1.6 this pitch is not the belter we saw in the IPL earlier this year. Already signs of inconsistent bounce, and this one just stops in the pitch. Short of a length, has the width, Samson feels he can go for the punch, but is early into the shot and ends up lobbing it to mid-off 17/1

2.6 the off stump has gone for a cartwheel. A long cartwheel. A lovely sight for a fast bowler. Quick, 147ks, wobble-seam, moves away off the seam. Abhishek is looking to slog it over midwicket and manages only an inside edge onto the off stump 25/2

5.3 that boundary, a bit of a misfield from Shanto if you will, has been a blessing in disguise. Surya is on strike as opposed to Reddy, and the Fizz cutter kicks at him and stops on him, and he ends up chipping it to mid-off. The perfect surface for the Fizz 41/3

13.3 the Fizz cutter does it for Reddy. He hasn't picked it, and is way too early into his attacking shot to the length ball. Gets a thick edge for a catch to extra cover. Superb innings nonetheless. He was 13 off 13 when he got that free hit, which he deposited for a six. Never looked back from there 149/4

16.6 superb over from Taskin comes to and end. A superb spell in fact. After two slower balls, goes for the quick bouncer outside off, which Rinku has pulled straight to the sweeper on the leg side. Taskin 4-0-16-2 in what looks like a score comfortably above 200 185/5

19.1 Rishad gets the length right now. Not short, but nowhere close to driving length. Pandya sweeps himself off his feet trying to impart power into this shot down the ground. He does manage to get an incredible amount of power into this but still not enough to clear the straight sweeper cover 214/7

18.6 a wide bouncer, slower off-cutter, Parag is in no position to be able to time the pull. Ends up mis-hitting towards long-on 213/6

19.3 instead of the single, he tries the big shot after stepping out of the crease and offers a catch to long-off. Washington stranded at the other end 214/8

19.5 too ambitious. Rishad goes short of a length, gets extra bounce on the legbreak, Arshdeep looks to pull it hard, gets a big top edge. Washington won't get strike 220/9

2.3 Chopped on and Arshdeep gives Emon a cold stare as the batter walks back. Opener was there to swing for the hills, came off a couple of times but missed more often than not. 16 off 12 chasing 221 is unlikely to bother India too much. This length ball was outside off, Emon tried to drag it across with a heave. Looked as pre-meditated a shot as any, ends up clattering it back onto the stumps 20/1

5.1 Varun continues from where left off. Looked like the googly, 95ks, on the shorter side but it kept low. Litton went for a hard pull, had to crouch but couldn't adjust with the bounce, especially at that pace. Middle and leg stumps get dinked 42/3

4.3 Washington gets the left-hander in his first over. Angling it in from around the wicket, 92ks, on the fuller side. Shanto slid leg side to make room but wasn't afforded any, went through with the lofted drive and got it off the bottom. The drop/dip on the ball ensured Shanto wasn't as close to the pitch as he expected. Easy take at long-on 40/2

6.5 Yorker splays the stumps, Towhid's inside edge helps. Another batter trying to whack the ball out of shape and ends up in an ugly dismissal. He stood leg side of the ball and tried to thrash it towards mid-on. Went as hard as his team-mates and a thin edge had it chomp the stumps. 46/4

10.6 Parag does one big roar, there's number two as he pumps his fist. Mehidy danced down the ground and got a wide-ish length ball, he reached out and tried to splash it with freed arms but held out to long-off 80/5

19.1 Low fully has been skied, Parag ran in from long-on, takes it at the edge of the ring. Mahmudullah went across and got it low, tried to launch it but got it low off the bat. That's his penultimate T20I innings done, a bit of a struggle but he is the highest scorer for the team 127/9

11.4 Pulled. Taken at the deep-square-leg boundary. 147ks, back of a length at the hips, Jaker was rushed and was buckling while making contact. Washington ran to the right and took a good catch 83/6

13.3 Easily the catch of the series so far from Pandya. He charged to the left from deep midwicket, covered a lot of ground and was on the move as the ball was arrowing down. He clawed at the ball, one hand looking up and the other looking down, but his reflexes were so good that he pouched it. He tumbled in follow through but slid horizontally to ensure he didn't touch the boundary ropes. 27 metres he covered, says the broadcast. Was a slog sweep that had decent connection 93/7

17.4 Wide and full does the trick. It was slapped off the front foot and went flat to Hardik, who a regulation catch with calm 120/8
