    3.4 The bouncer has brought about Sai Sudharsan's downfall. Banged in short outside off stump, a very well-directed short ball from Bhuvi. Sai Sudharsan has to fetch that 138.6kph delivery from outside off, he gets a top-edge with the ball ballooning to the short fine leg region. Jitesh runs behind it and takes a comfortable catch 26/2
    2.2 Straight up, straight up and Gill is out of here. The aggression of Gill goes against him this time around. Back of a length ball outside off, Gill stays inside his crease this time to the 142kph delivery. He looks to go across the line, gets it on the higher part of the bat, with the ball spooning up. Patidar runs to his right from mid-off and takes a good catch 22/1
    7.6 Straight down Padikkal's throat at long-on. Another one bites the dust as Sindhu walks back. Rising back of a length ball on middle at 132kph. He charges down the track but is not in control as he goes for the pull. Also loses his balance in playing that shot with the ball only going as far as DDP who is stationed perfectly. 55/3
    12.1 Five-head Krunal outfoxes Buttler! Sees him dance down, so he yorks him wide. 114ks, lands in line with Buttler's back-knee after beating bat. Buttler's upper body froze late as he reached out, trying to scythe the ball away. Too late and Krunal celebrates with intensity. GT's big three toppled! 73/4

    14.1 Forget Ben, It's Josh cutting off Arshad's attack. Trademark back-of-length ball skidded and rushed Arshad. He was back in the crease, swivelling for the pull. Ball came under belly-height. He got cramped - upper-body bent down, elbows weren't extended and the top edge went straight to short fine leg. 99/5
    16.1 Tewatia goes and the crowd go up bigtime! 131ks length ball angling in towards fourth stump from around the wicket. The cross-seamer seemed to lose pace off the pitch and bounced a touch low. Tewatia extended his arms and looked to lift it over mid-on with a mostly horizontal bat. Ball hit low on the bat and Patidar ran back to take a rather easy catch. Rasikh is pumped, he's had a great game so far 115/6
    18.3 Top edge. Will there be confusion? No, Hazlewood keeps the keeper at bay and allows Bhuvi to get to 28 wickets this season! 128ks short ball around fifth stump, seam up. Seemed slow off the pitch but bounced good. Holder was square-on, jumped and looked to drag it across with a pull. Edged it right back, Jitesh ran straight but Hazlewood ran across from short third and took it. Seemed to have made the call early as Jitesh slowed down 142/7
    19.2 Rashid goes again... can't clear the boundary this time! Went across the ground by pulling the scrambled-seam ball. 132ks. Bat went from slightly down to up, just over the shoulder. Got it a touch too high. Shepherd takes it to the right at deep-backward square 151/8

    4.3 Straight to mid-on but Venky Iyer has done his job! Siraj cramps the batter for room who was once again backing away. He goes deep in the crease but Siraj rushes him for pace with the good length ball at 147.5kph on leg. He mistimes to Rabada who makes no mistake 62/1

    5.1 CARVED to deep third! That is wicket No. 29 for Rabada which wins him the purple cap. He gives himself room but Rabada bowls this fullish and outside off. Padikkal has to reach for it, and he ends up slicing it to the left of Arshad, who runs to his left and takes a smart catch 63/2
    8.2 Rabada takes soft steps back... and takes the catch on the long-on boundary! He raised his right leg upon taking it but the back leg was still after he took it above head. Spin-hitter Patidar saw a full ball, got on one knee and swept it from outside off. Got a lot of height on it, nearly got it over. Rashid strikes second ball 89/3
    8.5 And Rashid has brought it back to life! Krunal has a chat with Kohli but doesn't review! Loopy full ball on off, Krunal moves across to off, clears the front leg out of the way and goes for a hard sweep. The legbreak spins in a touch to beat bat and hit the back leg in front of off. Krunal swipes his bat in frustration on the way back, Rashid and co celebrate. Hawk-Eye shows that'd have smashed middle and off 91/4
    13.6 That looks out. Arshad convinced and then in disbelief. Buttler threw the ball up. Quick sign to review from GT. 144ks length ball landed on leg and finished on middle and off. David was in the crease, front leg slightly away as he looked to defend straight. The ball took a feather while angling away, Ultra-Edge confirms. Ball still seaming, Sid Monga says. David gets a pat on the shoulder from Kohli 132/5
