2.5 to Ishan Kishan, Kishan can't take off either. Went for the boundary option and clothed it to cover. Duffy chops the air in delight. 123ks length ball just outside off. Kishan was coming down the track, a pre-meditated move, and the ball got big on him as he tried to flat-bat it over extra.. 27/2
15.4 to HH Pandya, Hardik's cameo ends! He goes like he stayed. Hard-length offcutter at 121ks at the body. Hardik stood back in the crease and pulled it. Got it off the sticker, deep midwicket takes it a few metres inside the boundary. 185/6
4054213.50630
1.5 to SV Samson, Straight to midwicket! This was a slot ball. Seam up. 130ks at the stumps. Samson stayed in the crease and flicked it. Didn't follow through with the shot. Couldn't keep it down either, easy catch for Ravindra. Jamieson is pumped. Samson doesn't start the series well.. 18/1
13.4 to S Dube, Leading edge right back to the bowler. 122ks back of length cutter at the body, Dube went back and tried to nudge it leg side, too early into the shot. The runs keep coming for India but wickets have been regular too. 166/5
4040110.00800
17.5 to AR Patel, Mitchell takes it at long-off. Was a fullish ball outside off that Axar tried to reach out to. Couldn't fully do it and ended up skying it. 209/7
3038112.66310
11.6 to Abhishek Sharma, Very high, not far enough! Long-on takes it and Abhishek's 84 off 35 ends. He knew that was gone right off the bat. Was a legbreak on a length at middle and off, he tried to launch it mostly with a vertical bat again. He nailed that a lot of times tonight, not this one. 149/4

10.4 to SA Yadav, SKY holes out to long-on. Came down to the fullish stock ball at the stumps. Given air by Santner. SKY looked to drive it over long-on but mistimed it. Robinson ran forward and took a diving catch. 126/3

0.2 to DP Conway, Edge... Samson takes a low catch to the left. He didn't step across, just dove the left and got it in his left hand. Was a 132ks fullish ball well wide of off. Conway reaching away for the cover drive. Didn't check the shot and nearly lost his bottom hand. Snicked off.. 0/1
2020110.00510
1.3 to R Ravindra, Ravindra edges to slip and Hardik waves goodbye. 133ks seam-up ball on a length at leg stump. Ravindra charged down the pitch and got cramped for room, went through with the straight drive on top of the bounce. Got a thick edge to first slip. 1/2

3.3042112.00510
13.3 to GD Phillips, Phillips yells right after hitting as he knew he mistimed this. Dube moved to his right, fell on his right knee and took it low. Was a length ball angling in at the stumps, Phillips looking to pull it, doesn't get all of it. Hit just under the sticker. Axar pumps his fists. 131/4
403729.25700
6.3 to TB Robinson, Robinson charges and falls. Looked to heave it across with a cross-bat, ball went off the sticker, blade turned inside too and the ball went to midwicket. 95ks legbreak with a cross-seam from Varun. Slightly short, sped off the pitch. 52/3
14.5 to MS Chapman, Straight up. Abhishek comes in across from long-on and takes it. Chapman charged down and had a horizontal swipe across. Stock ball landed around leg and rose off the pitch. Chapman couldn't deal with the bounce and got a top edge.. 143/5
302829.33500
19.3 to DJ Mitchell, Wide and fullish, Mitchell takes a step across and launches a drive off the bottom of the bat. Bishnoi runs left from long-off, takes it and runs along the boundary to SKY's delight. 189/6
19.4 to KDC Clarke, Full toss has been slapped straight to long-on. Clarke's back foot was on the tramline, Dube's plan has been to bowl wide anyway, so he went for the yorker. Clarke hit it from knee-height, not perfectly timed. Two in two for Dube. 189/7
