- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR23.6 bowls an absolute peach to get Conway! This one's angled in but the ball nips back in further off the seam to get through Conway's defence. He went for a booming drive but the inside edge cannons onto the stumps. 126/221.4 the catch is taken, and it's against the run of play. A slower ball that slipped out of his hand, or so it seemed. Nicholls reached out to squeeze this behind square, but ends up getting an edge that loops behind to Rahul who has to dive low to his right to take the catch. 117/127.5 arches back to try and ramp it over third man but there's no pace on this and he ends up getting a thin edge through to Rahul. 146/347.4 'you miss, I hit' stuff from Prasidh! This is bowled full, tailed late into middle as Mitchell misses the ball attempting to wallop that over deep midwicket. The umpire's finger went up in a jiffy. Mitchell doesn't even wait for a review to flash on the big screen. He knows there's no bat on it. Good comeback after being walloped for fours and a six 281/833.2 Spooned low to point. Shreyas took a step to the right and then lunged forward to take it around the angle. 84ks googly on a length. Landed around off and kept going away. Phillips committed to the cover drive, was too early into the shot and ended up getting a lobbed leading edge 170/437.3 Snakes back in to beat the edge, rattles the stumps. Boy, did the bail fly! Wobble-seam length ball landed around off and cut back in. Hay was stuck on the crease, stood still and tried to punch it straight. Beaten on the inside edge. 135ks 198/542.6 have they got him at the non-striker's end? Athleticism, energy, throw - all top notch from Shreyas Iyer as he hared in from the ropes at long-on. And yes, he has nailed bull's eye to have Bracewell run out attempting to pinch a second run after hitting it straight down the ground. 237/643.3 cleans him up! Siraj gets one to skid through on a length outside off, Foulkes looks to dab it wide of the keeper to try and churn strike, but ends up chopping on. 239/7Extras7 (w 7)TOTAL300/8 (50 Overs, RR: 6)Did not bat: A AshokFall of wickets: 1-117 (Henry Nicholls, 21.4 ov), 2-126 (Devon Conway, 23.6 ov), 3-146 (Will Young, 27.5 ov), 4-170 (Glenn Phillips, 33.2 ov), 5-198 (Mitchell Hay, 37.3 ov), 6-237 (Michael Bracewell, 42.6 ov), 7-239 (Zak Foulkes, 43.3 ov), 8-281 (Daryl Mitchell, 47.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.4 Rohit manufactures a shot... and falls! Stadium's gone quiet. Rohit looks up and grimaces, Jamieson gets his hands up and celebrates subduedly. 131ks full ball followed Rohit as he made room, went through with a lofted extra-cover drive. Ended up skying it, mid-off went back and took it close to his chest. 39/126.3 didn't get to the pitch, but Gill ends up driving this on the up to the man at the edge of the ring at cover. Lovely delivery, it was the wrong'un and Gill got it more towards the bottom part of the bat. 157/239.1 Taken at mid-off and Kohli doesn't get a hundred. He looks down and walks back, the crowd go from disbelief to cheers and chants. Danced down to a 129ks length ball at the stumps. Couldn't make enough room. He went with a mostly vertical bat and wanted to go over extra cover, got it just over the middle of the bat. 234/341.1 Offcutter supreme! Wow, it's not a slower one, 128ks, cross-seamer it turns out. It did jag back a bit. Shreyas played around it, tried to flick it through mid-on but played down the wrong line - a slightly wider one than the initial one. Length ball goes through the gate and dinks off stump. Two in two for Jamieson 242/539.6 Two in the over, soft dismissal this time. 128ks cross-seam ball on a fullish length angling in, Jadeja into the flick too early, spoons it straight to mid-on. He almost whacks the bat into the ground on his way out 239/446.2 Thick edge and it's taken. Clarke goes into the pitch and that works. Cross-seam again, off-stump line. Rana clears the front leg and looked to pull the cover off it. Top edged bobbed to the keeper.
