- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 well Bisla's chancy knock has ended. He was ill at ease against the short ball and his attempt at pulling one that got to him too quickly has landed in square leg's hands 20/12.6 oops, Gambhir's return is terrible. He closes the face too early to a full ball, trying to play it on the leg side. The leading edge loops towards mid-off, where Thomas takes a simple catch. Terrific first over from Lewis Gregory. 21/212.1 caught at short fine leg! The short ball works for Thomas, Tiwary is late on the pull and top edges it to Dockrell, simple catch 71/3Extras11 (lb 4, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL161/3 (20 Overs, RR: 8.05)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Manvinder Bisla, 2.4 ov), 2-21 (Gautam Gambhir, 2.6 ov), 3-71 (Manoj Tiwary, 12.1 ov)
