- BATSMENRB4s6sSR12.4 Nagarkoti finally gets some reward too. Short of a length, follows Shaw as he makes room, and this one flies over the toe end of the bat. Goes a mile in the air but can't clear long-on 129/25.5 legcutter grip but a topsinner, and Dhawan is done in. Brave bowling. Tosses this up, but gets some drop in it, and the extra bounce gets a big top edge on the sweep. The ball swirls and swirls and Morgan does well to hold on to it at square leg 56/117.5 oh he tries the helicopter and it crash-lands in the lap of long-on. Russell cramps him up with a full ball on the pads. Pant has to draw any power from that whip of the wrists. He doesn't succeed. Long-on takes the catch 201/319.1 slower ball, wide down leg, but Stoinis thinks he can clear short midwicket and take four. However, he ends up toe-ending this for a catch at short fine leg 221/4Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL228/4 (20 Overs, RR: 11.4)Fall of wickets: 1-56 (Shikhar Dhawan, 5.5 ov), 2-129 (Prithvi Shaw, 12.4 ov), 3-201 (Rishabh Pant, 17.5 ov), 4-221 (Marcus Stoinis, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.1 Gill is not only out to a skier he refuses to cross. This is ordinary bating. Digging a hole with slow strike before trying the slow sweep against the turn off Mishra. The big top edge goes straight up for a mile and settles with Pant 72/21.2 there he goes. Not the attack to try Narine against. The good thing is, he hasn't wasted too many balls. Clears the front leg and slogs, Nortje hits the top of leg stump 8/112.4 what a comeback from Harshal Patel. Shortens the length here with this slower ball. Rana looks to go over midwicket this time, but gets a massive top edge for substitute fielder Axar Patel to take the catch at deep midwicket 117/49.5 Rabada has done the job. Brought back to get Russell out, Rabada delivers. Fast short ball, Russell back away and swings, gets a big top edge and Nortje runs in from third man to claim it 94/312.5 two in two with a diving catch from Dhawan at mid-off. Harshal digs this in, but bowls the change-up, the quick delivery at 133ks. Karthik is late into the pull, and gets a top edge to the right of mid-off, but Dhawan dives full length to take the catch 117/518.3 and Nortje has delivered the big wicket. Morgan gets the pulling length, but this sort of hanfcuffs him with its straight line. Caught at long leg. DC will breathe for now 200/713.3 Tripathi might finally get to bat after all. Cummins can't get away with two edges. Short of a length, 141ks, Cummins looks to go over cover, but gets a thick edge for a low catch at third man 122/619.2 that's the game then. Dipping slower yorker at 126ks, and it squeezes under Tripathi's swing to dislodge the off stump 207/8Extras13 (b 4, lb 2, nb 2, w 5)TOTAL210/8 (20 Overs, RR: 10.5)Did not bat: CV VarunFall of wickets: 1-8 (Sunil Narine, 1.2 ov), 2-72 (Shubman Gill, 8.1 ov), 3-94 (Andre Russell, 9.5 ov), 4-117 (Nitish Rana, 12.4 ov), 5-117 (Dinesh Karthik, 12.5 ov), 6-122 (Pat Cummins, 13.3 ov), 7-200 (Eoin Morgan, 18.3 ov), 8-207 (Rahul Tripathi, 19.2 ov)
