Coulter-Nile to SN Thakur, FOUR, now an inside edge to a full toss on the stumps runs away to fine leg. The fielder was inside the ring and it beat him. Coulter-Nile missed the yorker that time
15.3 -
Tahir to D Miller, FOUR, now a full toss from Tahir and Miller puts him away. Takes a step out and then heaves it powerfully along the ground, beats deep mid-wicket with ease. That was hit very hard
14.4 -
Mathews to D Miller, FOUR, Miller is targetting Mathews and gets another four. Picks the slower delivery outside off and then goes over cover. Went hard at the shot and it went one bounce over the ropes. Mathews is a disappointed man
14.1 -
Mathews to D Miller, FOUR, now Miller goes over a leaping cover. Low full toss outside off, Miller made room and cleared the fielder. Races away. Miller and Axar punch gloves
7.2 -
Mishra to D Miller, FOUR, perfectly placed sweep shot. Tossed up on middle and leg, Miller kneels down and nails the sweep in between the two boundary riders on the on-side. Deep backward square and deep mid-wicket couldn't get to the ball
6.0 -
Coulter-Nile to Bailey, FOUR, Zaheer does all the hard work and then lets it slip through his hands. He ran to his left at deep backward square leg, got there, bent down but went with one hand, tried to pick it up but the ball eluded his grasp. Again nicely clipped off the pads by Bailey
5.2 -
Coulter-Nile to Bailey, FOUR, width on offer from Coulter-Nile and Bailey cashes in. Wide outside off, Bailey rocks back and carves it over the infield. Hit deliberately in the air and it found its way to the boundary
4.1 -
Zaheer to Bailey, FOUR, this time Bailey picks the slower delivery, on middle and leg, clipped wide of square leg and it races away
0.3 -
Zaheer to S Marsh, FOUR, Marsh is off the mark with a cracking square drive. It was overpitched outside off, Marsh leant forward and opened the face to cream it wide of point. Third man had no chance
20.0 -
Tahir to Anureet Singh, SIX, the final delivery has gone for six. Sees the tossed up delivery outside off, shuffles across and then swings across the line, got enough bat to send it all the way. That is a nice finish to the innings, even though 118 is still not enough
15.2 -
Tahir to D Miller, SIX, Miller now wants to tee off. Uses his feet and then carts Tahir high and wide over mid-wicket. Got plenty of wood and went a long way back
14.0 -
Tahir to A Patel, SIX, lovely shot. Uses his feet and gets to the pitch of that googly, goes straight back over Tahir's head. Straight over the sightscreen as Axar's lofted hit goes all the way

Coulter-Nile to D Miller, out Caught by S Tiwary!! Now straight to the fielder at deep point. How often do you see that? When Miller hit it, I thought it was six. Full and wide outside off, Miller carved that with an open face and the weight was back as he leant back on the shot. Carried expertly to the fielder. Another catch taken without moving a muscle. D Miller c S Tiwary b Coulter-Nile 42(41) [4s-4 6s-1]
18.1 -
Coulter-Nile to A Patel, out Caught by M Agarwal!! Straight to long-on. Coulter-Nile has a smile on his face. It was back of a length outside off, Axar flat-batted it down Agarwal's throat. Agarwal didn't move an inch as he reverse cupped it. A Patel c M Agarwal b Coulter-Nile 22(26) [6s-1]
9.5 -
Coulter-Nile to T Perera, out Caught by S Tiwary!! Perera has picked out Saurabh Tiwary at deep square leg. Miller is asking his partner to wait though. Perera is waiting now. They have gone upstairs to check whether it was a clean catch. Pulled to the right of deep square and Tiwary sliding and tumbling to his right took it with both hands. Looks a clean take and Perera has to go. Illingworth makes the expected signal after getting a message from the tv umpire. T Perera c S Tiwary b Coulter-Nile 3(7)

Mishra to Bailey, out Lbw!! That is plumb. Given out too. Pitches on middle and beats Bailey's sweep. Bailey was struck right in front, low on the pads too. Easy call for the umpire. Bailey lbw b Mishra 18(16) [4s-3]
3.3 -
Coulter-Nile to W Saha, out Caught by K Jadhav!! Edged and gone. Nothing shot and Punjab are four down. Delhi all over Punjab like a cheap suit. Saha tried to open the face on that outside off delivery with two slips waiting and nicks off. Jadhav tumbles to his right to take a smart catch. W Saha c K Jadhav b Coulter-Nile 3(8)
3.0 -
Zaheer to Vohra, out Caught by K Jadhav!! It is 10/3 and Punjab in deep trouble. Vohra was giving the charge to Zaheer who dug it in short, the cutter grips the pitch and bounces extra, Vohra having made room could only tickle it to the keeper. Failed to deal with the extra bounce on that occasion. Zaheer is all smiles. Vohra c K Jadhav b Zaheer 1(7)
1.1 -
Duminy to S Marsh, out Lbw!! Marsh is done in by Duminy first ball. Played completely across the line to a full one from round the wicket, struck in front of leg and that would've gone onto hit the stumps. Clipping leg at best. Illingworth takes a long hard look and then makes his decision. Amidst all this, Marsh was out of his crease and the slip fielder ran him out with a direct hit. So there is an appeal on two counts. But Illingworth gave it out for lbw. Yuvraj was the fielder at slip. Marsh was definitely out of his crease. So one way or the other, Marsh was out. S Marsh lbw b Duminy 5(4) [4s-1]
0.2 -
Zaheer to Sehwag, out Caught by Mathews at short cover!! Zaheer strikes second ball. The bat face closed as the ball stopped on him a touch, he tried to defend and offers a dolly to the man close in. It was on middle on a good length and Sehwag played with hard hands. Mathews moved swiftly to his left and took it well. Sehwag c Mathews b Zaheer 1(2)

Tahir to Anureet Singh, 1 run, Yuvi has dropped a biscuit of a catch. That simple really. Incomprehensible. Anureet Singh reached out and sliced it straight up in the air, perhaps Yuvi at point peddling back took it easy. Got both hands over his head but dropped it. Can't quite believe that he has dropped that
11.4 -
Mishra to A Patel, no run, big edge and Jadhav can't hang on. Axar went for a big drive to a googly and thick-edged it behind, Jadhav couldn't get the gloves around in time. It hits the webbing and goes down. Had it not hit the glove of Jadhav may have carried to slip
17.4 -
Mathews to A Patel, 1 run, Saurabh Tiwary doesn't hit from mid-wicket and had he done so, he would've got Axar run-out. A mistimed pull to him at mid-wicket and Axar would've been out with a direct hit
16.4 -
Zaheer to A Patel, 1 run, short of length outside off, Axar charges out and mistimes the flat-batted shot through the diving cover fielder, gets a single though
