whipped over extra this time! And off the back foot. Welcome back, AB. Ridiculous shots. Doing precisely what the bowler wants him to do and still managing sixes. This was short and rising up in the corridor. He leaped up at it and flat-batted it well in front of square

clubbed over extra cover! Sandeep was looking to take away the slog and the scoop with that last ball. Goes with the same ball again, length, slow and wide. This time he waits for it and hits it on the up, way way back. Stunning hit on a slow pitch

taken at deep midwicket. Length ball at middle stump, hangs back and looks to slog that over the midwicket boundary. It's come off the inside half and Rashid settles comfortably underneath that to take the catch. His first real attempt at clearing the boundary today and it doesn't come off.

that is plumb. Or looks plumb anyway. Two in two for SRH. Full and in at middle stump. Finch plants the front leg well across and looks to sweep him. Caught in front of middle stump. Didn't come off at all for Finch tonight. That looked like a carrom ball from Sharma. Certianly the knuckles involved anyway. Seam pointed towards first slip.

bowled him! And a big celebration from Shankar. He has his man. Full and slanted into leg stump. He gets the front leg out of the way and looks to clobber that into the leg side stands.
