Zaheer to Pardeep Sahu, FOUR, Sahu camps back and stays slightly leg-side of the ball to steer it past the diving de Kock for a boundary to third man
15.4 -
Jayant Yadav to Mohit Sharma, FOUR, another powerful blow by Mohit. Mohit slaps this flatter delivery to the extra cover boundary. It crashed into the ad-cushions there
14.3 -
Brathwaite to Axar, FOUR, crackerjack shot by Patel. PUN need more of it. Banged in short from Brathwaite, Patel rocks back a wee bit and then pulls it towards fine leg to collect a boundary
8.0 -
C Morris to Vohra, FOUR, that's flown off the top edge, or glove or something. Soars past the diving de Kock who isn't getting close to it. A searing short ball heading towards Vohra's temples, he takes it on but the ball gets too big in the end and he skews it off what looked like a faint top edge
6.3 -
Mishra to D Miller, FOUR, wrong line. Down leg and it's too easy for Miller despite being new at the crease. Sinks low on one knee and sweeps it fine
5.5 -
Brathwaite to Vohra, FOUR, he's coming into his own and this is just the kind of over which can swing momentum big time. Short of length ball outside off, Vohra arches a little and uses his bat as a trampoline to ramp it over the vacant slip cordon into the third man fence
5.4 -
Brathwaite to Vohra, FOUR, rammed over the covers! Full ball just outside off, and Vohra has skinned it. Goes hard and carves it to the fence
5.1 -
Brathwaite to Vohra, FOUR, the timing on that is heavenly. Length ball on the pads, and Vohra whips the flamingo flick behind square with all the grace in the world
4.4 -
Zaheer to S Marsh, FOUR, oh sweet! That's all class from Marsh. Only slightly short outside off, he waits on it and cuts it late behind backward point. Skimmed off the open bat-face and third man had no chance
1.5 -
Negi to S Marsh, FOUR, slides this across off but it's very short, Marsh waits on it and cuts it late to send it past backward point
1.2 -
Negi to Vohra, FOUR, this time he doesn't miss out. Not a full toss, but a very full ball drifting in towards off, Vohra clears his front leg to allow the bat to come through and lofts it gloriously inside out over extra-cover
19.2 -
Brathwaite to Pardeep Sahu, SIX, DEL would take any runs on offer. A six at this point of the innings is a bonus for them. The half-volley from Brathwaite, Sahu just butchers it over long-off for a maximum
15.3 -
Jayant Yadav to Mohit Sharma, SIX, lusty blow by Mohit. Pushed through and on the stumps, Mohit sinks on one knee and slog-sweeps it to over the deep mid-wicket fence
18.5 -
C Morris to Johnson, out Bowled!! DEL's planning and execution in the field has been top-drawer today. This time, Morris brings out the off-pace delivery by rolling his fingers on it. Johnson looks for the heave across the line and connects with thin air. His off-stump gets shattered. Johnson b C Morris 4(12)
17.1 -
Zaheer to Mohit Sharma, out Caught by C Morris!! Zaheer befuddles Mohit with a slower delivery. Mohit makes room and tries to loft a ball bowled at just 85 ks. He gets it off the outside part of the bat and Morris at backward point runs backwards to snaffle the catch. Mohit Sharma c C Morris b Zaheer 15(8) [4s-1 6s-1]
15.1 -
Jayant Yadav to Axar, out Caught by Negi!! The precession continues as Patel, too, loses his wicket. Shorter in length and Yadav offers width, Patel rocks back by using the depth of the crease. He cuts it towards Negi, the Pocket Rocket, at backward point, who dives forward and pouches the catch with both hands, just inches above the ground. The ball was dipping on him as well, there. Axar c Negi b Jayant Yadav 11(22) [4s-1]
13.0 -
Brathwaite to W Saha, out W Saha Run Out!! It feels like PUN are hurtling down towards another defeat. Saha just dabbed a back of a length delivery towards Duminy at backward point and set off for a quick single. However, Duminy swooped down on the ball quickly after putting in a dive and then underarmed it onto the stumps. Despite looking to get back to the crease, Saha found himself short. W Saha run out (Duminy) 3(7)
10.4 -
Mishra to Vohra, out Bowled!! Another incision has been made. The googly has done the trick for Mishra, Vohra doesn't read it and tries to pick it off the pitch. In the end, looks to cut and connects with thin air. His leg-stump takes a beating. Vohra b Mishra 32(24) [4s-5]
8.4 -
Mishra to Maxwell, out Caught by Brathwaite!! This is ridiculous batting. An absolutely nothing shot, and at a stage where the need of the hour is to spend some time. On a scale of 1 to 10 of pathetic, this is 50. I don't even know what his intentions were. Well flighted leg-break on off, Maxwell chips it in the air and straight to long-off where Brathwaite runs forward and plunges low to take. Speechless... Maxwell c Brathwaite b Mishra 0(3)
8.1 -
Mishra to D Miller, out Lbw!! Now Miller is gone. They've got to stop doing this, have Punjab. Losing wickets consistently is hurting them and that charge keeps getting delayed. Slowish ball which skids on and strikes Miller low down on the front pad as he misses the sweep, and the umpire raises his finger in a flash. Oh wait, the replays show it's pitching marginally outside leg. Or marginally inside. It's too close to call. Fair enough by the umpire actually, looked good in real time. A strategic time-out has been taken. D Miller lbw b Mishra 9(9) [4s-1]
6.1 -
Mishra to S Marsh, out Stumped!! Marsh gives Mishra the charge first ball and summons his own doom. He's not even given himself the chance to take a look at the leggie. Comes galloping down the track looking to slog it hard over mid-wicket, but it spins profusely and goes through bat and pad. de Kock makes the stumping look so easy. So, after a good last over, Punjab have been dented again. S Marsh st de Kock b Mishra 13(16) [4s-2]
1.3 -
Negi to Vohra, out Vijay Run Out!! 2 runs completed! Zaheer has dropped a dolly running back from cover, but have the batsmen saved his blushes? They might well have, and Vijay is the victim of some awful running. Sliced behind cover as Vohra tries an encore of the previous ball, Zaheer puts it down and chases after it before relaying it to Karun who was backing up. He fires a rocket throw to de Kock and Vijay is yards short. Vijay run out (Nair/de Kock) 1(5)
