- BATSMENRB4s6sSR15.1 given! Slower ball, on off stump, and Dhawan misses the big slog towards the leg side. Deceived by the lack of pace, and the ball hits his front leg. Impact in front of middle, and Gabbar's gotta go. Time out as well 141/38.4 flighted again, but this time he gets his dancing shoes on. Comes down the wicket, and tries to slog it over long on, but can't get the distance. Taken at long on! 79/112.5 back of a length outside off, and Williamson's forced to reach at it. Goes for the cut anyway, and he's perhaps timed it way too well! Straight to Russell at deep point, and the slower ball fetches Searles the big wicket! 127/219.1 full toss outside off, and that's been slogged towards the leg side. It's a flat shot, but Rinku Singh, the substitute, displays some excellent athleticism in the deep. Slides and takes a diving catch running forward. Prasidh applauds! 168/616.2 full on off, and in Pathan's slot. Goes for a big one, but toe-ends it unfortunately. Mid on, Uthappa, settles under it, and holds on to this catch. Narine strikes! 147/418.1 back of a length on off, and that's way too quick for Carlos. Tried to pull, finds the top edge. DK races forward and completes a comfortable catch. Russell wins the battle of the West Indians 161/519.4 good length on off, and too close to his body for the pull. Comes off the bat's top half, and Narine's under it at short fine leg. Great death-overs bowling from the youngster 172/719.5 back of a length outside off, and he tries to send this over cover! The slog finds the bat's outside edge, and that's a skier! Rana's at fine leg, but DK has called for the catch. Takes it from almost near the boundary, and then falls over due to the momentum. Fourth wicket for Krishna! 172/819.6 back of a length on off, and he fails to connect with the short ball! The batsman's trying for a suicidal run, and DK throws down the stumps. The fourth wicket of the over!

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR13.1 full on off, and in his arc! Lynn swings through, and hits it flat to wide long-on, but Pandey's in the deep! Takes the catch, but lobs it up as he's going over the line, then comes back, and finally completes the catch. Classic T20 catch 119/23.4 gets him this time. Slightly shorter and a similar slow pace from Shakib. Narine beaten in flight again and this time it's off the inside half of the bat as he looks to slog. Pandey runs in and completes the catch easily 52/116.3 falls to the pull once again! Wide outside off, but short. And that sends Uthappa chasing after it. Top-edges it, and Goswami runs towards square-leg to complete the catch. Brathwaite does the 'Run D World' dance 149/317.4 full just outside off, and Russell winds up for a big slog. Tries to send it over long off, but toe ends it this time. In the air for ages, and mid off settles under it 160/419.2 good length on off, and Rana succumbs! Tries to play the pull, but he's mistimed it to fine leg. Bhuvneshwar the man there.
