    15.4 short of length outside off, Parthiv looks to go over extra cover, flat-bats it but mistimes and hence cannot clear Watson at extra cover, who pedals back a bit and takes it comfortably 124/4
    2.3 got him! Chahar has been testing him outside off and he gets him. In the channel, some shape away and Kohli is drawn irresistibly into an expansive drive. Gets a healthy edge and Dhoni tumbles to his right to hold on. 11/1
    6.5 Faf catches it at the long-off boundary. Right at the edge of the boundary too! AB was coming down the track and Jadeja shortened his length a bit and possibly gave it a rip. It spins away from AB, who gets a toe-end while trying to go over the top. Faf stays still at the boundary and catches it over his head. Didn't move his feet and it's safe 58/2
    12.4 a touch fuller outside off, comes down the track and looks to clear long-off, stays inside the line of the ball but cannot middle it, du Plessis comes in a few steps and takes it tumbling forward 99/3
    16.3 fuller outside off, spinning away from the batsman was he looks to go over long-off but fails to middle. Du Plessis at long-off takes the catch but realises momentum is taking him over the boundary line and therefore throws it towards substitute Shorey who is right next to him waiting for it and completes the catch. The umpires are checking upstairs, the soft signal is out and that's a clean catch 126/5
    19.5 length outside off, slower one at 105 kph, Moeen clears his front leg and looks to go over long-off but doesn't time it well and an easy catch for Thakur at long-off 160/7
    18.6 short of length outside off, looks to cut it away but ends up edging it towards backward point where Rayudu takes an easy catch 150/6

    0.5 got him! Steyn strikes in his first over again, and this time Stoinis holds on at slip. He had dropped Lynn against KKR in Steyn's comeback match. In the corridor and with the late swing, Watson is tempted into the expansive cover drive, but can only edge it. The ball's travelling but Stoinis does well to hold it with both hands above his head. 6/1
    3.6 Akshdeep runs into AB, but AB still holds on to the skier Faf tried to pull that, but it wasn't short enough to swat across the line and he just gets a top edge. It goes steepling high, AB runs in and has settled under it at a short mid-on position and catches it. Akshdeep is running in from midwicket and collides with AB, who merely jogs off with the ball in hand as if he didn't feel a thing. 17/3
    0.6 full, fast and bye bye Raina Make that four wickets in the Powerplay for Steyn. This is an inch-perfect yorker at 144 kph. Raina's bat is coming down an eon after the ball's got there and his stumps lie shattered. Steyn is pumped - and what a sight that is. 6/2

    13.1 fuller on the leg stump, Rayudu comes forward and looks to flick it towards midwicket, misses and the ball ricochets off the pads to clatter into the off stump 83/5
    5.5 dolly to de Villiers good length outside off and Jadhav went for a cross-batted heave. Didn't have the room to play it, wasn't the right length either. Gets a top edge that loops to AB at mid-off for an easy catch. 28/4

    16.4 short of length outside off, Dhoni goes for the pull but mistimes it towards short midwicket, Dhoni sets off, Jadeja commits before Dhoni decides against it, Saini is quick to the ball and does the wise thing by running up to the stumps and dislodging the bails to find Jadeja stranded mid-pitch 108/6
    18.6 length outside off, Bravo looks to pull it away but gets an outside edge that flies towards Parthiv who leaps off and takes it with both hands 136/7
    19.6 Dhoni looks to steer it behind point and misses but they go for the bye. Shardul sprints towards the other end, Parthiv Patel hits the stumps direct, Shardul dives but cannot make it. Coming to the ball, it was a length ball outside off, looked like an offcutter, and bounced once more before reaching Parthiv, who was waiting for it with his right glove off 160/8
