- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.6 4, 4, W! Markram falls and LSG have lost their top three. Back of a length ball outside off stump, Markram pulls but doesn't get it near the middle. The short arm jab goes only as far as Washy, who is stationed right at cow corner 69/31.3 6, 4, out. What an eventful start to Rabada's spell. But this wicket is all that he will care about. He goes fuller on off stump at 129kph, Marsh looks to go up and over mid-off, but doesn't get it anywhere near the middle of the bat. Hits it straight down mid-off's throat where Gill makes no mistake 14/14.1 Siraj wins the battle against Pant and this is a body blow for LSG. Wobble-seam length ball angling across Pant at 139.9kph. He was looking to smash that across the line again, but the angle causes the miscue as the ball balloons straight up. Tewatia moves to his right from mid-off, settles under it and takes a good catch. 45/28.2 Another one bites the dust but GP almost made a mess of that catch. Hard length on off stump, he pulls this but doesn't get any power or timing behind it. The ball goes straight to Phillips at deep midwicket, where he loses it in the sun initially and goes the wrong way. But in the nick of time, he recovers and hangs on 74/414.3 Well, that's another tame end to Pooran's innings! Prasidh continues his wicket-taking ways, and this time it'sthe slower ball that does the job. Dug in short with pace off, and angled across Pooran, who looks to swat it away like a tennis forehand, but ends up lobbing an easy chance to mid-off 109/516.2 Samad picks out Phillips at deep midwicket Seam-up back of length delivery, 14.5kph outside off. Samad tries to get it over deep midwicket, but can't quite get the distance. Phillips dropped a difficult chance today, but he's made amends with two catches since then 118/618.1 The umpire raises his finger and the batter is walking. Prasidh has a fourth! Digs this offcutter bouncer into the pitch, short and wide. Choudhary looks to pull but gets a top edge that leaves Buttler with a straightforward catch. And that takes Prasidh to the top of the wicket charts this season 131/719.4 This time, the catch is taken! Probably Ashok Sharma's slowest ball, at 100.9kph, full toss around leg. Linde looks to flick it away and gets a leading edge that balloons to long-on and GT's Impact Sub does the job 157/8Extras9 (b 1, lb 5, w 3)TOTAL164/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.2)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Mitchell Marsh, 1.3 ov), 2-45 (Rishabh Pant, 4.1 ov), 3-69 (Aiden Markram, 6.6 ov), 4-74 (Ayush Badoni, 8.2 ov), 5-109 (Nicholas Pooran, 14.3 ov), 6-118 (Abdul Samad, 16.2 ov), 7-131 (Mukul Choudhary, 18.1 ov), 8-157 (George Linde, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.1 He strikes first ball and signs it in his notebook. Probably one of the worst deliveries that Rathi will ever pick a wicket, but he won't mind. Carrom ball but is a long-hop on leg stump. Sai Sudharsan could have deposited that anywhere, but instead he pulls it straight up with fine leg taking a simple catch 45/114.5 Gloved to the keeper! 138kph bouncer and Gill tries to take it on with the pull. It was too close to his body and it was rushing him and the ball lobs up off the gloves and Pant gets across to take a simple catch 129/215.4 Markram hangs on to a cracking catch! Slower ball around off and Buttler looks to go downtown. The bat turns in his hands as he hits this and doesn't get the distance on it. Markram runs to his left and leaps high to pluck it out of the air. GT suddenly lose two in two, in an attempt to get a move on 135/3Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL165/3 (18.4 Overs, RR: 8.83)Fall of wickets: 1-45 (Sai Sudharsan, 5.1 ov), 2-129 (Shubman Gill, 14.5 ov), 3-135 (Jos Buttler, 15.4 ov)
