- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 Absolute stunner from Ramakrishna! This was on a length and outside off. Jacks, looking to force the issue, runs down and hoicks a lofted drive in the air. Grabs the bottom edge of the bat and it flies towards deep point. Ramakrishna runs in and pockets this with a big dive 1/16.4 And this time Rickelton departs. The ball was on a length, rushed onto the batter as he got down on one knee to try and loft a sweep. Couldn't get under this at all, and mistimes the ball over to deep midwicket 59/216.5 Sarfaraz brings out the slider at cover. Ran left, took it with a jump and fell across while ensuring the wrist was above the ground. Dhir yelled as the catch was completed. Slower 123ks ball was full at the stumps, Dhir made room and looked to go inside out 134/510.4 Jaffa in T20verse. More importantly, it's Ghosh's first IPL wicket. 133ks halfway down and outside off, may not have been as wide as SKY wanted as he went for the lofted cut. Yanked the back leg up while hitting from around rib-height, found deep point to perfection. Brevis, the fielder, was standing well in too 99/312.5 Miscommunication at cover but catch is taken! Gaikwad called for it going to the right at cover, Urvil didn't hear and kept going in his direction. Nearly shoulder-barged the skipper but Gaikwad turned to the right and took it nicely. Was a legbreak on a length just outside off, Tilak was beside the ball and went for the slog sweep. Got a top edge 109/419.3 Hardik's misery ends. Looked like he timed it well for a change but it's taken well inside the deep-midwicket boundary. 137ks slot ball angling in at the stumps. Hardik was standing at an angle and was behind it too, went for the lofted on-drive and held the pose instead of following through fully. 151/717.2 Ball is onion, bat is knife. Minz angled the bat, not fully horizontal, as Minz looked to cut it through cover. Bounced onto the stumps. 132ks back of length ball was outside off and the shot was on 139/6Extras5 (b 2, lb 2, w 1)TOTAL159/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.95)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Will Jacks, 1.2 ov), 2-59 (Ryan Rickelton, 6.4 ov), 3-99 (Suryakumar Yadav, 10.4 ov), 4-109 (Tilak Varma, 12.5 ov), 5-134 (Naman Dhir, 16.5 ov), 6-139 (Robin Minz, 17.2 ov), 7-151 (Hardik Pandya, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.6 And this time Bumrah gets the wicket! Back of a length and rising, rising, edged. Samson goes for another waft without much foot movement and can only bunt it back to the keeper. Rickelton puts in an amazing dive to his right to pouch this in his gloves 13/15.4 Urvil's show comes to an end. He was down on one knee, looking for another big swing to this length ball outside off.
