- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.5 holes out to long-off. Tossed up generously at leg stump. He offers the angled bat to try and hit skywards into the leg side, but he's not to the pitch. The ball spins enough to get the outside half of the bat and it is lobbed straight to Morgan 53/112.5 steps out again, not to the pitch again, but this time he can't get runs off it. Axar drops it back of a length, gets it to straighten slightly. He slogs across the line and finds long-on 103/47.3 Nair's wretched run continues. Goes for the short one again, this is under his arm-pit and he fends at it to try and pick runs fine. But Saha is across to catch it and the umpire raises the finger. Good catch too, he dove to his left with both hands and performed a graceful tumble to keep it in 55/211.5 good length at off stump, stands tall to try and lift this on the up over midwicket. He gets it off the toe of the bat and finds Morgan at long-on who has to take maybe five steps in before camping under this and taking it in front of his eyes 96/315.1 bouncer at middle stump, looks to dispatch him straight away with a pull shot, but he's too late on it. Slices a lob to mid-off inside the circle 120/517.5 well his first dot ball in this phase will be a dismissial. Dropped short at middle stump, not a very smart ball. Morris couldn't get elevation on his pull, picks out deep square leg 151/6Extras10 (lb 2, nb 4, w 4)TOTAL188/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.4)Fall of wickets: 1-53 (Sanju Samson, 6.5 ov), 2-55 (Karun Nair, 7.3 ov), 3-96 (Shreyas Iyer, 11.5 ov), 4-103 (Sam Billings, 12.5 ov), 5-120 (Rishabh Pant, 15.1 ov), 6-151 (Chris Morris, 17.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 gone! He sees fine leg inside the circle and looks for the cute paddle past the fielder. Picked the wrong ball for it, though. Wasn't short enough for it, and it hurried on, sneaked past his bat, and hit him on the pad. Big appeal from Nadeem before Yashwant Barde raised his finger. Hit him in line, and Hawkeye says it straightened enough to hit a good chunk of leg stump 5/14.4 full-toss, knee-high, and Amla has picked out deep square leg! I think he was looking to hit that a little finer, but it may have been a slower ball - slower than he thought, at least - and he hit his flick straight to the fielder, off the leading edge or that side of his bat anyway 31/33.2 down the track now, and he gets closer to the pitch than he'd have liked, maybe. Hits it in the air, straight to extra-cover, where Zaheer claims a low catch. They're checking with the third umpire - soft signal is out. Fingers seem to be under the ball, and his hand seems to be an inch or so above the turf. Yup, he's gone. 21/29.6 another cuttable ball, and this time he cuts in the air and Karun Nair takes the catch at backward point. He was initially moving to his left, and in the end had to adjust and fall to his right 64/413.4 gone! Low full-toss, a bit of late swing into the left-hander. Miller shuffles across, looks to flick, and is hit on the back pad, as plumb as plumb can be. The end of a painful innings from Miller 88/610.3 Gone! Maxwell goes for the big slog from an off-stump line, is hitting that against the turn, top-edges it, and can only hit it down deep midwicket's throat 65/519.6 slower ball on a good length. Axar clears his front leg, slogs, and misses. The ball hits leg stump and Morris finishes with three wickets 137/918.5 full, following the batsman's movement away from leg stump. Mohit looks to swipe it through the leg side, misses, gets a bit of back pad on it to help it onto the stumps 133/719.1 Starts with a middle-stump yorker that sets the bails flashing Cariappa tries to make room and squeeze that through point, and can't connect this time 134/8Extras2 (lb 1, w 1)TOTAL137/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.85)Did not bat: VR AaronFall of wickets: 1-5 (Manan Vohra, 1.4 ov), 2-21 (Wriddhiman Saha, 3.2 ov), 3-31 (Hashim Amla, 4.4 ov), 4-64 (Eoin Morgan, 9.6 ov), 5-65 (Glenn Maxwell, 10.3 ov), 6-88 (David Miller, 13.4 ov), 7-133 (Mohit Sharma, 18.5 ov), 8-134 (KC Cariappa, 19.1 ov), 9-137 (Axar Patel, 19.6 ov)
