- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.1 taken this time, stunner from Simmons! Gayle looked to slap the slower offcutter well outside off and got another thick edge, it was ready to sail over short third man, but Simmons flies to his left and grabs that with both hands. He is thrilled, the team celebrates but not much reaction from the supper staff in the dug out. Jonty Rhodes is not animated at all 20/1Extras7 (nb 1, w 6)TOTAL235/1 (20 Overs, RR: 11.75)Did not bat: KD Karthik †, SN Khan, Mandeep Singh, D Wiese, MA Starc, HV Patel, YS Chahal, S AravindFall of wickets: 1-20 (Chris Gayle, 3.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.6 banged in short and outside off, Simmons jumps up, punches it to the covers and sets off. The fielder (Kohli) moves to his left swoops down on the ball and puts in an accurate throw to DK, who whips the bails off. Parthiv's bat got jammed into the ground and he was caught short! Kohli is pumped, super-pumped 29/18.1 slower offcutter on length on the off side, Rohit takes a step down and holes out to long on. He didn't pick the slower one, it seems, and lofted it straight down Mandeep's throat in the deep 63/214.2 leading edge caught at deep cover nicely by Starc! Length delivery around the off stump from Aravind, Pollard tried another heave on the leg side and only got a thick and high leading edge. Starc had enough time to get under it in the deep 133/315.4 gone this time, beaten by the turn! He came down the track to slam it again, but the length delivery turned away from him as he swung his bat and DK did the rest before Pandya could look back 143/417.3 slams it down the ground in the air, it would have easily gone for four but AB runs to his left and goes low in front to get his hands under it in no time. Excellent catch and Rayudu goes 174/518.2 that's not from the top edge, he has simply lofted the length ball down the ground to long on for an easy peasy catch 178/619.2 goes down on a knee to slog it on the leg side, gets another edge as the ball turns, and this one doesn't go far. DK runs towards the short cover region and takes it easily 184/7Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL196/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.8)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Parthiv Patel, 3.6 ov), 2-63 (Rohit Sharma, 8.1 ov), 3-133 (Kieron Pollard, 14.2 ov), 4-143 (Hardik Pandya, 15.4 ov), 5-174 (Ambati Rayudu, 17.3 ov), 6-178 (Harbhajan Singh, 18.2 ov), 7-184 (Jagadeesha Suchith, 19.2 ov)
