- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10.4 one-handed pluck from Jofra at third man Tyagi has his head in his hands. It's a tough one, slightly self-inflicted after he took a couple of steps in, but Archer watches it closely, jumps upwards and back to stretch and grab this one-handed. It's a short ball outside off, he looks for the upper cut and seems to have just gotten away at first glance. Not tonight. Jofra's team-mates are dumbstruck after that effort. all but Ben Stokes, who looks to the skies and cackles 90/20.5 chopped on! Jofra delivers, almost every time. Good length and swung away outside off. Stays still and reaches out with an angled bat, trying to stab that towards third man. It's a big inside edge onto stumps 7/112.2 lofted straight to long-off. SKY is playing this loft off the back foot, because he wants to make room to go from in to out and over extra cover. But he's managed to lift this full ball from middle stump straight into Stokes' hands 95/318.1 taken at long-on. Low full toss at middle stump, wants to loft it over that fielder but it's come off the low part of the bat and is taken well inside 165/512.6 cuts through him and takes out the stumps! Oh that'll feel good for the bowler. It's a googly, landing on a good length outside off. Pollard is on the back foot and swishing outside the line of this as it spins past the inside edge and tonks off stump. That's the first time Pollard has been dismissed since the season opener 101/4Extras9 (lb 4, w 5)TOTAL195/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.75)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Quinton de Kock, 0.5 ov), 2-90 (Ishan Kishan, 10.4 ov), 3-95 (Suryakumar Yadav, 12.2 ov), 4-101 (Kieron Pollard, 12.6 ov), 5-165 (Saurabh Tiwary, 18.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.5 taken at mid-on. Locked on the front foot again. This is a length ball outside off. He wants to shovel that wide of mid-on. But it's off the high part of the bat and floats gently to Pollard's left 13/14.4 inside edge and onto leg stump! That's a good delivery from Pattinson. Gets it to jag back in off a good length from outside off. Smith is looking to force it through the covers for the initial line and the movement is enough for the ball to take the inside edge. Leg stump if out of the gorund 44/2Extras11 (b 1, lb 3, w 7)TOTAL196/2 (18.2 Overs, RR: 10.69)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Robin Uthappa, 1.5 ov), 2-44 (Steven Smith, 4.4 ov)
