17.6 to KL Rahul, just reward for Rajppot. He has hardly erred with his wide lines to Rahul. He shuffles wide this time to try to go over point but doesn't get power behind this open-face shot, and is caught at the square third man boundary. 194/2 | ||||||||||

16.3 to MA Agarwal, follows him as he attempts a yokrer. He ends up bowling a low full toss but he has successfully managed to cramp Agarwal, taking his arms away from him. Agarwal still attempts a six, but ends up holing out to deep midwicket. 183/1 | ||||||||||

| Sheldon Cottrell | 3 | 0 | 52 | 1 | 17.33 | 8 | 3 | 6 | 3 | 0 |
2.2 to JC Buttler, the Cottrell salute comes out. This is a nice shot to a length ball on off, across the line but that is fair game. He has timed it well, but Sarfaraz takes a sharp low catch square leg. 19/1 | ||||||||||
| Mohammed Shami | 4 | 0 | 53 | 3 | 13.25 | 8 | 4 | 4 | 1 | 0 |
16.1 to SV Samson, oh heartbreaking. Samson has perished. Shami is having a great IPL. Bouncer, not a slower ball, so Samson's idea is good to go for the ramp. But he gets extra bounce, and hits the glove before hitting the bat. And then the toe end of the bat, and then Rahul takes the catch. 161/3 18.1 to RV Uthappa, what a weak shot from Uthappa. Can you believe he has holed out to long-off at Sharjah to a ball right in his slot? This is just a chip. Need to be going harder at them. That is a poor shot. This ball is right in the sweet slot. 203/4 18.6 to R Tewatia, oh man, the greatest 40 minutes of commentary have come to an end. Tewatia has found deep midwicket with the pull, but he has made sure they win the match. Fifty-three off 31 after everybody wanted him thrown into the Gulf. Take a bloody bow, sir. You are a beautiful beautiful player. Storytellers kill for guys like you. 222/5 | ||||||||||

| James Neesham | 4 | 0 | 40 | 1 | 10.00 | 5 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
8.6 to SPD Smith, Smith picked his spots in that previous Neesham over, but it is not so easy when the field is spread out. Neesham keeps bowling wide legcutters to him. He looks to go over the off side but he has to manufacture all the pace. He can't. Caught at deep cover. 100/2 | ||||||||||
| Murugan Ashwin | 1.3 | 0 | 16 | 1 | 10.66 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
19.2 to R Parag, oh he sweeps. Ashwin slips in the googly after showing him the gap square on the leg side. Had to take the risk. Parag bit the bait. Bowled neck and crop. 222/6 | ||||||||||
