Wiese to S Smith, FOUR, fine shot! This was the slower ball, the off-cutter in fact, Smith walks across his stumps, gets inside the line and glances it fine, the fielder was inside the circle and he had no chance of stopping that

4.5 -

Starc to D Kulkarni, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! That is a Starc special. Not much Kulkarni could do with that. Starc round the wicket and fires in the yorker, Kulkarni stays leg-side of the ball and fails to squeeze it out, the off-stump is uprooted. RAJ on the verge of being bowled out. That delivery was bowled at 143.3kph. D Kulkarni b Starc 1(2)
18.5 -
Harshal Patel to Faulkner, out Caught by D Karthik!! A stunner from DK. Faulkner can't believe that he has been dismissed. The umpires are going upstairs, but Faulkner is walking back. Looks like they wanted to check for the catch, it is and the batsman has to go. The slower ball from Patel, Faulkner walked across the stumps, scoops it to the left of the keeper, Karthik dives full length and grabs it with one-hand. He anticipated that early which made it easier for him to go for the catch. Faulkner c D Karthik b Harshal Patel 4(5)
17.5 -
Starc to Binny, out Caught by Wiese!! Starc gets another. Second of the over. RAJ losing their way here. Binny could not capitalize on the drop chance. Full and outside off, Binny clears his front leg and slices it off the outer half to sweeper cover, Wiese didn't have to move much to take that. Binny is not pleased, he punches his bat in anger. Binny c Wiese b Starc 20(20) [4s-2]
17.1 -
Starc to S Smith, out Caught by D Karthik!! Starc strikes with the first ball in his second spell. He has given BLR the huge breakthrough as Smith would have been dangerous at this stage of the innings. Full and angled across the right-hander, Smith shuffles across and wanted to go big over long-off, gets a thickish outside edge to the right of the keeper, DK calls for it and takes a simple catch. Smith is not happy with himself. S Smith c D Karthik b Starc 31(28) [4s-2]
12.4 -
Chahal to Samson, out Bowled!! Another one goes down. RAJ have now lost half their side. Once again a batsman falls to a poor shot. It was a flighted delivery on off and middle, Samson kneels down and goes for the slog sweep, is early into the shot, missed it completely and heard the sound of ball hitting timber. BLR have their noses in front now. Samson b Chahal 4(7)
11.2 -
I Abdulla to Deepak Hooda, out Bowled!! Knocked over! This was a nothing shot from Hooda. RAJ in a spot of bother now. Slower through the air and gets it to straighten, Hooda looks to go down town and plays down the wrong line, he misses and the ball crashes into middle-stump. BLR have pulled things back superbly. Deepak Hooda b I Abdulla 1(3)
9.5 -
Kohli to S Smith, out Nair Run Out!! 1 run completed. BLR have struck for the third time. Poor running from Nair though. This was a high full toss from Kohli, Smith drilled it to the right of sweeper cover. He was always coming back for the second run, Nair was late in responding. Harshal fires a superb flat return, Kohli picks up the ball and flicks it onto the stumps. Nair was always struggling. RAJ have lost their third wicket. Nair run out (Harshal Patel/Kohli) 16(14) [6s-1]
5.4 -
Chahal to Watson, out Caught by Starc!! That's a big breakthrough for BLR, Chahal gets lucky here. He dropped this one short and just outside off, Watson was quick to rock back on the pull, strikes it hard and flat, he didn't pick the gap though, Starc was placed at deep mid-wicket and he accepts the chance with glee. Watson can't believe it, he stares across towards his partner and walks off. Kohli is pumped up as he hugs his young bowler. Watson c Starc b Chahal 26(22) [4s-4 6s-1]
5.0 -
Harshal Patel to Rahane, out Lbw!! That's a big wicket for BLR. RAJ's top-scorer has been dismissed. This was the slower ball from Patel, he rolled his fingers around the seam, Rahane was looking to work it towards the on-side, misses and is struck in front of middle, the height wasn't an issue, the ball must have been going on to hit the middle and leg stump. Easy call for umpire Ravi. Rahane lbw b Harshal Patel 18(12) [4s-2 6s-1]
15.1 -
Wiese to Binny, 2 runs, dropped! That was a sitter. A back of a length delivery on off, Binny walks down the wicket and lofts it on the up to long-on, he got it off the toe-end and didn't get the timing right, Abdulla steadied himself under it and spilled it. The entire BLR dugout was amassed by that effort
9.1 -
Chahal to Nair, 1 run, that's a chance, but Chahal went one-handed and shelled it, this was tossed up and just outside off, driven to the right of the bowler. He sticks his right hand and drops it, the ball rolls away towards long-on
