- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.6 That's gone high, very high and Ellis takes a really good catch running on from deep square leg. That was an absolute steepler. Pacy back of a length ball on middle. Jaiswal once again goes for a pull, gets a massive top-edge and Ellis grabs it reverse-cupped. 33/14.3 Two wickets in four balls for Australia and both openers are a goner. The ball was there to be hit. Was in the slot outside off, Gaikwad strikes it well, but just does not get the elevation. The mid-off fielder makes no mistake. 33/219.3 Cleans him up with a corker of a yorker. Almost 140kph and bang on middle stump. Iyer looks to flay it away again, is hit on the boot with the ball then smashing into off pole. Fifty and out is Iyer. 156/76.5 Taken this time and India in a spot of bother as they lose their captain. Was short of a length outside off. Surya can't quite get on top of the bounce and that means he can't keep the ball down. Cuts it straight to McDermott who takes a good low catch to his right at backward point. 46/39.1 Catch, catch is the call and Tim David makes no mistake. Rinku departs and Sangha gets his first. That's a big wicket. Was fuller and outside off which meant Rinku had to drag it. He does not get it anywhere close to the middle of the bat and David at wide long-on completes a rather comfortable catch. 55/413.1 No timing at all and deep midwicket comes in to take a good catch. Hardie goes into the surface and aiming for Jitesh's body. He goes for a pull, but wasn't in position. Mistimes it altogether and Short completes the take low to his left. 97/518.4 Top-edge and Hardie takes a smart catch running back from short third. Knuckle ball that was on a length on leg stump and arrives very late. Axar is through his flick way too early, and can only get a top-edge that is snapped up well. It actually went off the back of his bat to Hardie. 143/619.6 Banged in short he pulls to deep backward square leg. Goes for a second, and is run out by miles. 160/8Extras6 (b 1, lb 2, w 3)TOTAL160/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8)Fall of wickets: 1-33 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 3.6 ov), 2-33 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 4.3 ov), 3-46 (Suryakumar Yadav, 6.5 ov), 4-55 (Rinku Singh, 9.1 ov), 5-97 (Jitesh Sharma, 13.1 ov), 6-143 (Axar Patel, 18.4 ov), 7-156 (Shreyas Iyer, 19.3 ov), 8-160 (Ravi Bishnoi, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.5 Six and out! Fine comeback from Bishnoi. Hits the top of off stump. Seems like the wrong'un, Bishnoi's stock ball, on a length and fizzes away at quick pace to beat Head on the outside edge and disturb the furniture. Big wicket for India 47/22.3 Mukesh strikes with his third ball. Short and outside off, Philippe throws his bat at ball. But the ball isn't coming onto the bat on this two-paced Bengaluru surface. Philippe can only drag it back onto his own stumps 22/114.6 another full-toss outside off, McDermott can't clear long-off! Rinku takes it in the deep. Arshdeep misses the yorker once again, but gets lucky this time as McDermott miscues it 116/56.6 Two wickets in two overs for Bishnoi. He has Hardie holing out to long-on. Another wrong'un, breaking into off stump, Hardie drags it to long-on off the inner half 55/313.2 Axar comes back and takes out David. Back of a length and sliding into the hips, the ball isn't coming onto the bat. David half-heartedly picks it up and chips it in the air. Avesh runs in from deep square leg and snaffles a low catch, diving forward 102/416.3 Caught by Gaikwad at point. SKY, Gaikwad exchange wry smiles. Avesh misses the yorker, comes out as a low full-toss, which is sliced to point. Mukesh can't believe it either 129/619.3 Arshdeep has Wade holing out to long-on. Arshdeep attempts another yorker, marginally misses it, but it's still a decent delivery. Wade does not get enough elevation. Caught at Iyer in the deep 151/816.4 Mukesh storms through the defences of Dwarshuis. Back of a length, threatens to angle away outside off but seams back in to breach the weak defences and floor the middle stump.
