- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.2 reverse-swatting a fast bowler is not as easy as a spinner! The length is too full and the line too straight for the shot. Dhawan misses and Faulker rattles off stump 127/34.3 caught behind! Warner tries to make it three boundaries in a row in the point and third man region, so he goes back and cuts hard. This time the ball is not as short and the line is not as wide outside off, so he gets an edge that carries comfortably to the keeper 48/110.3 Henriques moves too early, backing away towards leg to slog, Tambe sees him going and fires the ball flat, fast and straight, cramping the batsman for room. Henriques swings across the line and misses. Bowled. 89/217.4 he's gone now, caught at long-off! Morgan smashed it again, flat and hard. That ball was travelling quickly but the man on the boundary is Steven Smith and he takes it easily. 180/4Extras15 (lb 5, w 10)TOTAL201/4 (20 Overs, RR: 10.05)Fall of wickets: 1-48 (David Warner, 4.3 ov), 2-89 (Moises Henriques, 10.3 ov), 3-127 (Shikhar Dhawan, 14.2 ov), 4-180 (Eoin Morgan, 17.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 caught behind! That is a top catch from Ojha, diving across first slip with his right arm outstretched to take the ball. Rahane had pushed forward at a good length ball that pitched around off and shaped away, getting a thick edge. After two wide balls in the over, this one was on a much better line. 8/13.6 caught at mid-on, Ishant has got rid of Watson! A tame dismissal that was. Watson tried to loft a good length ball over the fielder's head at mid-on but could not clear Praveen Kumar 30/214.2 Bopara's done it for Royals and look at that nonchalant nod from the bowler as his team-mates rush towards him in glee! Smith went deep into his crease to try and cut the ball, the length was a bit full and the line was too straight. He missed and Bopara hit. Is that the game? 121/57.3 Nair hasn't gone anywhere in this innings and the stagnation has got to him. He charged the bowler and slogged across the line, the delivery was on a good length and pretty straight, the ball flew straight up in the air and Ojha settled under the skier 45/310.6 caught in the deep! Hooda slogs at one outside off stump and mis-hits it towards wide long-off, about 2/3rds of the way in from the boundary, fielders from deep cover and long off run towards the ball, but Bhuvneshwar has made good ground from the straight boundary and he catches it at head height. He nearly over ran it 77/417.1 the finisher's gone! Bhuvneshwar bowls a low full toss, Faulkner can't get under it properly and ends up lofting it flat and straight to Bopara on the long-on boundary. It's all over. 145/617.4 bowled him! Bhuvneshwar adjusts his line outside off stump, and the length isn't a full toss, it is good. Samson tries to drag it from outside off towards leg and gets an inside edge on to the stumps. Should Samson have batted high today? What's he doing at No. 8? 157/7Extras7 (lb 6, w 1)TOTAL194/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.7)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Ajinkya Rahane, 0.6 ov), 2-30 (Shane Watson, 3.6 ov), 3-45 (Karun Nair, 7.3 ov), 4-77 (Deepak Hooda, 10.6 ov), 5-121 (Steven Smith, 14.2 ov), 6-145 (James Faulkner, 17.1 ov), 7-157 (Sanju Samson, 17.4 ov)
