- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 chopped on! Early breakthrough for Punjab. Shortish ball but not much spin and too close to the stumps to be attempting a cut. Gets an inside edge for his troubles 2/13.3 goes for a pull but there was really no room to play that shot. Shortish, so it wasn't so much about the length. Though he backs away, he cannot manufacture enough room and gets a top-edge that goes straight down the throat of long-on. Mid-on had dropped back unlike in the previous over 18/24.6 back of a length, angling in, rapped on the pads as it misses the flick. It seems as though height may have been an issue but the umpire C Shamshuddin does not think so. That is a close one. He was struck pretty high on the pad and was jumping up as well. But Jadhav is not a very tall man. Still pretty close, though 22/313.1 great catch by Saha. That is one of the best catches I have seen recently. Short ball, Mandeep tries to pull and gets a top-edge. Saha has to dart back all the way, almost runs three-fourths towards the boundary and in the last minute, he has to change direction, dives to his right, towards fine leg and takes it with both hands 68/4Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL148/4 (20 Overs, RR: 7.4)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Shane Watson, 0.6 ov), 2-18 (Vishnu Vinod, 3.3 ov), 3-22 (Kedar Jadhav, 4.6 ov), 4-68 (Mandeep Singh, 13.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.6 plumb. in. front. This is full and angled in at middle stump. He's been hitting through the line all innings long, but is undone the first time he gets a slower ball. Closes the face too early, through the shot too early, struck in front of middle stump 62/18.1 plays around a googly. This wrong'un is flat, and it's full at middle stump. Axar is looking at clearing midwicket once more, but this is too close and too quick and through his slog to shatter the stumps 78/2Extras6 (lb 4, w 2)TOTAL150/2 (14.3 Overs, RR: 10.34)Fall of wickets: 1-62 (Manan Vohra, 5.6 ov), 2-78 (Axar Patel, 8.1 ov)
