Coulter-Nile to N Ojha, FOUR, short ball with a lot of width on offer, Ojha slashes a cut which travels at the speed of light behind backward point. What was it, 3 X 10 raised to the power something. Never did well with Physics
17.3 -
Coulter-Nile to Deepak Hooda, no ball, FOUR, lovely shot. He makes room but is denied the same by NCN who follows him with a full ball. But Hooda is defiant. Slices the drive through the off-side ring, where everyone is up in the circle. What's more, NCN has overstepped as well

C Morris to Williamson, FOUR, look at how he's used the wrists to maneouver the ball over mid-wicket. First Williamson walked across outside off, then he picked a fullish ball and whipped it over the infield to split the field in the deep
13.4 -
Shami to Williamson, FOUR, rising short ball angled in towards Williamson's chest, ends up hurrying him on the pull. Catches a bit of glove and loops over de Kock into the fence
10.4 -
Mishra to Williamson, FOUR, Mishra drops it very short, and Williamson is not one to miss out despite not being in great form this season. He goes deep in the crease and pulls it hard along the turf to split long-on and deep mid-wicket
9.4 -
Duminy to Dhawan, FOUR, this is a gem of a shot from Dhawan. He has been sweeping well today, of course it was on the middle and leg and it allowed Dhawan the space of get low and sweep it into the fine leg fence
9.2 -
Duminy to Dhawan, FOUR, fine leg is inside the ring and Duminy served it on the pads of Dhawan, who crouched low and swept it with ease
8.4 -
Jayant Yadav to Warner, FOUR, that will hurt. Flatter delivery and Warner flat bats it to long-off where Morris lets it go through his legs
7.3 -
Duminy to Warner, FOUR, long-off was fairly wide and that helped Warner, he did not time this lofted shot on the flighted delivery. Had enough legs to cross the fence though
5.3 -
Coulter-Nile to Dhawan, leg byes, FOUR, tries to go for the slower delivery, missed the line a bit. Dhawan moved across and wanted to tickle it fine, won't mind as the ball kissed his pad and rushed to the fine leg fence
4.2 -
Jayant Yadav to Warner, FOUR, he is playing with the bowlers now. Moved across and forced Yadav to bowl it down the leg-side and then whipped it to the fine leg fence with ease
4.1 -
Jayant Yadav to Warner, FOUR, short ball and that has been punished. Did not time it well but managed to get enough on it to get it to the long-off fence
3.5 -
Shami to Warner, FOUR, same area, different shot. Warner waits for the back of a length delivery and then punches it past point, this one raced to the fence quicker than the previous shot, was hit with some power
3.4 -
Shami to Warner, FOUR, how well has that been timed? Did not try to hit it, stayed on the leg-side of the delivery and then just dabbed it into the ground, beat the fielder running from third man with ease
3.2 -
Shami to Dhawan, FOUR, you don't bowl there - on the pads of a batter. Half-volley on his pads and he flicks it past the fielder at mid-on. No need to run for those
14.2 -
Mishra to Yuvraj, SIX, that YUVRAj flourish is certainly back. Just a shimmy down the track, his big strides get him close to the ball and negates the risk of playing against the turn of a googly. And then he simply extends his arms to launch the ball in an arc over long-on
4.3 -
Jayant Yadav to Warner, SIX, this is the over that will put them on the pedastal. Clears his front leg this time and smacks it over the bowler's head, it just about cleared the fence

Coulter-Nile to N Ojha, out Caught by Samson!! Another full toss, gosh, what's happening to these specialized death bowlers? Yesterday, it was Jordan and now NCN. Never mind, it's done the job. Ojha has flogged it straight to deep backward square. The umpires check for the height on it but it's below waist. N Ojha c Samson b Coulter-Nile 7(9) [4s-1]

C Morris to N Ojha, out Bhuvneshwar Run Out!! Just too good. Excellent yorker which Ojha somehow squezes onto pad off an inside edge. The ball goes nowhere, but they have to go for the single for Ojha to retain strike. Morris already has a head-start over Bhuvi courtesy his followthrough. Reaches the ball first and side-foots it onto the stumps. All those warm up football sessions paying off. Bhuvneshwar run out (C Morris) 1(2)
18.3 -
C Morris to Williamson, out Bowled!! A quick full toss, at 146ks, rattles the timber. Williamson had backed away too far looking to go inside out but couldn't connect. Williamson b C Morris 27(24) [4s-3]
17.5 -
Coulter-Nile to Deepak Hooda, out Hit Wkt!! Hooda has gone so far back that his back foot ends up stomping on the stumps. Such a rare event in cricket, but now we have had 2 already in this T20 League. An innocuous slower back of a length delivery in line with off and middle, Hooda glances it towards short fine leg but not without breaking the stumps. Deepak Hooda hit wkt b Coulter-Nile 10(9) [4s-1]
15.2 -
Shami to Henriques, out Lbw!! The ball has skid on, all evening, with the sheen on the pitch. Henriques is startled by the rapidity with which it comes to him. Rather than being forward to a length ball, he's caught on the crease and is late to bring the bat down. Thuds him right on the knee-roll in front of middle. Height is the only issue but with him being so far back, the ball doesn't have much distance to travel. Gone! Henriques lbw b Shami 0(1)
15.0 -
Mishra to Yuvraj, out Caught by Rishabh Pant!! A real QUICK cross-seam ball from Mishra has consumed another Indian leftie. Fired on a back of a length on the pads, Yuvraj is startled by the pace on it - so much so that he rushes into flicking it away and spoons it off a leading edge. The ball loops up in front of backward square leg, Pant is the man there, never looked settled and ended up having to dive forward, but he holds his cool and grabs it safely. Yuvraj c Rishabh Pant b Mishra 8(8) [6s-1]
13.0 -
Mishra to Dhawan, out Caught by Samson!! Mishra strikes with a quick cross-seam delivery. Darts it on a shortish length, 114ks, hits close to the sticker on Dhawan's bat as he tries to slog and lobs up in front of deep mid-wicket where Samson runs in and pouches it safely before tumbling over. Real good catch this as he was on the move when he grabbed it. Dhawan's laboured knock comes to an end. Never looked in any kind of rhythm. Dhawan c Samson b Mishra 34(37) [4s-3]
8.5 -
Jayant Yadav to Warner, out Bowled!! He was brought for this and he has done his part just in time, before finishing his spell. It was a quicker delivery and was a bit full as well. Warner moved leg-side, like he always does, realised that it was not there to cut, tried to force it away but was too late. The ball pegged the leg-stick, leaving Warner dejected. Warner b Jayant Yadav 46(30) [4s-6 6s-1]

Coulter-Nile to Dhawan, 1 run, that would have been close . Dhawan fenced this length delivery to point and set off, Warner dived and made it in the end as the throw missed the target

Shami to Warner, 1 run, starts with a shortish delivery on the hips of Warner, he pulls it to fine leg. 3000 T20 League runs for Warner
