beautifully done! Watson does nothing more than keep his shape, wait for the full delivery to come to him, and then unleashes a whirl of his wrists that sends the ball over midwicket. Outstanding T20 batting

dropped at slip Dhawan is standing a bit wide there, diving low to his left, gets one hand to it but the ball bursts through. Good stuff again from Ishant, bowling it short and bringing the natural variation from the pitch into play. In this case, it was some seam movement away from the batsman who tries to defend

what a shot that is! Harbhajan has kept Pant quiet with this tactic of bowling it flat and hard into the pitch, and making him reach for the ball. On this occasion the line is closer to off stump, and he leans back and flat-bats it over long-off's head. Incredible. He didn't have much room there to free his arms, but h...
