    9.3 Kuldeep's been floating it up, has taken a few big hits... and now he bears fruit! It's slow as ever through the air, and just spins away from the batter and is closer to him than Marsh might have accounted for. It was a googly, too. Marsh's bat twists in his hand and he mistimes this in the air. Stubbs pouches this at mid-off 71/5
    2.6 MUKESH IS RUNNING OFF, Tahir-style! What's happened here!? Marsh drills a drive off a good length straight down the pitch. Too straight, in fact, because Mukesh gets a hand on it and the ball ricochets into the stumps. Pant is out of his crease, and what an unfortunate way to be dismissed... 19/1

    5.5 Now THAT'S a comeback! Axar bowls this one quicker, pulls back the length and pushes it to the off stump line. Markram goes for another big swing after opening up his front foot. But the ball rifles through to the stumps and lights up the bails 48/2
    6.3 Badoni departs without scoring! Natarajan angles this away from the batter after landing it on a length, outside off. Badoni has no idea how to play at that as he just goes for a wild slow, and KL collects behind the stumps 49/3
    8.5 That's almost vintage Bravo, but somehow better! Ball of the tournament so far, really. Pooran goes on the front foot, trying to play this full ball down into the off-side. But Ngidi has disguised his off-cutter to perfection. It floats through the air, impossibly slow, and somehow, sneaks past Pooran's bat and rattles his stumps. Magical T20 bowling, this 65/4
    17.3 That rockets... straight to Miller at long-off! That was travelling at pace, very flat, Miller must've been taken aback. He was a few feet in the ropes, was leaning back as the ball came, then took it reverse-cupped. Took a step or two back as he got carried by the momentum. Was a slot ball in the hitting range, Samad drove it hard with a full follow-through 138/7
    13.1 Leading edge lollipops back to the bowler 87ks stock ball on a fullish length, Choudhary got his weight forward and tried to nudge it to the leg side. Closed the bat-face too early. Kuldeep didn't have to move much 105/6

    17.6 Right up, taken at cover point. Low full toss swerving away towards the base of off stump. Shami cleared the front leg and looked to go over cover. Got it off the bottom of the bat 140/8
    18.3 Nortje's into the shot too early, goes through with it. Long-off takes it. Pitched right up, just outside off. Nortje wound up big, took a small, straight stride and tried to munch a lofted drive down the ground. 141/9
    18.4 Another slower ball... ends the innings! Very full, just outside off. Mohsin clears the front leg and tries to jam it into the ground. Gets an edge that floats to short third. All smiles and high-fives among Ngidi and Axar 141/10

    0.1 Gone straight away! Shami pitches this full, outside off. Rahul goes for an extravagant inside-out cover drive, but mistimes it straight to deep point 0/1
    4.2 Straight up and Pant collects this one! Was on a length, just outside off. Nissanka never looked comfortable out there. Slogs this high in the air, behind him, and Pant dives in the end to complete the catch 25/3
    3.3 Samad gets it on second try! Rana tries to glide this laaaateee. The ball was on a length, seaming away. Took the edge off his shot - still, what was he thinking trying to play it late with first slip right there? Samad goes for it, ball bounces in the air, then he pouches it safely 21/2

    4.3 WHAT A BALL! Timbersssss. Prince Yadav bangs this in on a length, swings back into Axar. 138.3 kph, but felt more like 148.3 off the pitch. Axar tried to flick this and is in disbelief as he turns around and sees his stumps splattered. Whaddaball 26/4
