- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 appeal for lbw and given! It looked like the googly, he prodded forward tentatively and played down the wrong line as it spun back into him. He reviews but in vain as it would have crashed into leg stump 16/16.5 gloved and brilliantly taken by Pant diving to his left! It wasn't just the dive but the way he took a couple of steps to his left before putting in the dive that allowed him to get there and pluck it out of thin air. Bouncer from Rabada, directed at the body, Lynn attempted to hook it away but only managed to glove it behind 40/35.6 appeal for lbw and given! slower ball, full on off, grips a little and Uthappa is not only early into the stroke but due to the press forward and across, has to play around his front pad, doesn't manage to get any bat on it and is found dead in front 36/27.1 clipped away to fine-leg and brilliantly taken by Rabada running swiftly to his right! It was an innocuous delivery on the pads, Rana picked it up nicely and perhaps surprised himself with the timing, his problem was that it went flat and aerially towards Rabada, who made it look incredibly easy 44/418.4 tries to cut it late, it's much slower through the air, turns away from Karthik outside off and he edges to the keeper and walks 170/79.1 full outside off, comes forward and throws his hands at it, deceived by the sharp spin away, gets a thick outside edge to deep point's left, who puts in an excellent dive on the boundary before flicking it to Harshal Patel, who was giving chase along with Rabada and hurled it back flat and right over the stumps the non striker's end to find Gill short of his ground on the attempted third run 61/517.5 finally, they've managed to dismiss him! Back to the short ball, Russell pulled, got a top-edge and it went high towards fine leg. Rabada ran from the circle and bumped into Tewatia who came in from the deep and took the catch rather easily. No damage done to either of them, thankfully, Rabada was only ball-watching 156/619.6 fullish to end the innings, he sends it down the ground to long-on and Kuldeep, for some reason, was saying 'no' for the second run, to be run-out ultimately 185/8Extras8 (lb 4, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL185/8 (20 Overs, RR: 9.25)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Nikhil Naik, 3.4 ov), 2-36 (Robin Uthappa, 5.6 ov), 3-40 (Chris Lynn, 6.5 ov), 4-44 (Nitish Rana, 7.1 ov), 5-61 (Shubman Gill, 9.1 ov), 6-156 (Andre Russell, 17.5 ov), 7-170 (Dinesh Karthik, 18.4 ov), 8-185 (Piyush Chawla, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR18.3 oh he's gone for 99, would you believe it. Ferguson was bowling one short delivery after another, this one angling in towards Shaw's head, he pulls, gets a top edge and Dinesh Karthik goes back a few steps towards short third man and takes the skier. Shaw is utterly disappointed with that, he would have been the youngest centurion in IPL 174/42.4 full outside off, down the track comes Dhawan again, and again, he gets too close to it and ends up toe-ending it straight to mid-off 27/111.6 Gill takes it this time, a tougher chance at the same position, and he kind of celebrates but the this umpire will check if his left leg was touching the boundary cushion. Iyer lifted that ball in the air with another flick as it was full again, Gill stayed still and this time caught it over his head while watching where his left leg was. Soft signal was out and the third umpire also says it's out 116/217.5 he's found the fielder in the deep! He pitched that waayy outside leg, Pant went closer to it, slog-swept while taking one hand off but didn't get much distance and holed out to deep midwicket 170/319.6 IT IS A SUPER OVER. Ingram went across a bit, Kuldeep pitched it on length just outside leg and Ingram swept it away, as Uthappa swooped in on the ball in the deep. Accurate throw, Ingram takes too much time to turn around for the second and he can't make it 185/619.5 he has found the fielder in the deep, who else but Shubman Gill. What a match this has turned out to be all of a sudden. Short ball, pulled away and it went straight to deep midwicket off Vihari's bat 184/5Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL185/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.25)Fall of wickets: 1-27 (Shikhar Dhawan, 2.4 ov), 2-116 (Shreyas Iyer, 11.6 ov), 3-170 (Rishabh Pant, 17.5 ov), 4-174 (Prithvi Shaw, 18.3 ov), 5-184 (Hanuma Vihari, 19.5 ov), 6-185 (Colin Ingram, 19.6 ov)
