    18.3 low full toss, right in the hitting slot, but he hits this straight to deep midwicket. Just a chip instead of a full-blooded slog. Perhaps Shami denied him any slogging room by following him 136/8
    0.2 Rana annihilated Ashwin the other day, but he is out first ball to a much lesser offspinner. The shot is on. This is a length ball, outside leg, both square leg and fine leg inside the circle. So the sweep is on, but all he manages is a soft top edge straight to Gayle at short fine leg 1/1
    1.4 Shami strikes. Test-match lines and lengths. Attacking top of off on the angle, and then leaving him after pitching. Top-quality bowling. Tripathi pushes at it with an open face, and edges it through 10/2
    1.6 this is even better. Too good in fact: he has been given but Karthik has reviewed it immediately. Lovely length ball, just outside off, holds its line, there is a sound as it passes his bat. Karthik contends the sound has come from his bat hitting the pad, but the Snicko shows a spike at the exact moment the ball is next to the bat. And it does also hit the pad at around the same time. So the benefit of the doubt has to go to the on-field call 10/3
    9.5 Bushnoi strikes. Wrong'un outside leg, Morgan goes for the aerial sweep, just that degree of spin means the connection is not the sweetest, and even on these short boundaries, that results in a catch at deep backward square leg 91/4
    10.6 slower ball, and Narine has dragged this on. Wide off cutter, on a length, Narine is looking to go over cover with his drive, but gets the toe-end of the bat onto his wicket 101/5
    14.2 that ends a tortured stay for Nagarkoti. And it is torture when you are not picking legspinners. Misses another wrong'un as he looks for a big cover drive, and this turns back enough to hit the wicket 113/6
    15.4 this is a straighter wrong'un, and he gets his man. Cummins wants to review, but they don't have a review left. This googly starts just outside off, and it is closer than the last one, but it is still headed down leg 114/7

    19.5 looks to ramp it instead of looking to take the single to hand over the strike to Ferguson. Jordan beats him and uproots the leg stump 149/9

    7.6 given out lbw, and Rahul is not using the review. And I think this is missing leg, but I will wait for the replays to prove me wrong. Looks like the skiddy wrong'un from around off, and the sharp quick turn beats him. Umpire Illingworth raises the finger, but the question is: is it turning too much? We will have to wait for the end of the timeout for the answer. Umpire's call on the leg stump 47/1

    18.1 massive slower ball. At 122ks. He is looking to leave it, but it is still there in front of his face. So he looks to ramp it, but ends up gloving it to short third man. Stand up and applaud another Gayle special. The game was in the balance when he came out to bat. The game is no more now 147/2
