it's good!. 480/4 167.2 to Harbhajan Singh, Harbhajan gone with an ugly hoick! flighted delivery, round the wicket, he gets down on one knee and try to launch it over the midwicket, pitched on middle, plays for the spin and this time Gupta keeps it straight, top edge and went high in the sky over the keeper's head, Samantray who was at first slip took it comfortably. 509/6 171.6 to MM Sharma, flighted delivery, round the wicket, pitched on middle stump and straightens, Mohit gets forward and tries to defend it but his bat was behind the front pad, no doubt in that, plumb infront and an another wicket for Sunny Gupta. 518/7
