- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.2 Priyansh is livid, yells as Marsh seems to have taken an ice-cool boundary catch at long-off. Sent upstairs by the ump. Catch taken above head as he lifted both feet, the back foot then landed... and we'll need to zoom in for this... inches within the cushion! Priyansh walks back to a rousing occasion from fans, team-mates and owners. Was a hittable slot ball angling away around off, Priyansh cleared the front leg and swung with the bat-face opening slightly. Nearly enough. He'll leave without a hundred 187/30.3 First-ball duck for Prabhsimran Singh, and it's a trademark Shami dismissal! Perfect outswinger outside off, with that upright seam, and Prabhsimran goes fishing and gets a thick edge. The ball flies to Mitch Marsh at slip who takes it comfortably 3/113.5 Is the party finally over? Yes! Prince prays likely in relief. Connolly looks up, sighs and walks back. Job done though. Was a 139ks pace-on, back of length ball just outside off, rose around rib-height, Connolly looked to belt it through midwicket but got a top edge that was taken at short third. Partnership ends at 182 off 80 185/215.2 Three quick wickets before PBKS reach 200. 127ks, angling away again. Shreyas looked to drive the fullish length ball inside out over extra cover again. He's a touch too late on it this time and outside edges it to short third. Impressive from Mohsin as that was slow but still hurried the batter 193/419.6 Stunnig bowling! Near yorker. 137ks low full toss on leg, flicked through midwicket. Pooran ran in and threw it on the bounce over leg stump. Pant whips off the bail... no, it was a direct hit replay shows. Five off the last over, effectively a maiden 254/716.5 Pooran runs across to the left and takes it at deep midwicket. Bread-basket catch, threw the ball back as though he was just fielding. Wadhera flung his bat up, spinning his frustration away. Length ball outside off, pulled across the line 208/519.4 Good catch at mid-on, Markram jumps at falls back after catching it with both hands. Held on with the right. Prince's prayerbration returns. Looked like Shashank read the slower one there, 119ks just outside off, he pulled hard but got it off the upper-half 252/6Extras9 (lb 3, w 6)TOTAL254/7 (20 Overs, RR: 12.7)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Prabhsimran Singh, 0.3 ov), 2-185 (Cooper Connolly, 13.5 ov), 3-187 (Priyansh Arya, 14.2 ov), 4-193 (Shreyas Iyer, 15.2 ov), 5-208 (Nehal Wadhera, 16.5 ov), 6-252 (Shashank Singh, 19.4 ov), 7-254 (Marcus Stoinis, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.1 Marsh exasperates on one knee, smiles in resignation as his tough stay ends. 86ks legbreak with a lot of revs, lands on the fuller side of length wide of off, Marsh got on one knee and looked to sweep it straight. Got it flat and straight to long-on 109/25.6 Vyshak gets the breakthrough! He follows up his yorker barrage with a full ball outside off, just wide enough to make Badoni reach out to try and whip it over the leg side. Badoni tries to do that anyway, and only ends up hitting it to midwicket. Powerplay ends with LSG on 61 for 1 61/112.4 Keeper catch. Given. Pant chats with Pooran and... reviews. Yorker landing just outside the crease around sixth stump. Pant's knee was on the ground and facing cover as he reached out, opened the bat face and looked to slice it. Ball was too low, Pant's grip weakened and outside edge hit the ground with the ball close to bat. Hard to tell what it hit from the audio... but what about sight? It does lead to a conclusive answer as there is a deflection away. Easy catch for the keeper. Arshdeep's finger went up straight away 128/314.2 Luck not enough for Pooran. Slot ball but without change in arm speed. Off the knuckle at 118ks around middle and leg, Pooran was out of the crease and beside the ball as he looked to launch it down the ground. Swung a touch too early. Shreyas ran in from long-off and took it behind the stumps around about. Pooran tosses his bat and catches it as he walks back in disappointment. Horror season so far 139/419.5 They finally take one. Stoinis at long-on gets behind it and takes it on the lower side. Wide and full ball, Markram looked to launch it off side again. Got it off the bottom 199/5Extras9 (lb 2, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL200/5 (20 Overs, RR: 10)Fall of wickets: 1-61 (Ayush Badoni, 5.6 ov), 2-109 (Mitchell Marsh, 11.1 ov), 3-128 (Rishabh Pant, 12.4 ov), 4-139 (Nicholas Pooran, 14.2 ov), 5-199 (Aiden Markram, 19.5 ov)
