13.1 -
Murugan Ashwin to S Billings, FOUR, Billings uses his feet but did not quite get to the pitch of the delivery. Manages to flat bat it straight past the bowler, hit this one really hard, no chance for long-off
5.3 -
Boland to Nair, FOUR, well, did it keep a touch low? Anyway, Nair ekes out an outside edge that vrooms away to the third man fence. Boland gets a hint of seam movement back into Nair and perhaps got it to straighten a touch, Nair's edge ran away to the fences
5.0 -
Dinda to Nair, no ball, FOUR, Dinda perhaps tried an in-dipping slower one, but lost his radar as he bowls it above waist height, Nair pulls it to the deep backward square leg fence. Now, we have a free-hit in place
4.1 -
Dinda to Nair, FOUR, unruffled elegance on show. Nair picks the swing early and drives it all along the carpet and the ball vrooms away to the sweeper cover boundary. He used his feet there
3.5 -
Boland to Samson, FOUR, Boland steams into the crease and bangs it on a back of a length, but it was drifting down leg, Samson tickles it to the fine leg fence
3.3 -
Boland to Nair, FOUR, Nair twins timing and placement to crack a superb drive. Fuller length delivery and outside off, Nair's eyes traces the line through the cover-region with his drive and it runs away
2.5 -
Dinda to Nair, FOUR, full and subsidized with width, Nair tries to slap and gets a thick outside edge into the third man fence. The fielder in the deep had no chance there

1.2 -
T Perera to Samson, FOUR, a hint of away-swing from Perera, Samson aims to slap it through the off-side and gets a thickish outside edge past the slip fielder and into the fences. There was width on offer, but Samson did not get it off the sweet spot of the willow
19.2 -
Dinda to Negi, SIX, he did not time it well. But had enough legs on it to clear Rahane at long-on. Slower length delivery and Negi heaved at it, mistimed but will add six to the total
16.4 -
Boland to Brathwaite, SIX, do not believe the news reports if they tell you of UFO sightings in Delhi. They are just these sixes off Brathwaite's bat. Cleared his front leg and clubbed this half-volley over the long-off fence
16.0 -
Murugan Ashwin to Brathwaite, SIX, and another one to cap off the over. Similar to the previous six, just a touch higher. Brathwaite has enough muscles to clear the small boundaries at Kotla. To make things easier, it was full toss from the leggie
15.4 -
Murugan Ashwin to Brathwaite, SIX, why would you bowl a floater to him? In his arc and out of the park! Brathwaite got underneath and dispatched it over the long-on fence
12.4 -
Ashwin to S Billings, SIX, and another one, this time towards long-off. Danced down the track but was not quite there to the pitch of the ball, managed to flat bat this shortish ball over the long-off fence with ease
12.3 -
Ashwin to S Billings, SIX, sinks down on his knee this time and then flogs it over the deep mid-wicket fence, huge hit this one from Billings
17.5 -
Ashwin to Negi, out Jayant Yadav Run Out!! 1 run completed. Another one bites the dust and it is that man Saurabh Tiwary who has effected a direct hit at the non-striker's end. Negi softly tucked this through square and completed the first run with ease, got too greedy and took on the arm of Tiwary, Jayant Yadav had to pay the price for it as he fell short at the bowler's end on a direct hit. Jayant Yadav run out (S Tiwary) 1(3)
17.0 -
Boland to Duminy, out Duminy Run Out!! 1 run completed. Slower ball angled across Duminy, he pulls it to deep mid-wicket and set off, wanted the second run. It was never there, falls well short of the crease even as he dived on a good throw from the deep. The throw came on a bounce right at the stumps from Rahane Duminy run out (Rahane/Dhoni) 34(32) [4s-1]
16.5 -
Boland to Brathwaite, out Caught by T Perera!! What an innings he has played! Hit everything out of the park and nearly got this one away as well. Just that it was a slower bouncer which is always tough to be put away. Did not get it off the meat of the bat, was not enough power behind the shot, the fielder at deep backward square leg fumbled a bit but managed to cling onto it on the second attempt. Brathwaite c T Perera b Boland 20(8) [6s-3]
14.4 -
R Bhatia to S Billings, out Caught by Rahane!! Full marks for the shot, but it did not come off well in the end. Billings changed his grip and switched as a left-hander, got underneath the ball and flogged it towards long-off (for the right-hander). For a moment, it looked as if he will clear the fence, but it did not have enough power and carried to Rahane there. S Billings c Rahane b R Bhatia 24(15) [4s-1 6s-2]
9.4 -
R Bhatia to Nair, out Caught by T Perera!! Another incision has been made. It is that man again, Bhatia, who picks up the key scalp. Nair goes inside-out, makes room and lofts it to the right of Perera at sweeper cover, who runs across and pouches a well-judged catch with both hands. Nair c T Perera b R Bhatia 32(23) [4s-5]
6.0 -
Boland to Samson, out Caught by Ashwin!! Can you believe it? Samson's strength is to play flick shots on the on-side. However, in an attempt to use the tuck, he has lost his wicket. He was just early into the shot there and that cost him dear. Short of a length delivery and on the stumps, Samson aims to clip it around the corner and mistimes it to mid-wicket, who snaffles an easy catch. Samson c Ashwin b Boland 20(17) [4s-3]
2.4 -
Dinda to Rishabh Pant, out Bowled!! Dinda is jubilant as he picks up the scalp of the man in form - Pant. Pant looks to play with a dash of bravado by aiming to heave a length delivery that curled back in a touch across the line, connected with thin air and his stumps took a knocking. He was the hero in the last game, but this time around, could not make his mark. Rishabh Pant b Dinda 2(8)
