2.2 to JJ Roy, Hetmyer runs to the right from deep square leg, his hands are flailing after he runs across with the momentum taking him forward, but he manages to cling on. It was a length ball that was a cutter on a fullish length that Roy tried to help along. The flick was played on the move and that was how the catch was taken as well.. 14/1 4.1 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ripper taken by Sandeep at mid-off and Gurbaz has his bat on his head. It was a full ball that Gurbaz made room to and tried to thump over mid-off, it went flat and to the right of Sandeep, who tumbled and took it mid-air. Even Boult went 'wow' at that.. 29/2 See all photos
Sandeep Sharma	4	0	34	1	8.50	12	2	3	0	0
19.6 to SP Narine, Overpitched just outside off, Narine launches an off-drive and is unable to clear Root at long-off. It's a bread-basket catch taken with ease. 149/8

10.2 to N Rana, Swept flat in the air, Shimron lunges down and takes it at deep-backward square. Chahal is now the highest wicket-taker in the IPL. Chahal upper cuts the air in celebration. He got there with a legbreak spinning a bit towards off stump, Rana got on one knee and hit it decently but the placement was off. Didn't look like Hetmyer spotted it at first but managed to go down and take it.. 77/3 16.1 to VR Iyer, Chahal goes wide, Iyer chases and skies it to Boult, who takes a tumbling catch at cover. It was a full slider at 92kph just inside the tramline and Iyer stayed in his crease and tried to go over cover. It hit wide and high on the bat. Chahal has two. 127/5 16.4 to SN Thakur, LBW appeal turned down, Chahal's signalling the T. Samson calls for the review later. Thakur misses the sweep there and got hit just under the knee-roll of the bent front foot. It was a full ball that hit him right in front. No edge. Was it bouncing over? No, it's hitting middle and top, three reds and Thakur has to go.. 129/6 18.4 to RK Singh, The dots build and he tries to go over long-off but finds Root there. Chahal is punching the air again. It was a full ball on off, Rinku charged and went for the slash over extra but couldn't find the timing there. A few commenters asking why Chahal's on and he's done brilliantly so far. 140/7 See all photos
KM Asif	3	0	27	1	9.00	4	0	2	1	0
13.3 to AD Russell, Cut on the move, Ashwin takes a catch just over the head at backward point. Russell was on the move and was cramped by the hard-length ball angling in. He went through with the cut but got it off the edge. Ashwin's alert as ever, Asif is pumped as Russell walks back. The change of length works for Asif. 107/4
