    2.2 the Cottrell salute comes out. This is a nice shot to a length ball on off, across the line but that is fair game. He has timed it well, but Sarfaraz takes a sharp low catch square leg 19/1
    8.6 Smith picked his spots in that previous Neesham over, but it is not so easy when the field is spread out. Neesham keeps bowling wide legcutters to him. He looks to go over the off side but he has to manufacture all the pace. He can't. Caught at deep cover 100/2
    16.1 oh heartbreaking. Samson has perished. Shami is having a great IPL. Bouncer, not a slower ball, so Samson's idea is good to go for the ramp. But he gets extra bounce, and hits the glove before hitting the bat. And then the toe end of the bat, and then Rahul takes the catch 161/3
    18.6 oh man, the greatest 40 minutes of commentary have come to an end. Tewatia has found deep midwicket with the pull, but he has made sure they win the match. Fifty-three off 31 after everybody wanted him thrown into the Gulf. Take a bloody bow, sir. You are a beautiful beautiful player. Storytellers kill for guys like you 222/5
    18.1 what a weak shot from Uthappa. Can you believe he has holed out to long-off at Sharjah to a ball right in his slot? This is just a chip. Need to be going harder at them. That is a poor shot. This ball is right in the sweet slot 203/4

    19.2 oh he sweeps. Ashwin slips in the googly after showing him the gap square on the leg side. Had to take the risk. Parag bit the bait. Bowled neck and crop 222/6
