Ben Cutting [3.0-0-28-0] is back into the attack

18.5 Bhuvneshwar to Tymal Mills, out Caught by Warner!! Good lord, that’s got air miles on it. Way up into the night sky, Warner settles under it at long-on and takes it. Bhuvneshwar had slowed the pace down on the delivery, causing Mills to go through with the hoick too early. Right off the toe-end of the bat. Tymal Mills c Warner b Bhuvneshwar 6(3) [6s-1]
Bhuvneshwar to Tymal Mills, THAT’S OUT!! Caught!!

18.4 Bhuvneshwar to Tymal Mills, SIX, full and wide, Mills has a proper dash at it and he’s flayed it away over the point boundary. Magnificent hit. Bhuvneshwar won’t enjoy that

18.2 Bhuvneshwar to Chahal, no run, full ball on off, Chahal keeps it out

17.6 Nehra to Chahal, no run, getting a subtle amount of swing but it’s enough to beat the bat. Chahal’s feet aren’t moving well enough for him to cover the angle

Yuzvendra Chahal, right handed bat, comes to the crease

17.4 Nehra to Aravind, out Bowled!! Terrific yorker from Nehra; a perfect way to seal wicket no. 100 in the IPL for the veteran pacer. The ball tails back in, zips through Aravind before his bat could come down and plants leg-stump into its grave. Nehra on a hat-trick. Aravind b Nehra 0(2)

Nehra to Aravind, THAT’S OUT!! Bowled!!

17.3 Nehra to Watson, out Caught by Henriques!! That’s the end of Watson, and of RCB. The little bit of reverse-swing which Nehra uses to curl the ball away from Watson does his undoing. Despite it being another full toss, Watson slices it straight up off the outside half of his bat. Simple catch at extra-cover. Watson c Henriques b Nehra 22(17) [4s-1 6s-1]

Nehra to Watson, THAT’S OUT!! Caught!!

16.5 Bhuvneshwar to Binny, out Caught by Yuvraj!! Gone this time. Yuvraj makes no mistake at backward point. What a top over this has been from Bhuvneshwar. It may now be a mountain too high for the RCB to climb. Binny backs away to slash a back of a length delivery over point. But this is a leg-cutter which bounces spongily and he slices it up to the fielder. Binny c Yuvraj b
Bhuvneshwar 11(10) [6s-1]
Bhuvneshwar to Binny, THAT’S OUT!! Caught!!

16.4Bhuvneshwar to Watson, 1 run, another wide yorker, Watson slices it down to third man

16.3 Bhuvneshwar to Watson, no run, excellent wide yorker. We’re seeing some class death bowling. Watson left it alone hoping for a wide but it’s well in

16.2 Bhuvneshwar to Binny, 1 run, dropped! Naman Ojha, with the gloves on, puts one down. The ball went high up and was swirling awkwardly all the way through. But at this level, it should be taken. Binny was completely duped by the slower leg-cutter. Such good bowling from Bhuvi to keep it wide of off and out of reach

16.1 Bhuvneshwar to Watson, 1 run, excellent ball. Way too full for Watson to get under it. He jams it down the ground to long-off

15.6 Cutting to Watson, 1 run, low full toss tailing in on leg stump, Watson whips it straight to deep mid-wicket. The timing was exquisite and the ball would have raced away had he placed it even slightly better

15.5 Cutting to Watson, FOUR, plants his foot down and absolutely drills the ball wide of a diving extra-cover. Overpitched from Cutting, Watson blasts him away

15.4 Cutting to Watson, no run, slower ball outside off, Watson drives to mid-off. Binny had to run two halves of the pitch by himself as he got no response from Watson on the single

15.3 Cutting to Binny, 1 run, short of length just outside off, strange shot here from Binny who was initially ducking and then tried to ramp it as an afterthought. Miscues it towards short third man

15.2 Cutting to Binny, SIX, slower ball again but this time Binny hacks it over deep mid-wicket. It was slightly closer to off-stump and was given a fair tonk

15.1 Cutting to Binny, no run, clever delivery. A slower back of a length delivery wide of off, the ball dips on Binny as he slashes and misses

14.6 Rashid Khan to Watson, SIX, Rashid finishes with a long hop. To be fair, it’s not abysmally short, but Watson is so good on the back foot. Rocks back quickly and hammers the pull over long-on

14.5 Rashid Khan to Binny, 1 run, googly which is slightly wide of off, Binny waits for it before dabbing it to backward point

14.4 Rashid Khan to Binny, no run, huge shout for leg-before as Binny misses the sweep, but the impact is slightly outside off. Binny premeditates the shot against a very full ball. Rashid is all over him

14.3 Rashid Khan to Binny, no run, Binny has missed this by at least six inches. He had absolutely no clue. Quick through the air, the wrong ‘un again and it snakes back in from middle to hit the pad. Didn’t pick it at all

14.2 Rashid Khan to Watson, 1 run, loves the googly. Bowls a lot of it. Watson picks it on this occasion and nudges it to the right of Rashid

Stuart Binny, right handed bat, comes to the crease

13.4 Bipul Sharma to Sachin Baby, out Caught by Henriques!! Straight up off a leading edge, taken! SRH taking control. There’s no turn on the ball as Bipul fires it on leg-stump from round the wicket, Baby swings across the line and is undone by the sliding delivery. Good catch from Henriques too. He pedalled backwards from mid-wicket and made it much easier than it should have

13.3 Bipul Sharma to Watson, 1 run, flat through the air, slightly short, Watson pulls to deep square leg

13.2 Bipul Sharma to Sachin Baby, 1 run, makes a bit of room and punches it down to long-off

Bipul Sharma, left-arm orthodox, comes into the attack
Bipul introduced and will get us underway after the break.
Time to get the second strategic timeout out of the way! Two new men at the crease for RCB and it looks like a tall order from here unless we see something special from the skipper.

12.6 Rashid Khan to Watson, no run, flat, pushes the leg-break through just outside off, the ball grips and beats Watson’s attempted punch through the covers
Sachin Baby, left handed bat, comes to the crease

12.5 Rashid Khan to Head, out Caught by Yuvraj!! Rashid strikes back! That might have been the googly. Yeah, it seems so. Head went for another slog-sweep, but due to the variation, Rashid managed to generate some extra-bounce which took more of a thick top-edge and lobbed up towards long-on. It still came really close to clearing the boundary though. Yuvraj keeps his cool and takes it smartly. Head c Yuvraj b Rashid Khan 30(22) [4s-3]
Rashid Khan to Head, THAT’S OUT!! Caught!!

12.4 Rashid Khan to Head, FOUR, goes down and smashes the full toss over the deep mid-wicket ropes. Some nerves maybe from the Afghanistan leggie and Head pounced all over them with a mighty slog-sweep

Shane Watson, right handed bat, comes to the crease

11.4 Henriques to Kedar Jadhav, out Kedar Jadhav Run Out!! 1 run completed. Cutting has conjured a wicket out of nowhere. That’s a sensational throw from the deep. My goodness. He’s absolutely nailed the stump from long leg and Jadhav is out of here. This is a huge moment in the context of the match, especially as Jadhav was looking so good. Even this shot which he played was extraordinary. Kedar Jadhav run out (Cutting) 31(16) [4s-4 6s-1]
Henriques to Kedar Jadhav, THAT’S OUT!! Run Out!!

11.3 Henriques to Head, 1 run, has an almighty heave at a back of a length delivery but miscues it to long leg

11.1 Henriques to Kedar Jadhav, 1 run, steps out of the crease way before Henriques has released the ball. Henriques adjusts and pulls the length back a touch to contain Jadhav to a steer towards backward point

10.6 Nehra to Kedar Jadhav, 1 run, nails the pull off the back foot but it goes straight to fine leg. The fielder was pushed back for this ball

10.5 Nehra to Kedar Jadhav, FOUR, four more. Jadhav starting to really find his timing now and he’s looking dangerous. This is smart batting rather than just throwing his bat at everything. He knows that fine leg is up and so he waits for the back of a length delivery to come to him before pulling it over the fielder. Nehra under pressure

10.4 Nehra to Kedar Jadhav, FOUR, another full toss, it’s Jadhav this time and he picks his spot into the deep mid-wicket fence. Not great bowling from Nehra. He’s missing the yorker by quite a bit

10.3 Nehra to Head, 1 run, two out of two. That’s two full tosses in this over now which Head has crunched but found the fielder in the deep. Flogs it on the bounce to deep square leg

10.2 Nehra to Kedar Jadhav, 1 run, short of length into the body of Jadhav, he tucks it into the square leg region for a single

10.2 Nehra to Kedar Jadhav, wide, strays down the leg-side, Jadhav swishes and misses

10.1 Nehra to Head, 1 run, walks at Nehra and takes it on the full before whipping the delivery backward of square on the on-side. Could have been two had they pushed hard as long leg had some distance to cover
9.6 Henriques to Kedar Jadhav, FOUR, hit straight back at Henriques and he was late to get his hand up. Once more the off-cutter which almost fooled Jadhav, who shimmied down and checked his drive, middled it alright to beat the mid-off fielder

9.5 Henriques to Head, 1 run, bit sloppy from the Australian. Very full and Head drives it back to the bowler

9.4 Henriques to Head, no run, clever from Henriques. Rolls his fingers across the ball and robs it off all the pace, Head’s attempt to run it down to third man is foiled by the slowness on the delivery

9.3 Henriques to Kedar Jadhav, 1 run, short and outside off, Jadhav cuts it straight to sweeper cover

9.2 Henriques to Head, 1 run, might have been the slower one from Henriques as Head checked his push, got it to the left of the bowler and down to long-on

9.1 Henriques to Head, FOUR, Head does the most of the full length delivery, stays deep in the crease and opens himself up to free his arms.

9.1 Henriques to Kedar Jadhav, no ball, 1 run, both umpires have their hand up, a high full toss from Henriques, a surprised Jadhav does well to get some bat and tuck it behind square leg

Moises Henriques, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack

Strategic time-out! RCB have stayed alive in the game thanks the to 52-run opening stand.

8.6 Cutting to Kedar Jadhav, 1 run, off-speed delivery and Jadhav mistimes the drive wide of cover, calls for a quick single and Head responds

8.5 Cutting to Kedar Jadhav, SIX, that looked like a half-hearted shot from Jadhav and it has travelled the distance. Picked the back of a length delivery and pulled it to the vacant deep mid-wicket region, just cleared the rope

8.4 Cutting to Head, 1 run, short and outside off, Head cuts it square and the sweeper keeps it to a single
Some confusion regarding the field placings. Cutting counts and there are only three men inside the ring.

8.3 Cutting to Kedar Jadhav, 1 run, dug in short and barely gets up to chest height, Jadhav cue-ends the pull in front of fine leg

8.2 Cutting to Kedar Jadhav, no run, short and wide outside off, Jadhav chops the cut towards cover. Went a bit too hard and lost his shape as well as his balance

8.2 Cutting to Kedar Jadhav, wide, sprays it down leg and Jadhav moved inside the line to help it on its way, missed and collects a wide

8.1 Cutting to Head, 1 run, short of length around off, Head shuffles across and clips it to deep mid-wicket

7.6 Rashid Khan to Kedar Jadhav, FOUR, ordinary delivery from Rashid and Jadhav is all over it. The young man is shaking his head while taking his cap from the umpire. Half tracker which sat up nicely for Jadhav, who pulls it between deep mid-wicket and long-on

7.5 Rashid Khan to Head, 1 run, on the thighs and tucked away square on the leg-side

7.4 Rashid Khan to Kedar Jadhav, 1 run, googly and not sure Jadhav picked it, ekes out an inside edge onto the pad and the ball deflects to square leg

7.3 Rashid Khan to Head, 1 run, eases the drive to long-off

7.2 Rashid Khan to Head, 2 runs, now uses his wrists to work one in the gap, right between long-on and deep mid-wicket. Called for two and Jadhav made it in with ease

7.1 Rashid Khan to Head, FOUR, lots of flighted and lands as a half volley, Head gets a good stride forward and drives it past Henriques at extra cover.

6.5 Deepak Hooda to Head, 1 run, an extended forward defence past the diving Hooda, down to long-off

6.4 Deepak Hooda to Head, no run, driven firmly to extra cover
Kedar Jadhav, right handed bat, comes to the crease

6.3 Deepak Hooda to Gayle, out Caught by Warner!! It was an experiment from Warner and it has paid off. Completes the catch, turns towards the crowd and does a fist pump. miscues it towards long-off and Warner ain’t dropping those. Gayle c Warner b Deepak Hooda 32(21) [4s-2 6s-3]

6.2 Deepak Hooda to Gayle, SIX, a gift from Hooda and Gayle thumps it over the rope. A full toss outside off, Gayle takes a step out and slots it straight back over the bowler’s head. Went miles back into the crowd

6.1 Deepak Hooda to Gayle, no run, knocked to extra cover
Deepak Hooda, right-arm off break, comes into the attack
End of the powerplay and it is a good start for RCB.

5.6 Rashid Khan to Head, no run, very full and Head digs it out to mid-off. Excellent start from Rashid, a wicket in his first over and just the six runs

5.5 Rashid Khan to Head, 2 runs, drifting onto the pads and that’s easy pickings for Head, tucks it square and jogs back for the second

5.4 Rashid Khan to Mandeep, out Bowled!! He strikes! The customary celebration follows. One hand up and the finger pointing skywards. The quicker wrong ‘un and Mandeep clearly did not pick it, went back for the cut and gets cramped for room, only manages a chop onto the stumps. Mandeep b Rashid Khan 24(16) [4s-5]

5.3Rashid Khan to Mandeep, no run, googly on the shorter side and Mandeep cuts it to cover-point

5.2 Rashid Khan to Mandeep, FOUR, Rashid throws it up once more and this time Mandeep threads the crowded off-side field. Overpitched and Mandeep went full-throttle on the drive, raced to the sweeper fence

5.1 Rashid Khan to Mandeep, no run, floated up outside off, Mandeep drives and picks out extra cover
Rashid Khan, right-arm leg break, comes into the attack

4.6 Cutting to Gayle, FOUR, not convincing, but Gayle will take that. A very good over from Cutting. Just misses the length this ball, goes full and that allows Gayle to get underneath and hoick it over mid-wicket. Not off the middle but enough to clear the fielder

4.5 Cutting to Gayle, no run, another dot. Cutting is bowling to his field. He’s packed the off-side field and bowled accordingly. Short of length and just outside off, punched to extra cover

4.4 Cutting to Gayle, no run, beaten! Cutting is mixing it up nicely. Back of length and just outside off, Gayle goes for the big heave to the leg-side and it is turning out to be an excellent over so far

4.4 Cutting to Gayle, wide, the ploy is clear from Cutting, kept away from Gayle’s bat. Slanted outside off, Gayle went chasing after it and is almost swept off his feet, fails to connect and the umpire calls it a wide

4.3 Cutting to Gayle, no run, good length ball just outside off, drilled to mid-off, straight to Warner
Third man in and two men deep on the leg-side..

4.2 Cutting to Gayle, no run, the set-up from Cutting. Follows the bouncer with a full and wide one, Gayle did not back away from the challenge, he wanted to carve it over mid-off but is nowhere close to the ball

4.1 Cutting to Gayle, no run, umpire Llong at square leg calls one for the over. Cutting introduces himself with a bouncer, right near Gayle’s head, the Jamaican half-ducks and evades it comfortably

3.6 Bhuvneshwar to Mandeep, FOUR, Mandeep is playing the perfect foil to Gayle. Warner already worried. Full on middle and leg, whipped through mid-wicket and mid-on. Hit uppishly but placed it expertly in the gap

3.5 Bhuvneshwar to Gayle, 1 run, sensible batting. Acknowledges the fact that this delivery was not hittable, taps it with soft hands in front of mid-off and scampers across for a quick single

3.4 Bhuvneshwar to Gayle, no run, on a length and just outside off, knocked to extra cover

3.4 Bhuvneshwar to Gayle, wide, that is the impact Gayle has on bowlers. Even a generally accurate Bhuvneshwar loses his radar, fires it full and well outside off, cuts the tramline and is called for it

3.3 Bhuvneshwar to Gayle, 2 runs, too straight, on middle and leg, flicked away behind square and it is wide enough of the deep square leg fielder for Gayle to come back for the second

3.2 Bhuvneshwar to Gayle, SIX, Gayle is in the mood. Mind you, he’s not been in the best of forms, but IPL is his cup of tea. Bhuvneshwar dishes a full length delivery and hopes to get away with it, Gayle doesn’t allow him to, carves it over long-on for his second maximum

3.1 Bhuvneshwar to Mandeep, 1 run, back of a length on off, Singh is cramped for room and mistimes the pull through mid-wicket

2.6 Nehra to Gayle, SIX, that ball hung in the night sky for eternity. Never looked like coming down. For what it’s worth Gayle gets the maximum result. Length delivery right in the swinging zone and Gayle did not hold back, went full-monty and heaved it over deep mid-wicket. Six number one for Gayle in IPL 10

2.5 Nehra to Mandeep, 1 run, very full and almost in the blockhole, squeezed to third man
Round the wicket now..

2.4 Nehra to Mandeep, FOUR, might have been the slower one and Mandeep picked the bones out of that one. He cleared his front leg to give him more options and then slots the loft over mid-on, one bounce and over the rope

2.3Nehra to Gayle, 1 run, short of length on off, Gayle swats the pull to deep square leg

2.2 Nehra to Gayle, FOUR, Nehra goes back to the shorter length, Gayle seems a tad comfortable with that, hops on one leg and uses Nehra’s pace to guide it past the diving short fine leg fielder

2.1 Nehra to Gayle, no run, how did that miss the off-pole? Pitched up and Gayle thought it was in the arc for him, he didn’t account for the inward movement and the ball beats the inside edge, almost kissed the sticks on the way to Ojha

1.6 Bhuvneshwar to Mandeep, no run, just the single. Back of length and outside off, Mandeep stands tall and flays it to Yuvraj at cover-point. A tidy start from Bhuvi after an expensive one from Nehra

1.5 Bhuvneshwar to Mandeep, no run, fuller and just outside off, defended off the front foot

1.4 Bhuvneshwar to Mandeep, no run, for the second time in the innings Mandeep goes hard on the drive and mistimes it back to Bhuvi. He needs to remember how he got his second boundary

1.3 Bhuvneshwar to Gayle, 1 run, now squared up. Shortens the length and gets it to hold its line around off, Gayle is going nowhere with his feet, just gets opened up and uses the bat face to run down to third man

1.2 Bhuvneshwar to Gayle, no run, good length ball on the stumps, Gayle rooted to the crease, brings his bat in front of the pad and keeps it out. He never looks comfortable against Bhuvi

1.1 Bhuvneshwar to Gayle, no run, almost a nick! Throws the bait outside off for Gayle, the Jamaican goes for an ambitious drive without any foot movement.

0.6 Nehra to Mandeep, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries to end the first over. Again, Nehra is a tad short in his length, Mandeep had the width to cut and he didn’t try to hit it hard, just placed it behind point and Bhuvi at third man gave up the chase pretty quickly

0.5 Nehra to Mandeep, FOUR, first boundary for Mandeep and RCB. Full and on the pads, needed to be put away and Mandeep did just that, picked it up and dispatched it over mid-wicket, couple of bounces and into the fence

0.4 Nehra to Mandeep, 2 runs, the call was two as soon as Mandeep played that, since the ball was into the vast vacant areas Gayle was game. Short of length and Mandeep is almost cramped for room, but somehow manages to get the pull away in front of square on the leg-side

0.3 Nehra to Mandeep, no run, touch short and hint of space outside off, Mandeep cracks the cut straight to cover-point

0.2 Nehra to Mandeep, no run, on a length and slanted outside off, Mandeep drives sans footwork and the big inside edge rolls to the right of Nehra

0.1 Nehra to Gayle, 1 run, bit of shape for Nehra. Back of a length delivery just outside off, Gayle is opeened up in his crease and he opens the bat face to run it down to third man, he is off the mark
Gayle and Mandeep are at the crease. Gayle is on strike. Nehra will open the attack
———————————————————————————————————————–
207 runs and just the four wickets

19.6 Watson to Cutting, SIX, a dramatic photo finish. Watson tries another short one but this time Cutting ain’t surprised. Stands up, uses his entire height to good effect and smokes it away. Admiring it as he does so. As flat as the bat motion could get

19.5 Watson to Cutting, no run, a smart change up. Bangs it in and it sponges over a surprised bat

19.4 Watson to Cutting, 2 runs, keeps striding behind. Keeps shuffling across. And keeps drilling it away, this time to long-on

19.3 Watson to Cutting, SIX, the yorkers too cannot stop the bleeding. Cutting rocks way inside, crouches, gets underneath the supposed yorker and carries on from the finals a year ago in tonking the drive

19.2 Watson to Deepak Hooda, 1 run, makes Hooda stretch. In reaching out to this wide one. Loses his bat too in the process as he stabs it square

19.1 Watson to Cutting, 1 run, clears the front leg, gets the bat down with a massive swing and squirts it off the outside portion of the blade behind square

18.6 Tymal Mills to Deepak Hooda, no run, gets away in looking to guide it through the cordon. Nope, this is no Yuvi. And nope, there is no connection

18.5 Tymal Mills to Cutting, 1 run, gets behind and muscles the mow down the ground
Ben Cutting, right handed bat, comes to the crease

18.4 Tymal Mills to Yuvraj, out Bowled!! The zings light up. The crowd refuses to believe and keep searching for the ball. A swat across the line is missed eventually and the top of leg takes the brunt. This has been some serious clock roll back here. Makes me feel 10 years younger. Yuvraj b Tymal Mills 62(27) [4s-7 6s-3]
Tymal Mills to Yuvraj, THAT’S OUT!! Bowled!!

18.3Tymal Mills to Yuvraj, SIX, the murder continues. Mass murder. Another spirit buries itself inside this pitch. Overcompensates going short, going quick but the response is quicker. Is brutal too. Back to his high backlifted pulls. Gravity too cannot pull it down

18.2Tymal Mills to Yuvraj, FOUR, full, down leg. Nothing right with that. Certainly not if fine leg is inside. Certainly not if that man is Chris Gayle. All Yuvraj has to do is get the bat down in giving it some tickle. And places it wide and into the ropes

18.1Tymal Mills to Deepak Hooda, 1 run, makes him wait. And wait some more. All that for the fastest bowler’s bouncer to get up to him. Tries some sort of a right angled forearm pull
Online 3 years bike insurance in 1 policy!

17.6 Aniket Choudhary to Deepak Hooda, 1 run, walks well inside his crease. Even behind his stumps. In his attempt to get under the skin of the yorker to whip it in front of square

17.5 Aniket Choudhary to Deepak Hooda, 2 runs, something to the bowler. After having a half-century against his name. A nice height on the bouncer and Hooda with his desperate attempt to keep the ball out gets the bat up and fends it out.

17.4 Aniket Choudhary to Yuvraj, 1 run, almost the wide yorker. For a change it is just a single with a slice to third man

17.3 Aniket Choudhary to Yuvraj, FOUR, a salute in celebration. Takes the bat to his head in holding it up to his team mates inside.

17.3 Aniket Choudhary to Yuvraj, wide, and more of it. Serious pressure telling here. Can’t blame him. There are RCB people feeling it here in our box. Fires it in way outside off

17.3 Aniket Choudhary to Yuvraj, wide, a scared wide. Tries the yorker off-paced stuff. Way outside the permissable limits

17.2 Aniket Choudhary to Deepak Hooda, 1 run, off the outer half of the bat as the slice gets skewed big time. Over point

17.1 Aniket Choudhary to Deepak Hooda, SIX, the march to the double ton gets another gear. And some help from Chahal in tipping it over the fence. Hooda opens up and uses his entire height to good effect in his tall pull. Mid-wicket takes another one in its kitty

16.6 Tymal Mills to Deepak Hooda, 1 run, 105kph. The slower one gets slower. Cracked away square

16.5 Tymal Mills to Deepak Hooda, no run, another slower one. Goes bumper though. Hooda wants to duck but the ball just doesn’t get up to him.

16.4 Tymal Mills to Yuvraj, 1 run, the slower one. The first of the day. The first of many more to come.

16.3 Tymal Mills to Yuvraj, FOUR, head on. The battle continues. With Mills keen on cramping him up with the short pepper gets it barely up to the ribs. Just when he spots the bat going flat and the face pointing upwards in hooking it away.

16.2 Tymal Mills to Yuvraj, no run, sheer pace. Beats him for a change with his attempt to guide it away

16.1 Tymal Mills to Deepak Hooda, 1 run, 132kph, a warm up pounder on the shorter side outside off. A hopping ramp down to third man
15.6 Chahal to Deepak Hooda, 1 run, a quick move inside the line and nudges it rather softly behind square
15.5 Chahal to Yuvraj, 1 run, is that a bird? Is that a plane? Oh it is Mandeep Singh on his flying ways. Yuvraj goes through with yet another ones of his delightful airy drives. Is in the process of admiration just as Mandy runs across at the long-off fence.

15.4Chahal to Deepak Hooda, 1 run, an along the carpet tuck off the boots in front of square
15.3 Chahal to Yuvraj, 1 run, could have been another. Oh it had to be another. And Yuvi the cat lives another life. Half a swat, before checking it at the very last moment in almost pulling out of it.

15.2 Chahal to Henriques, out Caught by Sachin Baby!! Some normalcy restored. And as always is the case, it is spin that gets on that duty. Chahal doesn’t mind giving it some air inviting the big swing. And gets just that.They’re checking the foot’s behaviour – just inside the permissable limits. Henriques c Sachin Baby b Chahal 52(37) [4s-3 6s-2]

15.1 Chahal to Henriques, no run, a quick, flat dart on middle. A rare dot in patting it back to the bowler

14.6 Aravind to Henriques, 1 run, a low full toss. Misses the yorker by a cool few inches. But a polite response in knocking it down the ground
14.5 Aravind to Henriques, SIX, now Henriques joins the act. Wants to ive his partner a run for his money. A run for some crowd catchers. Keeps banging it in short with the pitch sucking away all the momentum. Another mow across to give the crowd some work. Brings up his fifty. In some style
14.4 Aravind to Yuvraj, 1 run, doesn’t bother keeping the clip off the pads down. Nice bat swing to deposit this on the bounce to the covering up fine leg
14.3 Aravind to Yuvraj, SIX, into the first tier. And a standing admire from Yuvraj. Aravind serves a pie with the short sitter and heaved away. So very typical. Equally friendly bowling here as well
14.2 Aravind to Henriques, 1 run, nipping in through the air. More of the flicks off the boots
14.1 Aravind to Henriques, FOUR, on the charge. And the slap. The combo bags yet another fence hunter. Walks down, intercepts the length and gets on top of the bounce of this back of a length delivery in flaying it in front of square
Sreenath Aravind [2.0-0-17-0] is back into the attack

13.6 Watson to Henriques, 1 run, the straighter yorker this time, on the base of the sticks. Flicked away through mid-on
13.5 Watson to Henriques, no run, 132kph. Smart stuff. Teases Henriques with the wide yorker. And does it successfully for a change. With the feet refusing to move the non-connection with the drive is no surprise
13.4 Watson to Yuvraj, 1 run, keeps aiming for the full wide ones. A shuffle across and a whip executed to deep mid-wicket
13.3 Watson to Henriques, 1 run, full, veering in on the pads. The sensible ploy here from Moises in knocking the singles. This time to mid-wicket with a wrist roll

13.2 Watson to Yuvraj, 1 run, swings his bat out at a wide one away from his body. Directs the outside edge to third man
13.1 Watson to Yuvraj, FOUR, back to the usual. Is this a surprise anymore. This time the skipper decides to test him with a short one, one that neither has the pace nor the bounce. And obliged with a swat.
12.6 Aniket Choudhary to Yuvraj, 1 run, oh Aravind. You really do not grant a life. Certainly not to this guy. Another compulsive pull here from Yuvraj but with the ball gaining in height, only manages the top-edge.
12.5 Aniket Choudhary to Yuvraj, 2 runs, reaches out with every cell of his body reaching out and stabs it behind point
12.5 Aniket Choudhary to Yuvraj, wide, way too wide. Cutting the tramline. Too defensive for the umpire to forgive after Yuvraj refuses to mess around
12.4 Aniket Choudhary to Yuvraj, no run, finally the bat withdrawal. Decides for a change to spare the agony with a bat pull out of the way of a short pepper
12.3 Aniket Choudhary to Yuvraj, FOUR, and it keeps getting better. Rocks back, stands tall, waits for the short drag down to sit up and swats in his swivel. All the crunch in the timing to reintroduce it back into the fence
12.2 Aniket Choudhary to Yuvraj, SIX, whoa. This is getting back in the 2007 zone. Choudhary without a clue as to where to bowl goes full and wide. The mind-reader gets the front leg out and unleashes a full bat swing showing the maker’s name in tonking it right on the extra cover ropes
12.1 Aniket Choudhary to Yuvraj, FOUR, streaky. But the runs keeps leaking. Does it really matter how. Wide, half way down the track and Yuvraj anticipates the ball to fizz up in flat batting it across. There’s barely any climb
11.6 Aravind to Yuvraj, 1 run, back to granting the width after overcompensating. A carve down to third man
11.5 Aravind to Yuvraj, FOUR, here’s the pick up. Vintage Yuvraj. Helped by an allying half volley on the pads at gentle pace and all he does with it is lovingly lofts his flick. All the timing and a bounce into the mid-wicket fence
11.4 Aravind to Henriques, 1 run, a flash. With all the wrists in wielding the sword. Fences it a lot finer than he would have liked
11.3 Aravind to Yuvraj, 1 run, backs away with his body arching back. All that before waiting for the ball to get right close and keeps third man busy with his run downs
11.2 Aravind to Yuvraj, no run, 118kph, off a length and on the tight lines around off. A tapped push to cover
11.1 Aravind to Henriques, 1 run, 116kph. The slower one perhaps. Slanting across, but too close for the cut to be unleashed.
10.6 Binny to Yuvraj, 2 runs, opens himself up and his bat along in the process of running it down to third man.
10.5 Binny to Yuvraj, 2 runs, marginally wide. The sitting up length once again. A stab follows through point. Off and running, courtesy a brace
10.4 Binny to Henriques, 1 run, off with a checked push to mid-on to give the man the crowds have come for the strike

10.2 Binny to Dhawan, FOUR, oh boy. He’s toying around with the bowling out here. Binny looks to go wide outside off with the shortened length as well
