- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.6 hasn't got all of it, and has holed out to long-off. This one might have drifted in, making him look to go straight or even long-on. The ball turns just enough to take a thick edge to long-off. Jaiswal's last 17 balls produced just 17 runs 141/32.2 big wicket. Gill beaten on the sweep, hit right in front. He doesn't even review. This ball drifts in, and then pitches and just carries on instead of straightening. Fair to say Gill has been beaten in flight. Replays show it is missing leg 29/12.3 well, make that one left-hand batter. Maharaj is on a hat-trick. Varma doing the right thing. Sees a full ball, looks to go over mid-off, but this is probably a bit too close to him and he doesn't find the elevation to clear the ring. Simple catch 29/219.2 hundred and gone. Looks to make room, Williams follows him, and he has ramped this leg-side full toss to long leg. Has found the man to perfection 194/518.3 Burger gets a first wicket. Lovely catch at fine leg too. This is short, into the body, under his armpit, and Rinku helps it along its way. It is going low, flat and to the left of fine leg where Stubbs takes a smart catch 188/419.5 he has been hit-wicket. In the last over, Jitesh went deep into his crease to create the length to drive. He tries it again, manages to loft what would have been a yorker over mid-off, but in the process his heel has stepped on the wicket. The leg bail falls off 199/719.4 closer to off, slower one perhaps, beats his slog, and Sharma calls him through for the bye. Jadeja is not quite awake to it, and is run-out at the non-striker's end 199/6Extras9 (lb 4, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL201/7 (20 Overs, RR: 10.05)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Shubman Gill, 2.2 ov), 2-29 (Tilak Varma, 2.3 ov), 3-141 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 13.6 ov), 4-188 (Rinku Singh, 18.3 ov), 5-194 (Suryakumar Yadav, 19.2 ov), 6-199 (Ravindra Jadeja, 19.4 ov), 7-199 (Jitesh Sharma, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 Siraj founds the stumps at the non-striker's end. We go upstairs. Siraj did deserve to send Hendricks back after those first two overs. Another big shot attempted, inside edge to mid-on, Markram calls him through, but he is caught short by Siraj;'s direct hit 23/21.3 played on. Breetzke gets the width again, looks to drive this on the up, but gets an inside edge and drags this from wide outside off onto the leg stump 4/16.1 and the stand-in captain has a wicket first ball. This has gripped. Markram looks at the flat length, shortish ball, and shapes up to pull, but the ball turns from leg to off, takes a massive top edge and Markram is gone 42/45.4 sweeps him, out of the screws, but finds the sweeper on the leg side. Markram shuffles across early, Arshdeep bowls the slower one, Klaasen adjusts well, but just can't drag this square enough of deep midwicket, who runs to his right for a smart catch 42/313.5 Kuldeep has the five-for on his birthday. Miller knows there is no point batting this innings out. He tries to hit out, shuffles across for the big sweep, and Kuldeep fires this in full and straight to hit the leg stump 95/109.6 what a comeback. Ferreira stays back again, but Kuldeep finally manages to bowl on a good length. The ball drifts away, then turns back in, and stays a touch low. Ferreira has gone nowhere with his feet. It hits his shin and ricochets onto the wicket 75/510.6 Jadeja the captain and Jadeja the bowler can do no wrong, it would seem. Turn, bounce and grip. And Jadeja is bowling this into the pitch. Phehlukwayo is cramped by the movement and ends up lobbing it back to Jadeja 82/611.6 stays low, and Kuldeep is on target. On a length, middle and off, and it turns in and stays low to beat the toe of his bat 89/713.1 too good for a tall fast bowler. Doesn't pick the wrong'un at all. The length ball turns in, goes past the inside edge, and is hit right in front. No need for a review 94/813.3 tries a reverse-sweep, another appeal for lbw, not given, but this time we have a DRS review. It has hit him in the rib cage but has kissed the thigh pad on the way so there is a chance this might be hitting. Height seems the only issue here. And the replay shows it is hitting off. There hasn't been a great amount of bounce in this pitch. India one wicket away now 94/9Extras3 (lb 2, w 1)TOTAL95 all out (13.5 Overs, RR: 6.86)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Matthew Breetzke, 1.3 ov), 2-23 (Reeza Hendricks, 3.2 ov), 3-42 (Heinrich Klaasen, 5.4 ov), 4-42 (Aiden Markram, 6.1 ov), 5-75 (Donovan Ferreira, 9.6 ov), 6-82 (Andile Phehlukwayo, 10.6 ov), 7-89 (Keshav Maharaj, 11.6 ov), 8-94 (Nandre Burger, 13.1 ov), 9-94 (Lizaad Williams, 13.3 ov), 10-95 (David Miller, 13.5 ov)
