2.4 to Shubman Gill, Gill picks out mid-off! Hazlewood has been all over Gill today, and gets the wicket he deserves. This is full outside off and Gill can't time it as he tries to loft it down the ground. Marsh backtracks a bit and takes it reverse-cupped. 20/1
4.3 to SA Yadav, Hazlewood has his man after all! SKY's second life doesn't last more than a ball! Beautiful outswinger outside off and SKY fends with frozen feet. Big nick and this time Inglis makes no mistake. India have lost three inside the powerplay already. 32/3
4.5 to NT Tilak Varma, Skies it, and it's taken! Josh Hazlewood is dismantling India in the powerplay! Thilak looks to flick this away, but only manages a top edge behind. Inglis runs a long way to his right but settles under it. 32/4
403929.75113200
15.2 to Harshit Rana, Short, wide and toe-ended to long-on. Rana finally has to go as Bartlett's slower ball does the trick. He had to go for a big shot there, and can't get the connection or distance he would have liked there. 35 off 33 coming in with India in trouble will not go down as the shoddiest of performances!. 105/6
15.4 to S Dube, Oh, great catch and Bartlett is off in celebrations! Back of length on leg and seaming away, Dube was just hanging his bat out to fend and catches a thick edge. Inglis dives to his left and holds on to a difficult chance. 109/7
3.402125.72113000
3.3 to SV Samson, And looks like he's got him a third time! But Samson reviews it. This length ball jagged in some ways from outside off to beat the inside edge as Samson played all around it. Hits him above the knee roll on his back pad. And ball tracking has that crashing into middle stump! India lose Sanju Samson, and a review. Samson's push up the order doesn't work today. 23/2
18.3 to Abhishek Sharma, That's plumb! And a fantastic knock that comes to an end. Abhishek reviews though. This was a yorker around leg, and hits him on the front toe. And ball-tracking has it crashing into middle stump. That India's score has some semblance of respectability today, is down to Abhishek Sharma. Stunning knock, but he'll feel he should have faced more deliveries. 125/9
402416.00101110
16.5 to Kuldeep Yadav, Good catch! Kuldeep went for the pull as Stoinis goes short and across and sub fielder Abbott dives in front from midwicket to pouch that. Good low catch, diving in front and getting his hands under it. 110/8

12.4 to MJ Owen, Full outside off, hint of shape away as Owen drives and the finger goes up ever so late! Owen has a word with Stoinis before reviewing. That was a very late decision by the umpire. Owen had a big swipe at it. And Snicko confirms a thin edge! Bumrah picks up a wicket. 124/5
12.5 to MW Short, What a corker! Yorks him first ball! Rocket of a yorker on middle at 137kph and Short falls short as he tries to get his bat down on time. And all of a sudden, Jasprit Bumrah is on a hat-trick!. 124/6

4.3 to TM Head, Great catch at long-off! Tilak Varma with some great footwork at the boundary line there! Tossed up on the stumps, Head backs away and goes downtown but doesn't get the distance on it. Tilak is running to his left, grabs it and knows he's going over the rope, so tosses it up, gets back into the field of play and grabs it.. 51/1
8.4 to TH David, Oh, he's chipped it back to the bowler! Googly around middle, David looks to play a front-foot defence and it comes off high on the bat straight back to Varun, who has the last laugh!. 90/3
3.2045213.5053300
7.6 to MR Marsh, Another on? No! He's picked out long-off. Kuldeep tosses up this googly outside off and Marsh has to reach for it as he tries to go down the ground again. Ends up hitting it high into the night sky and Abhishek runs in from long-off to settle under it. 87/2
11.3 to JP Inglis, Quicker one, and Inglis misses it altogether as he tries to work it off the back foot. This time, India review. But I think that pitched outside leg. Could be close on that front, actually. I take my words back! That was pitching in line! And it's three reds on ball-tracking! Hitting leg stump too! Inglis has to go. Good review, and Kuldeep picks up a second. 112/4
