    4.2 Archer gets Shaw. He does it all himself. Shaw is looking for the pull again, but this one is not as short as he expects it to be. Consequently a massive top edge takes fight for moon and comes down towards midwicket. Archer runs towards it, asks Shreyas Gopal to get out of the way, and takes the catch 42/2
    1.3 Archer's first wicket in a Powerplay this year. It has taken him 51 balls. And this is not such a great ball. A length ball on the pads, and Dhawan likes the look of it. Looks to clear the ring on the leg side, but doesn't get the elevation he wants and also finds short midwicket to perfection 12/1
    5.5 that is a run-out. Iyer dives desperately to make it back, but gets up and keeps walking. This is a slower ball by Tye, short of a length, outside off, he pushes this towards cover and sets off. That is a poorly judged single because he has not waited for the ball to beat short cover. Jaiswal makes a diving save. Iyer is sent back. And Jaiswal hits the striker's end directly 50/3
    9.2 one more run-out. Pant just puts his head down and runs with Stoinis not even moving. This is poor running from Pant. Stoinis pushes this straight to short midwicket and takes a couple of instinctive steps down the wicket. Only to realise Pant is there looking into his eyes. All you can say is, this is Stoinis's call, and Pant should have waited for it 79/4
    13.3 and that is the icing on the cake that Tewatia's spell has been. I suppose Ponting will acknowledge Tewatia now. "You have to fight for what you are owed." He has got the danger man out. Short of a length, wide, legbreak so it turns away too. Stoinis nowhere near it but still cuts. The top edge settles with cover-point 109/5
    16.6 huge wicket. This could mean a difference of 20 runs. Tyagi bowls seam-up, quick, in the slot and just outside off. Hetmyer is looking at that wide long-on six, but the bat face turns in his hands as he connects. A smart overhead catch by Tewatia at long-on 149/6
    19.4 slower ball, on a length, 126ks, on leg, and Harshal doesn't get room to swing on this slog. Caught at deep midwicket 183/8
    18.6 gets the wicket. More importantly no run off it. Wide length ball, angling further way. Sure to be called a wide, but Axar manages to get the cue on it for a catch to Buttler 181/7

    12.1 and this is how anchor jobs hurt teams. He has wasted more than a quarter of the innings for less than a run a ball and now he is out when trying to hit. Full offcutter, outside leg, beats his swing, hits his pad, and then the off stump 82/5
    2.3 not the Mankad, but the more prosaic catch at square leg. Lovely bowling I must say. Buttler is looking for the big hit over long-on/midwicket region, but he gets the ball to dip on him, and ends up hitting to square leg, where Dhawan takes a diving catch even as the ball swerves away from him. Out comes the thigh-five, and a big leap from Ashwin 15/1
    8.1 Hetmyer. What a lovely catch. Nortje comes back, pitches one up, Smith whips this to leg, and Hetmyer dives forward from deep square midwicket to take this clean. They go to the third umpire with the soft signal saying he is out. The replays confirm it 56/2
    10.3 Stoinis. Turning everything he touches to gold. This is what happens when you show no intent against others and then are obligated to hit the change bowler for 25 runs. Samson swings at a length ball, and it sort of swings a touch and goes off the toe end. Million miles in the air. Caught at long-on 72/3
    11.2 and too easy for Ashwin. Nice drift, dip, and then some turn. Lomror looks to work to leg, and the leading edge is swallowed at short cover 76/4

    19.1 another brace for Rabada. It is just crazy how often he has been getting these. Slower offcutter first up, Tewatia early into the slog, plays this on 136/9
    13.5 Rabada makes a routine catch look difficult but takes it sensationally with a dive. Tye has no option but to go after Axar as he pitches short, but he manages to hit this just to the right of deep midwicket. Rabada is late to move behind the ball, but then puts the dive in 90/6
    14.5 Archer fights the good fight but Rabada is too good for him. Gets too much under this length ball as he tries another swing for a six. Skies it for a catch in the long-off region 100/7
    17.2 Hetmyer you beautiful beautiful fielder. His second stunning diving catch in the deep. Gopal makes room to loft this length ball inside out. Hetmyer dives to his left and also in front to take this clean. The soft signal is out. The hard signal has to be out as he has his fingers under it. The third umpire is convinced after watching many replays 121/8

    19.4 looks to ramp a slower short ball but sends it only as far as a limping Pant can go to catch. Is it a cramp or is it a strain? Rabada has three 138/10
