- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.2 taken at backward point! Good, low catch by Gaikwad. The ball was hit very hard, and there was little time for Gaikwad to react. Length delivery from Akash, which was angling across and finished in the channel outside off. Brook made a bit of room and flashed, but the ball flew off the outside half of his bat, and behind the wicket 35/19.2 well taken by Rahane at long-on! He had to cover good ground while running forward. So the time-out breaks Abhishek's momentum. Short ball from Jadeja from around the wicket, pitching just outside off. That didn't really turn, even as Abhishek pulled from middle stump perhaps anticipating it. The ball hit the higher side of his bat, and ballooned to long-on 71/211.2 top edge, and taken by short fine leg! The fielder only had to move to his left to gobble that. Tripathi tries to slog sweep this full delivery, but it's a bit wide-ish of off for him to fetch that and play across the line. Looked like the ball also stopped while coming on to him, as he was through his shot there 84/312.5 wow, what a faint tickle! Good take by Dhoni; he hardly had time to react. The ball sticks into his gloves as he leaps a little. It was a short ball pitching outside off, as Markram made room to try and slash it. He got his front leg out of the way too, but ended up getting a little top edge 90/417.3 another good catch by Gaikwad! Again he dives forward - but this time at extra cover - like he had done to dismiss Brook earlier in the day. Klaasen got a length delivery slightly wide of off from Pathirana, as he saw the width and flashed hard at the ball. The ball ended up being aerial, with Gaikwad timing his dive perfectly 116/613.5 stumped by Dhoni! And for what it's worth, the third umpire first wants to confirm if it's a caught behind or a stumping. No bat detected, so Agarwal is out stumped. He ended wayyy down the pitch, skipping out early. Jadeja saw that, and fired one on a short of a length outside off, and also much quicker. Agarwal had to slash but missed, and Dhoni did the rest 95/519.6 run-out off the last ball! But it has gone to the third umpire, who confirms it is out. Dhoni takes his right glove off, and hits the stumps at his end to find Sundar short. Length ball heading down to end outside leg, as Jansen swung across the line and missed. Naturally, they took for a potential bye 134/7Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL134/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.7)Fall of wickets: 1-35 (Harry Brook, 4.2 ov), 2-71 (Abhishek Sharma, 9.2 ov), 3-84 (Rahul Tripathi, 11.2 ov), 4-90 (Aiden Markram, 12.5 ov), 5-95 (Mayank Agarwal, 13.5 ov), 6-116 (Heinrich Klaasen, 17.3 ov), 7-134 (Washington Sundar, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.6 what an unfortunate way to see a wicket fall. Conway absolutely hits this ramrod straight, and it deflects off Umran's fingers onto the stumps at the non-striker's end with Gaikwad not even in the frame. Umran was late to react on his followthrough but somehow managed to get his fingertips on the ball. Also had some luck go his way with that. Conway is distraught at seeing his partner walk off in the most unfortunate fashion. 87/114.4 rewarded for a superb delivery! Rahane chips down the track but is beaten in flight and off the pitch as he attempts to work it to the leg side. The ball flies off the edge to Markram who leaps at slip to complete the catch on the second attempt. 110/216.6 cracker of a delivery! Fizzing googly that has Rayudu playing down the wrong line. The ball sneaks in to beat the inside edge and crash into the stumps. What a ball. 122/3Extras2 (lb 2)TOTAL138/3 (18.4 Overs, RR: 7.39)Fall of wickets: 1-87 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 10.6 ov), 2-110 (Ajinkya Rahane, 14.4 ov), 3-122 (Ambati Rayudu, 16.6 ov)
