- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.1 Padikkal does the right thing but the pitch is slow. He wants to take on spin early, when the ball is still coming on. He steps out to try to hit him over long-on, but he sends it only as far as Faf du Plessis at long-on. While tumbling over he relays the catch to Gaikwad to his left, and Padikkal is gone 46/23.5 Finch will have to wait another day to come off. Curran sees him come down at him, and slips in the slower bouncer, which also cramps Finch up. Finch goes ahead with the aggressive shot, managing only a skier to cover 31/118.6 yet another man perished trying to take on the slowness of this pitch. Excellent catch too. Slower ball, on off, right in the slot, but Kohli can't get enough in it as he looks to clear long-off. Du Plessis sprints to his right to make the catch 138/517.3 the slowness of the surface gets de Villiers. A length ball, in the slot, and he looks to hit a six. The knuckle ball does him in, and the mis-hit goes straight down long-on's throat 128/318.1 Ali looks to take on the slow pitch and perishes. Skips down, gets a length ball in the slot, but he ends up hitting this slower offcutter straight to long-off 132/419.3 yorker. The pitch doesn't matter here. This is just the quick yorker after that big slower one last ball.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.1 and Morris strikes first ball back. Du Plessis looks to use the pace on this seam-up delivery. It is on a length, and he is looking to go over cover. Ends up toe-ending it, and Siraj takes a smart catch running back 46/113.3 big shriek of a YES from Kohli as Rayudu sweeps all around a full legbreak. He is bowled neck and crop. The off stump gone. Chahal comes back and creates a chance. Who would have thought? 113/2Extras2 (lb 1, w 1)TOTAL150/2 (18.4 Overs, RR: 8.03)Fall of wickets: 1-46 (Faf du Plessis, 5.1 ov), 2-113 (Ambati Rayudu, 13.3 ov)
