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
