- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.5 oh this is in the slot. Offbreak but with a scrambled seam. Rohit sees it right in his arc. Full enough, just outside off. It is right there for the slog, but perhaps because of the scrambled seam, the ball holds its line instead of turning in. He ends up slicing it in the air, and extra cover runs to his left to take the catch. Same man who dropped him earlier: King 59/21.5 now Cottrell can pull out the salute. Kishan's struggle ends. Again he looks to work a straight ball away to leg. The last time he saw the risk and aborted. But how long can you do that in T20? He turns the bat face this time, and the ball swings away a touch to take the leading edge to point 10/113.4 through the gate as Kohli looks to push a single. This is comprehensive. Beaten in the air and off the pitch. Not quite to the pitch and ends up almost walking at it. Beaten by the turn, and bowled middle stump 106/49.5 dipping on Chase but he catches it. Surya is walking back but the umpires want to check the replays. Soft signal is out. The length is not quite there for the drive but Surya tries to force it. The ball turns in to hit the inner half of the bat for a low return catch. Replays show he has got his long fingers under it. So Surya has to keep walking 72/319.3 the change-up after those wide yorkers. Bowls the straight yorker this time, Iyer is already shuffling across to access the wide lines. Is surprised by the line and misses this. Off stump goes for a walk 182/5Extras19 (b 5, lb 3, nb 2, w 9)TOTAL186/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.3)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Ishan Kishan, 1.5 ov), 2-59 (Rohit Sharma, 7.5 ov), 3-72 (Suryakumar Yadav, 9.5 ov), 4-106 (Virat Kohli, 13.4 ov), 5-182 (Venkatesh Iyer, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.3 strikes in his first over. King goes down the track and looks to take on long-on. Couldn't get to the pitch of the ball and as a result didn't get the required power behind it. A straightforward catch for Suryakumar 59/25.1 Chahal strikes. Looked like a googly but it didn't turn much. Mayers looked to pull it aerially but managed only a top edge. Chahal settled under it near the short cover region 34/118.3 fuller outside off, angling across. Pooran looks to launch it down the ground but it was an offcutter. All he manages is a top edge and Bishnoi finally pouches one, back-pedalling from extra cover and falling back as he takes it 159/3Extras14 (lb 2, w 12)TOTAL178/3 (20 Overs, RR: 8.9)Fall of wickets: 1-34 (Kyle Mayers, 5.1 ov), 2-59 (Brandon King, 8.3 ov), 3-159 (Nicholas Pooran, 18.3 ov)
