OUT
slower ball, wide outside off, and he steers a cut-shot straight to the fielder at point! Dives diagonally to his right to take the catch, but umpire Gaffaney Llong wants to check with the TV umpire if that's carried. Soft signal: out. Replays make things even more complicated. From some angles it looks like a bump-bal...

no run
length ball, outside off and turning further away. Vijay tries to cut, but misses, and QdK quickly whips the bails off. They're checking for a stumping chance because Vijay had lost his balance while trying to play that shot. Replays suggest he's got something behind the line. Safe

2 runs
Vijay survives a run-out call. Nudges this short of a length ball through the vacant square leg region. Comes back for the second. The throw is prompt and hard and Rohit does superbly to lunge low to his right and catch it before flicking it onto the stumps. Marginally in

1 run
missed run-out at the non-striker's end! Poor running from Shorey. Cuts to point and is caught ball watching. Vijay is nearly past him when he responds and there's time, because it's an easy single. But he then jogs, for some reason, not even trying to make it to his crease. Chahar picks up a poor throw and then makes ...

OUT
chopped it on! Arm ball again! A lot slower this time, but just as effective because it's short of a length. He gets on the back foot to try and play the late cut, but he's right in front of the stumps with an angled bat and he can only get it onto the stumps off the under-edge

FOUR runs
just falls short of Krunal and the cruel price to pay for his ambition is that this ball trickles behind him into the backward square boundary. Short of a length and Vijay not in control of the pull. Too late on it and ends up lobbing it up in that direction. Krunal sprints in some 10-15 yards and dives forward wholehe...

taken at point! Yikes, Raina looked completely out of sorts there. A couple of steps into the leg side, reaching out a long way to this length ball outside off and a aimless swipe from under it.

no run
left alone by Hardik, despite it being just a length delivery. Maybe he expected the ball to bounce some more, but it didn't, and that's a free dot ball added to Deepak Chahar's account

1 run
sliced but drops short of Raina running in from cover. This was a short ball that Hardik couldn't get on top of due to the extra bounce. But wait, Raina has hurt himself trying to field. He hobbles across the ground before falling onto the ground. Looks like he's put some extra pressure on his ankle.

no run
back of a length, wide outside off, but this is the slower ball too. Pollard walks across to the off side, but misses, completely deceived by the lack of pace. Rayudu throws the ball over Pollard's head, and nearly hits the back of the batsman's head. Luckily it doesn't, and Rayudu and Pollard share a smile
