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

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.
