- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.3 you miss, Styris hits, in the grand tradition of Kiwi dibbly-dobblers. Simmons made room to slap that through the off side, and the ball sneaked below his bat and crashed into off and middle 34/33.1 down the pitch, and he gets no elevation on that attempted big hit down the ground, and mid-on has to dive forward and to his right to catch that. Well taken! 10/15.3 fantastic low catch from Williamson at short cover. That was full, and Saxena drove that hard, almost parallel to the ground barely a foot above the turf, and Williamson stayed low and threw himself forward and to his left to take that inches above the ground. They look at a couple of replays, and his hands are well underneath the ball 27/210.5 follows it with the bouncer, and Rayudu's feet are stuck in cement. He leans back, trying to ramp that over the keeper, and only manages to glove it through to the keeper 46/59.4 what a catch! I don't think Watling knew too much about that as Tare made room for the late cut. The ball, angling in towards middle stump, bounced on him and took his top-edge, and the keeper somehow got his gloves in the way and clung on to the ball 44/416.6 taken! It's short again, and Harris dives to his left at deep square leg to catch Pollard's uppish pull 89/715.3 full outside off, and Devcich takes a well-judged catch on the long-off boundary, reaching over his head and looking back to ensure his foot is inside the rope, after Harbhajan launched it down the ground 75/619.6 full now, on middle and leg, and he clips it off his toes towards deep midwicket and turns back for the second. Throw beats Shreyas to the keeper's end, where Watling collected the ball in front of the crease and underarmed it into the stumps on the dive 132/919.1 shuffles across his stumps, goes too far across, and he bowls it full and bowls Malinga behind his legs as he misses the flick 116/8Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL132/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.6)Did not bat: JJ BumrahFall of wickets: 1-10 (Michael Hussey, 3.1 ov), 2-27 (Jalaj Saxena, 5.3 ov), 3-34 (Lendl Simmons, 7.3 ov), 4-44 (Aditya Tare, 9.4 ov), 5-46 (Ambati Rayudu, 10.5 ov), 6-75 (Harbhajan Singh, 15.3 ov), 7-89 (Kieron Pollard, 16.6 ov), 8-116 (Lasith Malinga, 19.1 ov), 9-132 (Shreyas Gopal, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.4 down the pitch, looks to emulate Williamson by chipping over the top, but all he can do is drop that into the hands of Pollard, running to his right from long-off 83/112.5 and he's gone, just like that. It was a length ball, not quite up there to drive, and he hit that on the up, straight into the hands of Pollard at short cover 103/215.6 oh my. That wasn't short enough to pull, and he's deposited that straight into the hands of Harbhajan at short midwicket 115/414.3 taken! Harbhajan leaps to his right to pluck a one-handed catch after Watling flicks this full ball uppishly 113/3Extras9 (b 1, lb 2, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL133/4 (17.2 Overs, RR: 7.67)Fall of wickets: 1-83 (Anton Devcich, 9.4 ov), 2-103 (Kane Williamson, 12.5 ov), 3-113 (BJ Watling, 14.3 ov), 4-115 (Daniel Flynn, 15.6 ov)
