- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR19.2 superb catch by Soumya Sarkar in the deep! It was a short of length slower ball outside off, Rohit went for the heave and middled it too, but Sarkar was in the deep and ran to his left, went low and got both his hands under the ball nicely with a forward dive to take that! 158/51.3 oh beauty, that's gone right through! This one swung in unlike the first two balls but from similar length and found the wide gap between Dhawan's bat and pad as he looked to drive down the ground. Ball swings in and gets top of off stump 4/14.3 mistimes it to mid-off, the captain has struck and the ground as erupted like a volcano! It was pitched up, Kohli looked to clear mid-off with less than two overs left for Powerplay but didn't get the middle at all. Easy catch! 22/27.5 middle stump gone! Mahmudullah bowled it pretty slow again from round the wicket, Raina came well out of the crease to drive down the ground but got nowhere close to the ball that came in instead of turning away and snuck through the bat-pad gap! 42/314.5 Yuvraj finally connects, but it's straight to deep midwicket! Yuvraj went with the spin like he usually does against left-arm spinners and smacked it nicely but needed more power to go over the fielder. Sarkar was a few yards inside the boundary and caught it easily 97/419.4 straight down long-on's throat! Pandya gets a full delivery, hammers it down the ground and finds Mahmudullah who was a few yards inside the boundary 158/6Extras7 (b 1, lb 3, w 3)TOTAL166/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.3)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Shikhar Dhawan, 1.3 ov), 2-22 (Virat Kohli, 4.3 ov), 3-42 (Suresh Raina, 7.5 ov), 4-97 (Yuvraj Singh, 14.5 ov), 5-158 (Rohit Sharma, 19.2 ov), 6-158 (Hardik Pandya, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 another one - Sarkar is caught behind! Bumrah banged in a short ball around middle and the ball rose on Sarkar who tried to defend with a horizontal bat and the extra bounce took the glove 15/22.2 and Nehra strikes! The off stump is knocked back. Mithun targeted the leg side with a swipe but did not connect. Nehra angled the ball across the right-hander, pitched on a good length just outside off and swung it back to hit off stump. He's swung it so much this evening and always looked like getting a wicket 9/114.1 that must be the easiest catch of the match! Sabbir stays back and pulls the short ball with some power, gets a top edge and that goes high and behind him for Dhoni to take it easily 82/59.5 top-edge goes high and easy catch for Yuvraj at fine leg! Went ahead with the sweep but the ball wasn't that full and the bounce gets a top edge 50/312.3 Shakib is run out, did he slip in the middle of the pitch? He tucked the ball towards midwicket and took off for the single, but Sabbir didn't respond. Shakib tries to turn around but it's too late as Rohit is the fielder with a quick throw 73/416.3 straight to Rohit in the deep! Mahmudullah slogs a leg-side full toss and doesn't get the distance as he takes the aerial route this time 100/616.4 two in two for Nehra! Mortaza gets a fullish delivery and he drives that uppishly straight to point 100/7Extras10 (lb 4, w 6)TOTAL121/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.05)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Mohammad Mithun, 2.2 ov), 2-15 (Soumya Sarkar, 3.2 ov), 3-50 (Imrul Kayes, 9.5 ov), 4-73 (Shakib Al Hasan, 12.3 ov), 5-82 (Sabbir Rahman, 14.1 ov), 6-100 (Mahmudullah, 16.3 ov), 7-100 (Mashrafe Mortaza, 16.4 ov)
