SIX runs
hiiiigh in the air and it's over the boundary. A top-edged six! He's got his eyes off the ball. He's cramped. He's just blindly heaving at a back of a length delivery meant to cramp him on leg stump. And yet even after being deceived like that, his sheer power bails him out

1 run
another yorker, tailing into the right-hander, almost like reverse swing and even the great Dre Russ ends up looking so clumsy. Nearly falls over as he tries to jam it out and keep it away from his stumps

heaves it out to deep midwicket, where Tye keeps it inside the ropes, knowing full well he doesn't need to take the catch because it's a free hit ball. All he concentrates on is keeping the ball in play and he does

(no ball)
nails him with the sweetest siren of a yorker! It is irresistible. Except for one tiny problem - it's a no-ball for only three fielders being inside the circle. There needs to be at least four. And as a result, Russell, who was bowled neck and crop by a ridiculously cool yorker on middle from round the wicket, gets a f...

whips it to the left of long leg, where the fielder Varun C isn't quick enough to stop the boundary. And so a good ball - a near-yorker on middle - ends up leaking runs. Uthappa batting deep in his crease, expecting the toe-crushers

nails the blockhole again from round the wicket and even with Dre Russ setting himself up for the slog, he can only get a single to long-on. Great execution under pressure from Shami. This is why he's in with a shout of playing the World Cup for India

bouncer! And it's angled into the right-hander, coming up to his head, cramping him up and quick in pace too. Russell goes for the hook and it just goes off the body and over to the keeper
